4.11 Tank Interiors

Inside surfaces of man ways, nozzles, bosses and other connections shall be blasted and
coated with the same system as the internal surfaces of the tank or vessel.

5.0 SURFACE PREPARATION

5.1 Solvent Cleaning

All surfaces to be coated shall be cleaned of all contaminants that may affect the integrity of
the coating system. Prior to surface preparation, the surfaces shall be cleaned, as necessary,
to remove all oil, grease, dirt, salts or other foreign material. This cleaning shall be by
appropriate detergent and/or solvent cleaning. Detergent or solvent cleaning shall be
performed as outlined in SSPC-SP-1 or NACE equivalent.

5.2 Hand or Power Tool Cleaning

5.2.1 Hand tool cleaning or power tool cleaning shall be per SSPC-SP-2 and SSPC-SP-3, or
NACE equivalent.

5.2.2 Company approval is required before power tool cleaning can be substituted for abrasive
blasting.

5.3 Abrasive Blasting

5.3.1 All abrasive blasted surfaces shall be blasted in accordance with the SSPC or NACE blast
specified on the Coating System Data Sheets.

5.3.2 The anchor pattern shall be as specified on the Coating System Data Sheets.

5.3.3 Only dry grit-type abrasives shall be utilized. The abrasive shall comply with government
regulations. The abrasive shall be used in accordance with manufacturer's specifications and
shall contain no harmful impurities, such as salt. If approved by Company, hard, virgin
silica sand with a breakdown rate of less than 10 percent may be used. Sand shall be used
only once and not recycled.

5.3.4 Prior to the start of blasting, maklv shall select an appropriate abrasive and mesh size to
attain the specified anchor pattern. Maklv shall demonstrate to Company that the selected
abrasive shall provide the specified anchor pattern by blasting a representative piece of steel
and measuring the anchor pattern using Press-O-Film tape or Company-approved equal.
Any change in abrasive or mesh size shall be qualified in the same way prior to the change.

5.3.5 Weld areas shall be ground, chipped or wire brushed as necessary prior to blasting to remove

rust, residual flux and weld spatter.

5.3.6 Steel surface slivers, laminations, laps, scabs or seams exposed by blasting shall be reported
to Company, investigated, and repaired by using rules from the applicable code for repairs.

5.3.7 Prior to abrasive blasting, valves, sight glasses, nametags, machinery, electrical fixtures,
etc., subject to damage from either the blast or from the abrasive material shall be protected.

5.3.8 Cadmium-plated, electroplated, metallized or other specially coated items shall not be
blasted unless otherwise directed by Company.

5.3.9 Blasting shall be accomplished so that previously painted surfaces are not contaminated by
abrasive or blast wastes.

5.3.10 Inhibitive washes intended to prevent rusting shall not be used after blasting.

5.3.11 A minimum of 4 inches around the edge of blasted areas shall be left unprimed unless
adjoining a coated surface. Subsequent blasting shall continue a minimum of 1 inch into the
primed surfaces. These requirements are to ensure that coating is not applied over unblasted
steel. The rough edge of the blasted coating shall be feather edged as described in Section
4.3.12 below.

5.3.12 When the coating is damaged down to the steel, and spot cleaning is necessary, blasting or
power tool cleaning shall clean these areas. After the metal surface has been cleaned, the
edge of the surrounding coating shall be feather-edged to remove all cracked, loose or
damaged coating. Feather-edging shall be accomplished by power or hand sanding with a
grit wheel or sandpaper. The prepared surface shall be free of all loose, burnt, or blistered
coating.

5.4 Galvanized and Aluminum Surfaces

5.4.1 All galvanized and aluminum surfaces specified to be painted shall be pretreated with a
vinyl butyral wash primer.

5.4.2 Galvanized pieces, such as gratings, which will be installed over steel surfaces to be painted,
that will interfere with painting shall not be installed prior to painting the underlying steel.
If the galvanized pieces must be installed before final painting, they shall first be wash-
primed per Section 4.4.1 above, and coated with the same intermediate coating as the
underlying steel. In all cases, the underlying steel shall be abrasive blasted and primed prior
to installing galvanized pieces over the steel.

Company approved equal. The dry film thickness gauge shall be calibrated to Company
satisfaction at the beginning of coating work and thereafter, regularly and whenever
Company requests recalibration. Calibration shall be made by comparison with the dry film
thickness measured on known standards such as a micrometer-measured paint film or
National Bureau of Standards Calibration Coating Inspection Record. Dry film thickness
shall be recorded for each coat as work proceeds, as well as for the total thickness of each
finished coating system.

7.5.2 The entire surface of internal linings shall be inspected for holidays using a Company
approved 67 1/2-volt holiday detectors calibrated for detection of a resistance of less than
80,000 ohms. Suitable wetting agents, such as Kodak Photo Flow, and shall be added to the
water to increase sensitivity. When testing hard-to-get-at locations around appurtenances
and nozzles, a small sponge attachment shall be used.

Areas containing holidays shall be locally sandblasted to bare metal, recoated with the same
system and retested for holidays. Detected holidays, correction and final holiday-free
inspection shall be recorded on the Coating Inspection Record. Maps shall be provided to
document the areas recoated.

7.5.3 The entire surface of splash zone coatings shall be inspected for holidays using a Company
approved high voltage spark type detector set at 15 to 30 kV. The voltage setting shall be
determined based on the detection of an artificially created holiday in the coating. Areas
containing holidays shall be locally sandblasted to bare metal, recoated and reinspected.
