Blasting and painting inspection for fabrication shall be done in accordance to specified PTS
by PCMSB.

1.0 MATERIAL INSPECTION

1.1 Assures that all materials to be blasted and painted shall have passed through
material inspection or QC process inspection in the section where the materials
are fabricated.

1.2 Only materials or fabricated items with QC clearance shall be blasted and painted.

2.0 SURFACE PREPARATION

The QC Inspector shall see to it that the prevailing weather condition permits
operation prior to dry blast cleaning.

2.1 Checks that proper make-up of abrasives, (shot/grit) are in order to hold
reasonably a constant abrasive size and shape.

2.2 Must see to it that the abrasive (slag) used shall be dry and free from
contamination.

2.3 QC Inspector shall see to it that only those slugs which have passed through
materials inspection shall be used.

2.4 Checks at random the pressure of supplied air directly to the gun through the
pressure gauge attached to the equipment.

2.5 Assures that air blast from air receivers shall be freed of detrimental amounts of
moisture and oil. Equipment performing this shall be regularly checked to see if
they are in good working condition.

2.6 Visual inspection on the blasted surface shall be conducted to check if surface
preparation conforms to specification.

2.7 Measure anchor profile pattern depth with the use of a surface PROFILE
comparator.

2.8 If blasting is performed during the night and paint to be performed the following
morning, the surface shall have a light re-blasting to clean the surface.

2.9 All spent abrasives shall be removed from the deck and skids daily and shall be
packed for disposal. Silica free and minimum dusting abrasives shall be used.

2.10 Blasting abrasive types to be are Copper Slag (16 – 30 or 14 – 30) or Garnet
(30 – 60). The applications for both abrasives are open blast or wet blast at open
or confine space. Copper slag used for open blast shall not be reused or recycle.

2.11 The surface blast profile (anchor pattern) shall be 30 – 75 microns for SP5
blast standard.

2.12 Three coat system designations refer to codes as shown in Petronas PTS.
Individual coats are labeled in order of application and must be clearly
distinguishable in color from successive coat in the three coat system.

3.0 PAINTING

Prior to painting, materials to be painted must have passed dry blasting inspection.
Materials e.g. paint, thinner, etc., must have passed material inspection prior to
application.

3.1 Mixing, thinning, application method and equipment use shall be strictly
followed. Inspectors assigned shall see to it that procedures are always followed
and specifications met.

3.2 The painting inspector must see to it that dew point and relative humidity
readings permit painting applications.

3.3 Random checking of metal surface temperature and relative humidity. The
temperature should not be less 5°F above dew point and the relative humidity
should not be greater than 85 percent.

3.4 The inspector shall see to it that the required numbers of coats are applied.

3.5 Conduct random measuring of wet film thickness with the use of the wet film
thickness (WFT) gauge.

3.6 Visual inspection must be conducted on every coated surface. Any defects such as
blistering, runs, sags, drips, “orange peeling”, or other flaws shall be rejected and
rectified.

3.7 After application of topcoat, coated surfaces must be inspect by the QC inspector
to confirm the final DFT.

3.8 Curing time must be attained before applications of next coating and before
transferring of painted materials to prevent damage.

4.0 HANDLING

4.1 Padded slings, soft lifting gear, bags or other suitable packing shall be used to
prevent damage to painted items during loading, unloading, handling and
transport.

5.0 DISPOSITION OF INSPECTED MATERIALS

5.1 All discrepancies or deviations observed during inspection shall be recorded and
observed for proper disposition and rectification.

5.2 Any condition not covered by this procedure shall be discussed with the
Customer’s Authorized Representative for proper disposition.

6.0 DAMAGED COATING SYSTEM

6.1 All major damaged coating system shall be repaired spot or sweep blast and shall
be applied original with full coat beginning with primer coat.

6.2 If the damaged area is minor less than 2 sq. m, repair with power tool cleaning
then apply HS Epoxy Mastic and Finish coat sequence.

7.0 REPORTS

7.1 Reports will be attached to the manufacturing data report.
