Personnel involved in protective coating activities has been qualified and SAEP-316,
A2
certified to perfom their task. Para. 5.1
APCS-113A coatings are used on new construction to:
(1) repair damaged FBE
(2) coat already cement lined pipe.
(3) coat short runs of pipe (60 meters or less) that will not require SAES-H-002,
subsequent bending. Para. 5.4.1
A3 (4) Top coat for Thrust bored pipes. CSD/Coatings Team shall confirm Para. 5.4.2
if applied APCS-113A has adequate abrasion resistance. Para. 5.1.12
APCS-113B Coatings are used for the external of buried pipes, fittings SAES-H-002,
A4 and appurtenances, particularly those with exposed bolts or sharp APCS-113B,
changes in surface transition. Sheet
APCS-113E are used on new construction:
SAES-H-002,
(1) For girth welds of pipes to be thrust bored
Para. 5.4.4
A5 (2) As fast Cure, Abrasion Resistance Coating for Thrust Boring Pipes in
APCS-113E
Road Crossing
Sheet
APCS-113F can be used on girth weld areas of pipeline, applied by
automatic rotational equipment. SAES-H-002,
A6
Para. 5.4.2
B Weather Conditions for Painting
Paint shall not be applied during adverse weather conditions such as, but
not restricted to following:
1) Wind is strong enough to blow sand, salt spray or other
foreign matter onto the surface being painted. SAES-H-001 Para
B1
2) Wind is 6.1.1
strong enough to cause dry spay or otherwise seriously
disturb the spray pattern when application is by spray gun.
3) Rain

Paint shall not be applied if one or more of the following conditions exist
(unless paint is specifically formulated for averted condition):
a) Substrate temperature is less than 10°C of the temperature
limit given in the applicable Saudi Aramco Data Sheet SAES-H-001 Para
B2
b) Substrate temperature is more than the temperature limit 6.1.1
given in the applicable Saudi Aramco Data Sheet.
c) Substrate temperature is less than 3°C above the dew point.
Blast cleaned surfaces has been inspected for flash rusting prior to
priming or coating. SAES-H-001,
B3 Note: Flash rusting can occur on blast cleaned surfaces if held for Para 8.4.3
more than 4 hours, in less time during high humidity.
C Spray Application Requirements
All weld lines, edges, bolts, nuts and rivets are given brush applied stripe SAES-H-001,
C1
coat prior to all coating applications. Para. 9.3.2
Only airless spraying equipment with higher ratio pumps (45:1 or higher) SAES-H-001,
C2
shall be used. Para. 9.5.3
SAES-H-002V,
Coating nozzle tip size and fluid pressure are verified to be as specified in
C3 Paint
Saudi Aramco Paint Data sheets SAES-H-002V .
Data Sheets
Paints to be sprayed are filtered through a 30 to 60-mesh screen prior to SAES-H-001,
C4
use. Para 9.3.7
Paints shall be continuously agitated with a low-speed stirrer during SAES-H-001,
C5
application. Para 9.3.7
Proper spraying techniques and control of spray pattern are
demonstrated during paint application as follows:
A) Spray Gun is held perpendicular to surface at a distance that will
ensure that a wet layer of paint is deposited on the surface.
SAEP-316
B) Trigger of the gun is released at the end of each stroke.
Para.
C) Paint is applied in a uniform layer with over lapping at the edges of the
C6 4.4.4 (J) &
spray pattern.
As Referenced
Note 1: Spray application techniques per SSPC-PA 1 Par 7.3.4
(SSPC)
Note 2: Inspectors shall identify poor technique that results in any of
the unacceptable application defects (runs, sags, drips, etc)
Note 3: Corrective action shall be accepted when applications can
be performed without defects in accordance with Data sheets.
Coating shall be applied in a single coat "Wet-On-Wet" method to
achieve the required film thickness. SAES-H-001
Application of succeeding coats shall be made with in recoat interval time Para 9.4.3
C7
as specified in SA Data sheets. Beyond the the recoat interval time, the SAES-H-002V
succeeding coats can be applied after removing the gloss surface Paint Data Sheet
resulting from previous coat.
D Brush / Roller Application
Brush / Roller are used when allowed by the paint manufacturer or as SAES-H-002V,
D1
indicated in the paint manufacturer's data sheet. SA Data Sheet
SAES-H-001 Para
D2 The maximum brush size if used for painting is 125 mm.
9.3.6
E Final Wet Coat Inspection
Wet coating shall be free of application related defects such as runs, sags, SAES-H-001,
E1
drips or foreign matter. Para 9.3.5 b
