A General Requirements
Application of girth weld coatings shall be strictly in accordance with the
approved Vendor’s application procedure. Coating materials and SAES-H-201,
A1
method of application and equipment to be used shall be specified in Para. 8.1.1
this procedure.
Powder/liquid coating materials supplied to the Vendor shall be certified
by Manufacturer with the following information, which must meet initially
approved material:
a) The Manufacturer's name
b) Product description
SAES-H-201,
c) Mass or density of material
A2 Section 6.9
d) The material identification number
& Section 4
e) The batch number
f) Date of manufacture
g) Location of manufacturing
h) Temperature required for transportation and storage
i) The shelf life (or expiration date)
j) Material identification fingerprints
The finished coating shall have a uniform, glossy appearance and be
free of defects such as holidays, fish eyes, lumps, dry spray, sags and
SAES-H-201,
runs. Coating overlap shall be within the thickness specified in 09-
A3
SAMSS-089 for external and 09-SAMSS-091 for internal. DFT for liquid
Para. 9.2.5
girth weld coatings shall be in accordance with the applicable APCS
specification.
A PPT shall be conducted at the start of each shift to verify the correct
functioning of the used equipment. The PPT shall be conducted on a
spool similar to the pipes to be coated. The following tests in tables 2
SAES-H-201,
and 3 shall beconducted by the Vendor and the results shall be shared
A4 Para. 8.1.6
with Saudi Aramco inspector.
Tests in SAES-H-201, tables 2 and 3 shall be conducted by the Vendor
and the result shall be shared with Saudi Aramco inspector.
SAES-H-201,
Surface preparation shall be done by the Contractor, unless otherwise
Para. 8.2.5
specified in the scope of work. Pipe bung shall be used to protect shop-
A5 &
applied pipe coating.

Minimum ID for 12" Dia. Pipe: __________________
For welds that require post weld heat treatment (PWHT), coatings on
both Internal and External welds shall be applied after PWHT.
Demonstration shall be conducted prior to actual work to determine the SAES-H-201
B2
required internal and external cutback after the completion of PWHT. If Para. 8.1.2
the cutback is exceeding 280 mm, only approved liquid coating can be
used for the internal girth weld.
Prior to blast cleaning, all hydrocarbon contaminants within a 500 mm
wide band centered over the weld shall be removed from the pipe by
solvent cleaning per SSPC SP-1. Kerosene, diesel, or similar
SAES-H-201
B3 degreasers that leave an oily film shall not be used. For internal girth
Para. 8.2.1
weld, it should be done by the Contractor, unless otherwise specified in
the scope of work. The responsibilities of Contractor and Vendor for
internal girth weld coating are summarized in Table 4.
All weld joints including adjacent areas to be coated either Internally or
Externally shall be ground smooth and free from burrs, weld spatter,
sharp edges. Weld toes shall be merged smoothly and rounded with no
sharp undercuts. The weld cap or internal root protrusion shall not be SAES-H-201
B4
more than 1.5 mm. Still, weld curve shall be smooth enough for coating Para. 8.2.2
application regardless of protrusion eight. Increasing coating thickness
shall not be used to overcome
such defects.
The maximum length of the coating field application is limited by the
total length of the cutback, 50-75 millimeters (2-3 inches), plus a
SAES-H-201,
B5 reasonable overlap, 1-2 inches, to tie in with the parent FBE coating. In
Para. 8.1.4
the case of PWHT, demonstration shall be conducted to determine the
required length.
Field weld number is marked inside of the pipe at 12" (300mm) from the
Approved Coating
B6 field joint.
Procedure
This unique ID is per the SAEP-1160 Reqmts
C Visual Inspection & Inside Surface Preparation verified as specified in Approved Procedure
Abrasive blasting shall be carried out only when the steel surface is at SAES-H-001,
C1
least 3°C above the Dew Point. Para. 6.4.3
Surface preparation shall be done by the Contractor, unless otherwise SAES-H-201,
C2
specified in the scope of work. Pipe bung shall be used to protect shop- Para. 8.2.5
applied pipe coating.
Quality of compressed air used for blasting is checked at the start and
SAES-H-001
C3 mid point of 8 hour shift by blotter test. It shall be free of oil , moisture

and other contaminants.
The gloss shall be feathered out from the shop-applied FBE pipe
coating that will be overlapped by the field coating by light abrasive SAES-H-201,

(sweep) blasting or sanding. Wire brushes shall not be used for this Para. 8.2.6
purpose.
The surface profile shall be measured by a stylus profilometer. Rz shall SAES-H-201,
