Chapter 8-9 Flashcards
Describe the role of hand and power tools in preparing a surface for coating applications
- hand tools = removal of loose mill scales, rust and particles
- power tools = removal of loose (SP3) and tightly adherent (for SP15/SP11) mill scale, rust, and paint. It is NOT intended to remove adherent mill scale, rust or paint -
Recognize the tools associated with hand tools
chisels, knives, wire brushes, scrapers , sandpaper, steel wool
1. sanding tools can create a feathered edge
Recognize the tools associated with power tools
rotary wire brushes / needle scaler/ rotary scalers / piston scalers/ grinders
1. Impact tools vs rotary/grinding tools - important to use extreme care because of high possibility of gouging.
impact tools
“can create a surface profile, remove weld splatter and heavy mill scale , and rust
needle scallers / piston scalers/ chipping hammers”
specialty tools
bristle blaster , all can created a surface profile > 1mils
grinding tools
wire brush will not remove weld spatter and only remove loose materials. May result in polished if over-working
Describe the industry standards that govern hand and power tool cleaning (SP2/3/15/11) / VIS ISO1-1 std 2 and std3
“SP-2 - hand tool cleaning
SP-3 - power tool cleaning
SP-15 - commercial grade power tool cleaning
SP-11 - power tool to bare metal
VIS 3 - guide and reference to hand/power tool (supplement to SSPC written procedures)
ISO 8501-1 std 2 - thorough hand and power tool cleaning
ISO 8501-1 -std 3 - very thorough hand and power tool cleaning”
SP-2 - hand tool cleaning - description
w/o magnification shall be free of visible deposit of oil and grease ad all LOOSE mill scale, rust, paint
SP-3 description
power w/o magnification shall be free of visible deposit of oil and grease ad all LOOSE mill scale, rust, paint
SP-15 description
free of all VISIBLE oil grease dirt mill scale, rust paint. No more than 33% random staining on 9in^2
SP-11 description
free of all VISIBLE oil grease dirt mill scale, rust paint. 3 levels (lvl 2 is default - lvl 1/2 no random staining allowed , lvl 3 only 5%.level 1 no residue is permitted in pit bottom, level 2 and level 3 have traces of corrosion in pit bottom
VIS 3 - guide and reference to hand/power tool (supplement to SSPC written procedures) “reference photos for SP2/3/11/15, illustrates 4 level of cleaniness - end conditions shown
A - mill scale 100%
B - rust / mill scale
C - 100% rust
D - 100% rust with pitted”
ISO 8501-1 std 2 - thorough hand and power tool cleaning
shall be free of from visible oil grease from POORLY adherely mill scall , rust, paint
ISO 8501-1 -std 3 - very thorough hand and power tool cleaning
same as std2, but surface shall be treated much more throughly to give a metallic sheen.
material is considered adherent if it cannot be be removed by a
DULL putty knife (not required in SP2/SP3)
important for hand tools to
feather to provide a smooth transition of the new applied coating
ISO 8504-3
ISO 8504-1
preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products part 3 for hand/power tools
ISO 8504-1 - same as above but general principles
power tools
rotary wire brushes / needle scaler/ rotary scalers / piston scalers/ grinders
hand tools
challenging physical location , difficult to reach area, sharp angles, weld slags, localized corrosions
Describe how abrasive blasting prepares a surface for coating application
abrasive blasting refers to the propelling of an abrasive media to clean, shape, roughen or smooth a surface
Identify the key components of blasting system and describe their function (11)
“1. Air compressor
2. Dyers
3. Blast pots
4. hoses ( service air/supply/bull or breathing air hose or blast hose)
5. couplings / whip check
6. deadman switch
7. nozzle - size 1/16”” , venturi/angled/ straight
8. in-line air filter
9. Co2 monitor
10. abrasive regulator valve - proper balance of abrasive being fed
11. main air inlet valve - start and stop flow of air”
NAce1 - SP5 -
white metal blasting - no evidence of adherent material or stainning
NACE2 / SP10 -
near white - SP6 + staining up to 5% on 9in^2
NACE3 / SP6 -
commercial blast - SP14 +
free of all visible mill scale, rust and paint + staining allowed up to 33% on 9in^2
NACE8/SP14 -
industrial blast - SP7 + tightly adherent mill scale up to 10% on 9in^2
NACE4/SP7 -
brush off- w/o magnification shall be free of all VISBLE oil, grease, dirt, dust and loose mill scale, rust, paint
