Q

Describe the 5 environmental conditions that are monitored

A
  1. Surface temp - measure of the temp of the surface being coated. Min is usually 40F and max is 125 F. Affect solvent evaporation, curing rates, and improper film formation
  2. Air temp - at night steel radiates heat , at day absorbs heat , higher air temp can result in shorter pot life, shorter induction time and lower viscosity, lower cure time . low air temp = adhesive issues, longer pot life, longer induction time and higher viscosity.
  3. Relative humidity - impacted by air temp , amount of water vapor : max amount of water vapor the air can hold at that temp. high RH affect curing , should stay BELOW 85% to prevent moisture from forming and 40% to prevent corrosion, lead to solvent entrapment
  4. Dew Point - 5 below surface temp , function of air temp and RH
  5. Wind speed - cause overspray and dry spray (when solvent evaporates before the paint stream reaches the substrate)

Q

surface preparation takes place in 3 phases

A

3 phases
1. initial surface condition assessment - visually assessing the surface to determine: type of substrate, initial condition ,design challenges and fabrication defects that would affect the surface preparation or coating process.
2. precleaning the surface -removal of visible and non visible surface contaiments.
Visibal = dirt, grimes, oil
Non visual = salts, chlroides, sulfates and nitrates
3. surface prepartion

16
Q
  1. identify type of substrate because type of metal affects the choice of surface preparation
A

“most common substrates are steels
1. new or unpainted steels - removal of mill scales, blast cleaning using either shot or grit
2. previously coated steel surfaces - coated surface should be checked prior to surface preparation to identify the coating condition, type of coating, and recommendation for removal or overcoat. damage coating should be removed, intact coating , clean with solvent , dully and smooth hard glossy coating through abrasion and feather edge
3. SS - remove any film to prevent the coating from detaching from substrate (may only require degreasing or water rising)
4. Galvanized steel - remove loosely adhered film/ oxides or powdery zinc salts by water washing, light blast cleaning, treating with an acid solutions (ASTM D6386 - std practice of preparation of Zinc)
5. Aluminum - check for oxidations, remove oil and grease, if corroded , wire brush or light blasting (ASTM D1730)”

17
Q
  1. Determining the condition of the substrate
A

determine as it will impact the appearance of the surface after it has been prepared. Use SSPC visual guides

18
Q

visual guides for surface cleanliness of CS is ____applicable to SS . VIS guides are ____to the written NACE/SSPC standards

A

NOT / supplemental

19
Q

visual guides (4) - VIS and (1) ISO

A

SSPC-VIS3 - power and hand tool cleaning
SSPC- VIS 1 - dry abrasive blast cleaning
SSPV VIS 4/NACE 7 - waterjetting
SSPC VIS5/NAC 9 - wet abrasive blast cleaning
ISO 8501 -1 - combines both hand/power tool cleaning and abrasive blasting in the same standards

20
Q

VIS and ISO A-D grades

A

VIS guide A-D grades “A-100% mill
B - rust and mill
C - 100% rust
D- rust and pitting”

21
Q
  1. Identify substrate challenges and defects “surface defects = (5)
A

(1) laminations - imperfection in steel that is created during the folling process, results from blister, seams , scratches . Remove by gridning or scraping and cehcked before and after surface prep.
(2). Inclusions - non metallic impurties that are trapped in the metal at continuous - remove by chipping and or gridning , weld filling can then restore the surface
fabrication defects=
(3) Gouges - share indentation caused by mechancial damages - Round indentation with a file or grinder so the entire surface can be evenly
(4). shapre angles bend corners - create surface tension , result in a thinner DFT-round all sharp bends/corners to a smooth radius. Stripe coat prior to coating application
(5) imperfect welds , rough /skip/weld splatter = grind the weld smooths / gap filled with asealer or caulking / remove with impact tool or chipping hammer or grind down.

1. threads
2. dissimilar metals
3. gaps/crevices
4. angles and corners
5. overlaping surfaces “
