5.4.1 (Visual and Ultraviolet (UV) Light or Water-Break Test): Conduct a visual inspection to verify all surfaces within the

scope of the project are free of hydrocarbons, and other contaminants such as sea salts, loose rust, mud, and marine growth, which could become imbedded in the surface to be prepared. Inspect surface using a UV light (approx. 60 Å) to detect hydrocarbons on the surface. The ultraviolet light will not allow the proper detection of hydrocarbons on the surface if the surface being inspected is exposed to day or artificial light. Therefore for proper UV light hydrocarbon

detection, lights must be off for interior spaces, and the inspection must be conducted during darkness for surfaces

exposed to sunlight. Take appropriate safety measures to prevent worker hazards in the darkened space. A Water-Break Test may be used in lieu of Ultraviolet Light and must be used in mercury exclusion areas.

5.4.1.1 When using the Ultraviolet (UV) Light Test and hydrocarbons are present, the hydrocarbons will fluoresce as bright

green, lime green, or blue/violet on the surface. 5.4.1.2 When performing the Water-Break test, spray a mist of atomized distilled water to form a uniform film on a 1 ft² surface area for every 200 ft² of surface area to be tested. After a period of one minute observe the film to

determine if it is still intact, or if it has separated due to the presence of hydrocarbons on the surface. 5.4.1.3 To remove detected contaminants or hydrocarbons, accomplish a solvent wipe on affected areas. Follow SSPC-SP-1

to remove contaminants and hydrocarbons. 5.4.1.4 If contaminants or hydrocarbons are detected on the surface after attempting to solvent spot repair, the entire surface

shall be de-greased again as directed in paragraph 5.3. 5.4.1.5 Document results of the Visual and Ultraviolet (UV) Light or Water-Break Test on Appendix 2 (CLEANLINESS CHECKPOINT).

5.4.2 (Structural and Pre-Surface Conditioning): Verify all surfaces within the scope of the project are IAW paragraphs 5.1 & 5.2. 5.4.3 (Contamination Containment and Masking): Verify all surfaces within the scope of the project are IAW paragraphs

4.10 through 4.11.

6. SURFACE PREPARATION:

6.1 Per paragraph 4.8, continuously monitor environmental conditions (surface and air temperature, % relative humidity, and dew point). Environmental readings are not required for surface preparation for nonskid.

6.2.4 Recyclable ferrous metallic abrasive materials conforming to SSPC-AB-3 of Ref. 2.a. may be used as an abrasive blast media for steel substrates. 6.2.4.1 Cleanliness of recyclable ferrous metallic abrasive materials shall be measured and maintained in accordance with the requirements of SSPC-AB-2 of Ref. 2.a. 6.2.4.2 Submit one legible copy to the Contracting Regional Maintenance Center, in hard copy or electronic media, of the results of the quality control requirements of paragraph 6 of SSPC-AB-2 and the quality assurance test required by paragraph 5 of SSPC-AB-3. 6.3 When a medium durability PPI specifies moisture tolerant system installation UHP water jetting shall be used for

surface preparation. Accomplish the surface preparation requirements of NAVSEA Standard Item 009-32 for the locations/area being prepared. Minimum requirement is SSPC-SP 12, UHP WJ-2L.

6.3.1 If difficulty is experienced meeting the required conductivity levels when UHP water jetting, ensure that water from the UHP water jetting is not allowed to sit or pool on the prepared surface. If difficulty is still experienced with no water allowed to remain on the prepared surface then consideration should be given to using water with conductivity

below 70 microsiemens/cm for non-immersed applications and 30 microsiemens/cm for immersed applications.

6.3.2 For UHP water jetted area a blow down is required; using dry, oil free compressed air, blow down all horizontal and vertical surfaces, starting at the top working downward. Perform blotter test for oil and water IAW Ref. 2.r.

6.3.3 For areas prepared to SSPC-SP-12, UHP water jetted surfaces will retain the surface profile prior to surface treatment. In areas where the substrate is below the required profile, use a profile producing power tool or abrasive blasting to achieve a minimum 2.0 mil surface profile for areas other than nonskid. For nonskid areas the minimum surface profile is 3.0 mils.

NOTES: GRINDERS AND SANDERS MAY BE USED TO PREPARE COATINGS OR REMOVE PAINT BUT ARE NOT

AUTHORIZED FOR SURFACE PREPARATION. FOR ALUMINUM DECKS: GRINDERS AND SANDERS SHALL BE EQUIPPED WITH 16-GRIT ALUMINUM OXIDE

ABRASIVE PADS. ABRASIVE MATERIALS (PADS, BELTS) SHALL NOT HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY USED TO PREPARE COPPER NICKEL METAL FOR PAINTING OR TO REMOVE COPPER BASE ANTI-FOULING PAINTS.

6.4.1 For low durability PPI's surface preparation shall be power tool cleaning to bare metal with a minimum surface profile

of 1.0 mil. If grinders or sanders that burnish, polish, or smooth a surface are used to produce a bare metal substrate and a 1.0 mil surface profile the expected coating system service life stated in the individual low durability PPI will be reduced by 50%.

6.4.2 POWER TOOL CLEANING ON STEEL SURFACE AREAS AS DETERMINED BY INSPECTION AND AGREED TO

BY THE REGIONAL CONTRACTING MAINTENANCE CENTER INACCESSIBLE TO ABRASIVE BLASTING OR UHP WATER JETTING:

6.4.2.1 For high and medium durability PPI's accomplish the requirements of SSPC-SP-11 Power Tool Cleaning to Bare Metal to remove all the existing coating and corrosion products. Surface preparation accomplished using a surface

preparation device such as a disk sander or power wire wheel that burnishes polishes or smoothes the surface is not authorized. A minimum 2.0 mil surface profile shall be achieved using surface profile producing tools such as

needle guns, star cutters, deck abraders, recyclable encapsulated abrasive media material conforming to SSPC-AB 4, etc.

6.4.2.2 Feather edges of adherent paint in adjacent areas remaining after cleaning.

These areas shall be prepared to a surface cleanliness as follows:

The surface when viewed without magnification shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dirt, dust, mill scale, rust, paint, oxide, corrosion products, and other foreign matter. Slight residues of rust and paint may be left in the lower portion of pits if the original surface is pitted. Surface preparation devices such as disk

sanders or power wire wheels that burnish, polish or smooth the surface are not permitted. A minimum 2.0 mil surface profile shall be achieved using surface profile producing tools such as needle guns, star cutters, deck abraders, etc. Before work begins, the owner and contractor must agree on the areas where power tool cleaning is permitted.

6.4.3.1 Feather edges of adherent paint in adjacent areas remaining after cleaning.

6.4.3.2 The Contracting Regional Maintenance Center shall have the authority to reject this method in any area if the surface can be shown to have adequate accessibility for abrasive blasting or UHP water jetting.

6.5 CHECKPOINT (Surface Preparation): Accomplish IAW NAVSEA Standard Item 009-32. The record shall show the extent of the inspection and detailed results. The degree of surface cleanliness shall be IAW the NACE/SSPC surface preparation standard specified; surface profile, soluble salt measurements, and adequacy of cleanup operations shall be recorded. The inspections shall be conducted to standardized acceptance criteria. Visual aids provided in Ref. 2.f, Ref. 2.g, or Ref. 2.h may be used to ensure quality standards are met; however, the written descriptions in the NACE/SSPC standards shall govern. Enter data on all applicable Appendices.

NOTE: FLASH RUSTING ON A STEEL SURFACE SHALL NOT EXCEED A DEGREE EQUAL TO SSPC-VIS 4 (VISUAL

REFERENCE FOR STEEL CLEANED BY WATER JETTING) STANDARD WJ-2L FOR NONSKID SURFACES AND WJ-2M FOR ALL OTHER SURFACES. IF FLASH RUSTING OCCURS, THE EXTENT OF THE FLASH RUST SHALL DETERMINE THE CORRECT METHOD OF MANAGING THE FLASH RUST. METHODS TO REDUCE THE FLASH RUST TO ACCEPTABLE LEVELS INCLUDE UHP WATER JETTING TO WJ-2L, SSPC-SP-12, SOLVENT WIPING OR HAND WIRE BRUSHING THE SURFACE TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE CONTRACTING REGIONAL MAINTENANCE CENTER.

6.5.1 (Surface Profile Measurements): Surface peak-to-valley profile shall be checked. For each area of preparation, one profile reading shall be taken every 100 sq ft for the first 500 sq ft. Only one profile reading shall be taken for every 1,000 sq ft remaining. Profile readings shall be taken in accordance with Ref 2.d using either Method B or C. For profile readings taken in accordance with Method C of 2.7, use profile tape suitable to read subject profile (i.e., coarse to extra-coarse plus). One profile reading shall be the average (mean) of 3 individual tapes. If areas are found to be greater than 5 mils, use Method B of 2.7 in those areas to determine existing profile. The retention of Testex tape is not required. If minimum profile is not present, proper minimum profile shall be established. The abrasive manufacturer’s type and mesh size used, if applicable, shall be entered on Appendix 3. (SURFACE PROFILE /PREPARATION & CLEANLINESS LOG).

6.5.2 (Soluble Salt Measurements Conductivity Testing): Conductivity samples shall be collected using a product that

meets the requirements of NACE SP0508-2008, “Methods of Validating Equivalence to ISO 8502-9 on Measurement of the Levels of Soluble Salts” (such as the Soluble Salt Conductivity Measurement according to Bresle Method, ARP Soluble Salt Meter model RPCT-07-001, or SaltSmart from Innovative Productivity, Inc.) Enclosure 1 provides the procedure for the Bresle method using a 1250 mm

2 Bresle Sample Patch and a HORIBA B-173 meter or equivalent

NAVSEA approved test equipment . Measurements shall be made randomly over the prepared surface. Take 1 reading for each 200 ft

2 for the first 1,000 ft

2. Take 1 additional measurement for each additional 500 ft² or less. For

immersed applications, conductivity due to soluble salts (total ionic) shall not exceed 30µS/cm (microsiemens/cm). For non-immersed applications, conductivity due to soluble salts (total ionic) shall not exceed 70µS/cm (microsiemens/cm).

6.5.2.1 If conductivity measurements for surfaces prepared to an SSPC-SP-10 exceed the respective values, water wash the

area exceeding the required limit with fresh water. Soluble salt conductivity limit of the fresh water shall not exceed 200µS/cm (microsiemens/cm). If low pressure, 3000 psi, water washing is used, in order to ensure it is effective, the

CORE PPI 13


operator shall maintain the wand within a maximum distance of 12 inches to the substrate. The angle of the wand relative to the substrate shall be maintained between 45º - 90º. Remove all standing water, dry the area, and retest.

If flash rusting has occurred, or/and soluble salt conductivity still exceed limits rewash, dry the area and retest. If the soluble salt conductivity limit is not reached after 2 washes, then perform water wash to the affected areas using water that is below 30µS/cm (microsiemens/cm) for immersed applications or below 70µS/cm (microsiemens/cm) for non-immersed applications. Repeat water wash and retest until satisfactory levels are obtained. If flash rusting has occurred, reblast the area and retest.

NOTE: IF AFTER A FRESHWATER WASH, THE MEASUREMENTS EXCEED REQUIRED LEVELS, A SALT REMOVER MAY BE USED; HOWEVER, THE ONLY SALT REMOVER PRODUCTS THAT MAY BE USED FOR A COATING SYSTEM ARE THOSE SPECIFIED ON THAT COATING'S NAVSEA-APPROVED ASTM F-718. 6.5.2.2 If conductivity measurements for surfaces prepared to an SSPC-SP-12 exceed the respective values, repeat SSPC-

SP-12 to the affected areas. Remove all standing water, dry the area, and retest. If flash rusting has occurred, reblast the area and retest. Repeat SSPC-SP-12 until satisfactory levels are obtained. If flash rusting has occurred,

reblast the area and retest. 6.5.2.3 If conductivity measurements for surfaces prepared to an SSPC-SP-11 in an isolated area exceed the respective

values, circle area and perform spot solvent cleaning (see table 631-2-1 in NSTM 631 for approved solvent for use) followed by retest6.5.2.4 For surfaces prepared by Power Tool Cleaning to Bare Metal that are not practical for the spot cleaning method, water wash these surfaces with fresh water, and scrub with hand scrub brush. Soluble salt conductivity limit of the fresh water shall not exceed 200µS/cm (microsiemens/cm). Immediately remove all standing water and dry the affected area. Immediately remove all flash rust developed. Anchor profile shall be re-established as required. Perform an SSPC-SP-1 solvent wipe on all sanded areas and retest. If the soluble salt conductivity limit is not reached after 2 washes, then perform water wash to the affected areas using water that is below 30µS/cm (microsiemens/cm) for immersed applications or below 70µS/cm (microsiemens/cm) for non-immersed applications. Repeat necessary steps until satisfactory levels are obtained.

6.5.3 (Environmental): Verify environmental conditions were monitored and maintained IAW paragraphs 4.8 and 4.9. 6.5.4 (Contamination Containment and Masking): Verify all surfaces within the scope of the project are IAW paragraph prior

4.10 to the application of paint. Surfaces must be clean and free of debris and dust. 6.5.5 (Test for Assessment of Surface Cleanliness): Immediately prior to primer coat application the substrate surface shall be checked for dust in accordance with Ref 2.k. The dust rating shall be no greater than Rating 2, Class 2. For structures up to 1,000 ft

2 other than UW hull and Flight deck nonskid, three

readings shall be taken. For every additional 1000 ft2 of area or increment thereof, one 100 ft

2 area shall be randomly

selected and sampled. For UW hull one reading for each 200 ft2 for first 1,000 ft

2 shall be taken. For every additional

500 ft2 of area or increment thereof, one 100 ft

2 area shall be randomly selected and sampled. For flight deck

nonskid, 3 individual readings are required every 100 ft2 for the first 500 ft

2; if the readings are satisfactory, 1

individual reading per 1000 ft2 remaining shall be taken. No reading shall be taken in the same 100 ft

2 area as

another reading. Document readings on Appendix 5 (PRESSURE SENSITIVE TAPE SAMPLES). 6.5.6 All tests and inspections noting unsatisfactory conditions shall result in the termination and rescheduling of the

checkpoint. At rescheduled checkpoint, QA shall document satisfactory corrective actions taken to correct discrepancy.

6.5.7 In order to pass the checkpoint, Appendices 1-5 and Enclosure 2 shall be up to date and submitted to QA. QA shall

sign in the appropriate areas on Enclosure 2. 7. PAINTING REQUIREMENTS: NOTES: CONTRACTING REGIONAL MAINTENANCE CENTER SHALL DESIGNATE COATING SYSTEM TO BE

APPLIED. TO MAINTAIN PROPER SURFACE CONDITIONS AFTER COMPLETION OF THE SURFACE PREPARATION

CHECKPOINT METHODS SUCH AS USE OF DEHUMIDIFICATION EQUIPMENT, ENVIRONMENTAL ENCLOSURES, AND SURVEILLANCE/MONITORING OF THE PREPARED SURFACE SHOULD BE EMPLOYED. COATING APPLICATION MUST START WITHIN 4 HOURS AFTER SURFACE PREPARATION CHECKPOINT COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE. COATING APPLICATION SHALL BE CONTINUOUS THROUGH COMPLETION OF THE AREA TO BE COATED. IF COATING APPLICATION HAS NOT STARTED WITHIN 4

CORE PPI 14


HOURS OF SURFACE PREPARATION CHECKPOINT COMPLETION THE SURFACE PREPARATION CHECKPOINT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SURFACE PROFILE MUST BE REPEATED.

PAINTING SHALL NOT BE PERFORMED WHEN SUSTAINED WINDS EXCEED 15 MPH, WITHOUT AN

ENCLOSURE. IF A SILICON ALKYD IS TO BE APPLIED DIRECTLY ON TOP OF A SOLVENT FREE COATING, THE SOLVENT

FREE COAT SHALL BE ALLOWED TO CURE FOR MINIMUM OF 24 HOURS BEFORE APPLICATION OF SILICON ALKYD.

WHEN INSTALLING MIL-PRF-23236, TYPE VII COATING SYSTEMS WITH AN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

GREATER THAN 77F IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT PLURAL COMPONENT EQUIPMENT BE USED FOR COATING SYSTEM APPLICATION.

FOR REPAIRED PIPING SYSTEM WELDS THAT REQUIRE HYDROSTATIC TEST, NO COATINGS ARE TO BE

APPLIED PRIOR TO PERFORMANCE OF HYDROSTATIC TEST. PAINT CONTAINING OPTICALLY ACTIVE PIGMENT (OAP) SHALL BE VISUALLY INSPECTED USING VIOLET

LIGHT; WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE INSPECTOR SHALL USE A VIOLET-LIGHT FLASHLIGHT CONFORMING TO ASTM E2501 TO ENHANCE THE NORMAL VISUAL INSPECTION PROCESS. AN ASTM E2501 FLASHLIGHT PRODUCES VIOLET LIGHT THAT ACTIVATES THE FLUORESCENT OAP. THE INSPECTOR SHALL WEAR YELLOW OR AMBER-TINTED GLASSES THAT BLOCK ULTRAVIOLET AND VIOLET LIGHT TO ACCOMPLISH THE INSPECTION. SEE ASTM E2501 FOR THE LIGHT TRANSMITTANCE SPECIFICATION FOR TINTED GLASSES AND HTTP://WWW.NSTCENTER.COM FOR A LIST OF SAFETY EYEWEAR MODELS THAT MEET THE SPECIFICATION

7.1 WET FILM MEASUREMENTS: WFT readings are required in lieu of DFT readings for any coat that must be in a

tacky state (tacky is defined as that curing (drying) stage when a fingertip pressed lightly, without twisting, against the film meets slight resistance when removed, leaves only a slight impression on the surface of the film, and none of the film sticks to the finger) when the next coat is applied.

7.1.1 During application, a WFT gage shall be used to verify the application of proper paint thickness for each coat of the coating system being installed. Readings shall be taken to confirm this, but need not be recorded. 7.2 DRY FILM THICKNESS MEASUREMENTS: Accomplish IAW Ref 2.b, record measurements in Appendix 7 (DRY FILM THICKNESS MEASUREMENTS). If a MIL-PRF 23236 Type VII coating system is applied and a stripe coat is not installed, in addition to the required DFTs per SSPC-PA 2, a separate set of “edge” DFT readings shall be taken on the top coat in close proximity to corners and edges of area structural elements including, but not limited to stiffeners, “rat holes,” cut-outs, and frames. This data shall be taken in accordance with SSPC-PA 2 with the following modifications:

1) The “edge” gage readings shall be taken approximately ¼ inch (i.e., 0.5 cm) from edges using micro-probe gages

with a probe less than or equal to ½-inch in diameter (such as Elcometer 456 with T456FM3R90A probe or DeFelsko Positector 6000 series gauge with mini probe F90S or F0S). For “edge” readings taken on substrates less than ½-inch thick, readings shall be taken from the “middle” of the substrate. Microprobe gages shall be calibrated, in accordance with manufacturer’s direction, to measure paint thicknesses expected during application.

2) Welds not associated with corners or edges (i.e., a butt weld joining two flat plates) shall be inspected using

standard visual techniques. The inherent roughness of the weld precludes the collection of reproducible data from these areas. Inspectors may, if they choose, take a spot reading within ¼ inch (i.e., 0.5 cm) from a butt weld. Such a reading would be included in the normal, flat surface data set, not the edge or corner data set.

3) An "edge" spot measurement shall consist of 3 gage readings taken within a 1.5 inch (i.e., 4 cm) diameter circle.

Accomplish front, back, and edge DFT gage readings as shown in Figure 1. For each data set required for the flat surface data set the equivalent is required for the edge or corner data set. For example, if 20 spot DFT measurements are required for an area, then 20 DFT measurements are required using the front, back, edge method set and 20 for the flat surface set.

Paint thickness in close proximity to “edges’ will be documented, evaluated, and corrective action taken to satisfy coating application thickness requirements. Coatings thicknesses measured on the flat portions of coated areas in

CORE PPI 15


accordance with IAW Ref 2.b, and coating thicknesses measured on “edges” shall be used to accept the areas for Navy service. The “flat portion” DFTs and “edge” DFTs shall be documented, and evaluated separately to ensure corrective actions (if necessary) target the appropriate area. Record measurements in Appendix 7 (DRY FILM

THICKNESS MEASUREMENTS).

Figure 1

7.3 RE-COAT PERIODS: Applicator shall conform to manufacturer’s minimum and maximum re-coat periods IAW Ref.

2.c. If the recoat window is exceeded, follow steps specified in paragraph 7.14.3 of this PPI. If the minimum recoat window is not conformed to, the coating must be removed and reapplied.

7.4 DRY PAINT FOR CHECKPOINTS: Paint shall be dry prior to all paint related checkpoints. Dry shall be defined as

fingernail hard. 7.5 LOW OUT OF SPECIFICATION DRY FILM THICKNESS: Failure to meet minimum dry film thickness requirements

shall result in application of an additional coat or coats of paint in deficient areas before the coat can pass the DFT checkpoints.

7.6 HIGH OUT OF SPECIFICATION DRY FILM THICKNESS: Excessive dry film thickness in a coat or cumulative coats

shall be determined IAW the coating table appendix found in the individual PPIs. If excessive DFT is determined, the Contracting Regional Maintenance Center shall be contacted on how to proceed. No sanding without Contracting Regional Maintenance Center approval for higher than specified DFT is to be done. For high solids, edge retentive coating systems, the following DFT information is provided: Total DFT > 30 mils is considered to be excessive. Total DFT up to 50 mils require no action.

7.7 RECEIPT INSPECTION OF COATING MATERIAL:

7.7.1 Receipt inspection of contractor-furnished coatings for non-critical areas shall be based on supplier performance history and one of the following: certificate of compliance or vendor material test certification data. Receipt inspection tests and their criteria may be found in the applicable specification for the paint or coating. Receipt inspection requirements for MIL-DTL-24441 and MIL-PRF-23236 coatings used in critical coated areas are described in paragraph 7.7.2.

7.7.2 Coating manufacturers shall test each batch of coating in accordance with NSTM 631, Table 631-11-1, subsection (1) and provide written documentation of satisfactory receipt inspection testing to each coating installer that purchases coatings for critical areas. As a minimum, receipt inspection conformance tests shall include: density (weight per gallon), consistency (viscosity), dry hard time (73°F), sag resistance, fineness of grind, appearance of dry film, color of dry film, and condition in container. In addition to the receipt inspection documentation the manufacturer shall provide written documentation that the product has been stored properly after receipt inspection testing until it is shipped to the coating installer. The coating installer shall require documentation from the transporting agent of the product that it has been maintained within the temperature range required in Ref. 2.c. A log containing the highest and lowest temperatures that the product was subjected to during transportation shall be sufficient for this purpose. If this documentation is not provided the coating installer can refuse receipt of the product or conduct receipt inspection testing. The responsible government authority shall require the documentation of receipt inspection testing as provided by the manufacturer to the coating installer along with the documentation verifying proper storage by the manufacturer after receipt inspection testing until coating installer receipt. If the coating installer does not provide the above-mentioned documentation, the coating shall not be installed in a critical area. In addition to providing the

CORE PPI 16


responsible government authority the written receipt inspection testing and proper storage documentation from the coating manufacturer for coatings for critical areas, the coating installer shall also provide written documentation of the date of receipt of the coating from the manufacturer and that the coating has been properly stored from the date of receipt until use. If the coating installer does not provide the above-mentioned written documentation, or if there is evidence that the coating for critical coated areas has not been properly stored, the coating installer shall be required, at their expense, to have the coating in question undergo receipt testing by the manufacturer prior to installation of that coating.

7.7.3 MIL-DTL-24441 and MIL-PRF-23236 coatings for critical coated areas shall have receipt inspection conducted in accordance with paragraph 7.7.2 and NSTM 631, Table 631-11-1 (Quality Control Parameters for Preservation of Critical Coated Areas).

7.8 CHECKPOINT (Paint Storage): 7.8.1 (Shelf Life): Verify shelf life of material has not expired IAW Ref. 2.c. Record expiration date in Appendix 6 (PAINT

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT & PAINT CONSUMPTION LOG). NOTE: NONSKID PAST ITS SHELF LIFE CANNOT BE USED. PAINT REQUIRES AUTHORIZATION, IF IT IS PAST ITS

SHELF LIFE.

7.8.2 Accomplish a visual inspection of paint storage facilities 24 hours prior to paint being mixed to verify that the paint

storage area ambient temperature is within the minimum and maximum range, 50-90F for paint and nonskid products. The paint storage temperature shall be monitored and recorded every 8 hours for 24 hours prior to the paint being used or the user may do core temp where they measure temp of material of each individual component (after each is mixed but before components are combined) to confirm it is in range of acceptable storage temperatures stated above (50-90 °F). Record measured temperatures in Appendix 1 (ENVIRONMENTAL READINGS).

7.9 PAINT APPLICATION: The use of single or plural component spray equipment is acceptable for application of paint

coats specified below. NOTE: PER REF 2.S, SECTION 3.3, THE PRIMER SHALL BE A CONTRASTING COLOR TO THE BARE STEEL

SUBSTRATE. SUCCEEDING COATS OF THE COATING SYSTEM SHALL BE OF CONTRASTING COLOR. 7.10 When applying prime, stripe, intermediate and topcoat, each must be of a contrasting color. 7.11 MIXING: Mix all paint material thoroughly in their individual container to disperse pigments and assure homogeneity.

FINAL INSPECTION: 13.1 CHECKPOINT (Finished Painted Surfaces): Accomplish IAW NAVSEA Standard Item 009-32. 13.1.1 (Dry Film Thickness): For steel surfaces perform dry film thickness measurements IAW Ref. 2.b. For a non-ferrous

substrate (aluminum) constant pressure eddy current gages (electromagnetic induction), similar to SSPC-PA2 Type 2 gages are to be used. Dry film thickness measurements should only be taken in those areas that were not done

CORE PPI 20


at the initial topcoat completion inspection (i.e., those areas disturbed since topcoat installation or those areas completed since topcoat installation).

13.1.2 Coating imperfections found, which may cause premature coating failure, shall be corrected before the paint system is accepted using appropriate touch-up procedures specified in paragraph 7.14. Slight imperfections in the coating

system are allowable, as long as dry film thickness conforms to SSPC-PA2, and will not result in premature failure of the coating in the immediate vicinity of the imperfection. Such slight imperfections shall be left intact, as trying to correct them could result in damage to the surrounding coating system.

13.1.3 In order to pass the checkpoint, any Appendices required by the certified coating inspector shall be up to date,

completed, and submitted to QA. QA shall sign Enclosure 2 in the appropriate areas. All test inspections noting unsatisfactory conditions shall be corrected.
