Paint Application (PA)

Paint Application (PA) cover both general and specific requirements for applying different types of coatings to a wide variety of surfaces.

SSPC-PA COM Commentary on Paint Application

This commentary summarizes and presents a general description of the SSPC standards, guides and specifications for Paint Application (PA). This commentary is for information only and is not part of any PA standard, guide, or specification.

SSPC-PA 1, Shop, Field, and Maintenance Printing of Steel

This specification covers procedures for the painting of steel surfaces. The scope of this specification is rather broad, covering both specific as well as general requirements for the application of paint. This specification does not provide detailed descriptions of surface preparation, pretreatments, or selection of primers and finish coats. This specification does provide detailed coverage of the procedures and methods for application after the selection of the coating materials has been made.

SSPC-PA 2, Measurement of Dry Coating Thickness with Magnetic Gages

This standard describes the procedures to measure the thickness of a dry film of a nonmagnetic coating applied on a magnetic substrate using commercially available magnetic gages. These procedures are intended to supplement manufacturers' operating instructions for the manual operation of the gages and are not intended to replace them.

The procedures for adjustment and measurement are described for two types of gages: pull-off gages (Type 1) and electronic gages (Type 2).

The standard defines a procedure to determine if the film thickness over an extended area conforms to the minimum and the maximum levels specified. This procedure may be modified when measuring dry film thickness on overcoated surfaces.

SSPC-PA Guide 4, Guide to Maintenance Repainting with Oil Base or Alkyd Painting Systems

This guide covers the steps necessary for the repainting of steel structures previously painted with oil base, alkyd, or other conventional oleoresinous paint systems with the same generic paint system as the existing one.

When special paint systems such as zinc-rich, epoxy, or urethane are involved, spot tests may be necessary and the instructions of the manufacturer should be followed.

The amount of maintenance cleaning and painting is determined by the need for corrosion protection and appearance and should be described in the procurement documents.

SSPC-PA Guide 5, Guide to Maintenance Coating of Steel Structures in Atmospheric Service

This guide covers procedures for developing a maintenance coating program for steel structures. The guide may be used for one-time recoat programs or long-range recoat programs.

The guide is intended for use primarily by owners' representatives. It is not intended to be a do-it-yourself guide, but is representative of the processes that a coating specialist, such as an SSPC Certified Protective Coatings Specialist (PCS), would follow to develop a maintenance coating plan for specific facilities.

SSPC-PA 6/NACE No. 10, Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Linings Applied to Bottoms of Carbon Ste

This joint standard document specifies procedures for designing, applying, and inspecting fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) linings for the internal bottoms of carbon steel aboveground storage tanks (ASTs).

The document provides an overview of general requirements for the successful application of FRP lining systems; definitions of terms used throughout the document; a review of materials used in FRP lining systems; the cleaning and inspection of AST bottoms prior to surface preparation and application; and applicator submission and qualification requirements.

The document states requirements for surface preparation and cleaning; the application of holding primers, caulking and coving, and laminates; wet film thickness measurement; FRP lining inspection, testing, and repair; ventilation, dehumidification, and lighting; and other related functions.

SSPC-PA 7, Applying Thin Film Coatings to Concrete

This specification covers methods and procedures for applying thin film organic coatings to concrete surfaces by brush, roller, or spray. It is not intended for coatings applied to concrete floors or similar surfaces where thick coatings or surfacings are applied by trowel or mechanical equipment.

Surface preparation, pretreatments, and selection of coatings are not covered, except where application requirements are affected, since these are discussed in referenced documents.

This specification is intended for use by owners, applicators, and others in the coating industry.

This document was prepared to meet the unique physical and chemical properties of concrete and should not be used for the coating of other substrates.

This specification is only applicable to thin-film coatings.

SSPC-PA 8/NACE No. 11, Thin-Film Organic Linings Applied in New Carbon Steel Process Vessels

This standard recommended practice specifies procedures to design, install, and inspect thin-film organic linings applied to new carbon steel process vessels to prevent corrosion and other forms of degradation, such as hydrogen-induced cracking, or to prevent product contamination. It is also useful for lining applications in existing process vessels and equipment. There is a recognized need for such a standard in order to achieve long-term durability in such applications. The standard is based on applications of organic linings 500 åm (20 mils)or less. Its concepts can be employed in the application of thicker linings but the specified procedures may be modified or not required. This recommended practice is useful for lining vessels in many industries including, but not limited to, refining, chemical, water-treating, and food. The intended users are owners, contractors, inspectors, applicators, vessel designers, protective coatings specialists, and others concerned with the lining of process vessels.

SSPC - PA 9 - Measurement of Dry Coating Thickness on Cementitious Sub

This standard describes procedures to measure the thickness of dry, homogeneous coatings applied on cementitious surfaces using commercially available ultrasonic coating thickness gages. These procedures are intended to supplement manufacturers’ operating instructions for the manual operation of the gages and are not intended to replace them.

SSPC-PA Guide 10 Guide to Safety and Health Requirements for

This guide is intended for facility owners and project specifiers who have a mandate to incorporate appropriate requirements for safety and health program submittals and associated acceptance criteria in contract documents. It also alerts contractors to their responsibilities to protect workers as required by the US. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). It also provides examples of contract language that can be incorporated into project specifications.
