14 Appendix 5 Cold Applied High Solid Liquid Epoxy Coatings On Casting Surfaces (Both Internally and Externally) 1. Surface Preparation All surfaces to be coated shall be clean and dry and free from porosity, crack, sand, rust, oil, grease and other foreign matter. They shall be prepared by abrasive blast cleaning to Sa 2 ½ Standard (ISO ). Only dry abrasive blasting procedures shall be used. Any clean surface left overnight without coating shall be reblasted before application of coating. In the event rusting occurs after completion of surface preparation due to bad weather, the surface shall again be cleaned in accordance with the specified standard. Cleaning shall be discontinued each day in sufficient time to permit the surfaces cleaned to be coated before rust booming. 2. Coating Application Coatings shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.3 of AWWA C Application of coating shall be by spraying to a total dry film thickness of more than 356 microns but less than 635 microns. The coating shall not have coating imperfections such as blisters, cracks, bubbles, underfilm voids, mechanical damages, holidays, pinholes or discontinuities. 3. Coating Repair Areas requiring coating repairs due to coating imperfections shall be cleaned using hand and power tool to minimum St 2 Standard (ISO ). The adjacent coating shall be roughened. All dust shall be wiped off. Same coating material shall be applied to the prepared repair areas immediately to the required thickness. Repairs shall be electrically inspected using a holiday detector. 4. Coating Procedure a. Coating System 1 (one) coat system b. Application Condition : J.14

15 Surfaces shall not be coated in rain, wind, fog, mist or in areas where airborne elements exist; when the steel surface temperature is less than 3 0 C above dewpoint; when the relative humidity is greater than 85%. Blast-cleaned surfaces shall be coated as soon as practical, not later than rust booming. c. Paint Application Procedure : Mixing, pot life, thinner shall be as per paint manufacture recommendation. Apply a wet coat in even parallel passes. Overlap each pass 50% to avoid bare areas pinholes or holidays. Thinning normally not required. Thin only for workability with not more than 10% by volume of thinner. Check thickness of dry coating with non-destructive dry film thickness gauge. In confined areas, observe safety rules provided by paint manufacturer. Uncured paint should not be exposed to water, chemicals or mechanical stress before the paint is fully cured. It is recoatable provided that the existing surface is cleaned from oil or other foreign contamination. Prior to recoating all irregular surfaces are to be sand paper abraded. For multicoat system, recoating time shall follow paint manufacturer recommendation. Prior to recoating, all irregular surfaces are to be sand paper abraded. 5. Inspection a. Surface Preparation : Visually (From ST2 to SA 2.5) b. Surface Profile : The profile height shall be spot checked with Elcometer Profile Gauge or Keane- Tator Comparator with reference to5a. above. c. Paint Material J.15

16 Record batch number d. Metal Temperature The magnetic metal temperature gauge should be used. Metal temperature must be 3 0 C above the dew point. e. Wet Film Thickness (WFT) The comb-type gauge shall be used. f. Dry Film Thickness (DFT) The Elcometer DFT Gauge shall be used. g. Visual Inspection Coats shall be smooth, free from dry spray, pinholes, blisters, craters and excessive sagging. 6. Testing on Applied External and Internal Coating 6.1 Holiday Test ASTM G62-87 All pipes shall be checked for continuity of the applied protection in accordance with ASTM G Discontinuities and pinholes indicated by the test shall be made good as per the manufacturer recommendation. 6.2 Adhesion Test When an adhesion test is carried out, it shall comprised one of the following methods : a. The Ring Test A ring 75mm wide shall be cut cold from one end of finished pipes. The ring shall be flattened at a temperature between 10 0 C and 21 0 C to 50% of the original diameter. The lining and / or coating shall not part from the metal under this test. b. The Strip Test Using a tool with a thin sharp blade, two cuts approximately 50mm apart shall be J.16

17 made through the protection on the metal pipe. Sudden impact that would cause ultimately separation shall be avoided. The blades shall be worked under the protection and an attempt made to peel it from the metal. The adhesion shall be considered satisfactory if removal of the protection causes cohesive failure and the protection does not peel cleanly from the primer or the pipe surface. c. Measuring Adhesion by Tape Test ASTM D Test method A is primarily intended for use at job sites. An X cut is made in the film to the substrate, pressure sensitive tape is applied over the cut and then removed, and adhesion is assessed qualitatively on the 0 to 5 scale. The acceptance should be 4A-Trace peeling or removal along incision or at their intersection. d. Pull-Off Strength of Coating Using Portable Adhesion Testers ASTM D This test method is for the determination of perpendicular force of the coating can bear a plug of material is detached. It has to be carried on a flat surface. The general pull-off test is performed by securing a loading fixture (dolly) normal (perpendicular) to the surface of the coating with an adhesive. After the adhesive is cured, a testing apparatus is attached to the loading fixture and aligned to apply tension normal (perpendicular) to the test surface. The force applied to the loading fixture is then gradually increased and monitored until either a plug of coating material is detached or a specified value is reached. The acceptance criterion is a minimum strength of 20 kg/cm 2. The tests shall be performed when the protection has been allowed to cure at a temperature not less than 10 0 C or more than 35 0 C for a minimum of 48 hours after application. However for pull-off adhesion test, a proper curing period of 7 days is required before the test. Note : When an adhesion test is required, this should be stated by the purchaser during enquiring or ordering. J.17
