Chapter Quesrions #2 Flashcards
High humidity during coating application:
Slows the evaporation of the solvent
Can leave moisture on the surface of the coating
May cause amine blush (must be removed prior to top coating)
May effect the gloss or color
Coatings may be applied by the following methods:
Roller
Brush
Airless spray (including plural component) Brush
Conventional spray
Airless spray (including Air Assisted Airless)
High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP)
High Conventional spray
High temperatures concerns during coatings application include:
Can cause the solvent to evaporate too fast
Will reduce the pot life
Decrease the viscosity of many two-component materials
Low temperature concerns during coatings application include:
Slow the curing of chemically curing coatings
Will increase the viscosity of material
Some coatings may use special cure
One guide for enclosures for coatings projects is:
SSPC Technology Guide No. 12
SSPC Technology Update No. 6 Guide for Containing surface
Preparation Debris Generated During paint removal operations
Documentation may include:
Detailed written daily report Inspection logs Routine reports Reports for weekly progress Daily entries in a project log book A daily inspection report using standardized forms Monthly or quarterly reports
Inspection records show:
Pretreatment Details Environmental conditions Cleaning details Materials Details Coating applications Details Materials Details Results of work and all test
Good records allow management to:
Evaluate coating performanc
Detect and tag design defects for future work
Determine annual cost data on each coating system
Develop ongoing maintenance program
Project inspection documentation provides:
Inspection (QC) records
Verification of work performed by the contractor
Management information
Details of non-conforming work
Goals of a Pre Job Conference include:
Discuss health, safety and environment (HES) Requirements f a Pre Job
Address/ clarify emergency procedures
Review and discuss scope of work (SOW)
Review logistical support
Discuss line communications between parties
Review known critical hazards
Establish list of critical point of contacts (POCS)
Discuss and clarify inspector (s) responsibilities and authority
Clarify the chain of command (Reporting system)
Discuss and clarify inspector (s) responsibilities and authority
Discuss and clarify areas of concern in the project specification
(Omissions, clarifications, testing)
Agree on critical hold points for inspections
Conflict resolution between the inspector and applicator
Change orders
People may be required to attend a pre-job conference include:
Owner Owners contract manager Engineer Operations personal Specifier Specifying engineer Purchasing agents Coatings Inspector (s) Coatings applicator (Supervision personnel) Project safety personnel Coating manufacturer (preferably tech, service rep)
Before the start of the Pre Job Conference the inspector should obtain a copy of, read, and understand the:
Specification
Any standard / procedure referenced in the project specifications
Manufacturer’s product data sheets
Safety requirements of the MSDS
When using Replica tape common errors include:
Variation in point-to-point profile over the surface being tested
The presence of particles of dirt on either the replica tape or gauge
Gauge Accuracy
The rubbing or burnishing technique
List the Standards for using the Replica tape:
ASTM D 4417 Method C
NACE SP 0287-2002
The two types of replica tape are commonly used:
Coarse—for 20 to 64 µm (0.8- to 2.5-mils)
X-Coarse—for 38 to 115 µm (1.5- to 4.5-mils)
The ISO Comparator grades may be recorded:
Finer-than-Fine Grade Fine Grade Medium Grade Coarse Grade Coarser-than-Coarse Grade
Depth of surface profile can be evaluated by several methods:
ISO Comparator
Replica tape
Digital Profile Gaug
Test for soluble salts include:
Bresle Patch
Sleeve Test
Soluble Salt Meters
Conductivity Meters
If inspection is to be effective with regards to soluble salts, the specification should very clearly state:
Limits to be accepted Specific salts to be limited Test method to be used Frequency of testing Locations in which tests should be administered
Types of Soluble Salt Contamination include:
Chlorides
Sulfates
Nitrates
Coatings Product Data Sheets (Paint Specs) provide users with the following:
Surface preparation Storage Mixing and thinning Application procedure DFT requirements
MSDS contains the following:
Provides workers and emergency personnel with critical information
on composition, handling or working with the substance
Includes information such as melting point, boiling point, flash point,
toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage, disposal,
protective equipment, and spill handling procedures.
Provides information regarding the safety issues associated with any
hazardous (or potentially hazardous) material.
Provides instructions for the correct action to take in the event of a
spill, explosion, fire or hazardous exposure.
