1.0 PURPOSE
1.1.
1.2.
This procedure describes guidelines to carry out tape coating of UG piping at IOCL PANIPAT REFINERY MSQ UPGRADATION PROJECT. In case of conflict between this procedure and contract specification, the latter shall govern.
As per Jacobs spec. No. 3177-LSS-109 AWWA C-203 Coal tar protective coating lining to steel carbon pipeline SSPC-SP10 steel structure Painting council, surface preparation specification ASTM G8 test method for cathodic disbanding of pipeline coating 3.0 MATERIALS:
3.1. 3.2.
Protective tapes and other materials brought to site shall be as per specification. Manufacturers test certificates shall be submitted for review prior to use. The primer shall be type B as specified in AWWA C-203. Field and laboratory test shall be carried out for each batch of primer & tape. Primer and tape shall be supplied by the same manufacturer. 4.0 PROCEDURE:
3.3.
3.4. 3.5.
4.1. 4.1.1.
SURFACE PREPARATION:
Prior to blast cleaning, all oil, grease on the pipe surface shall be thoroughly removed by flushing with suitable solvent as per SSPC SP-1 and wiping with clean tags. Degreased pipe metal surface shall be shot/grit blast cleaned to SSPC-SP-10 or Sa 2 of SIS-05-5900. This cleaning operation shall be followed immediately with priming by spraying / brush.

4.1.2. 4.1.3.
Blast cleaned surface shall be adequately scrubbed manually with stiff wire brush where ever blasted surface get rusted, prior to application of primer. All weld joints shall be cleaned manually with stiff wire brush/buffing wheel after assembly and welding, prior to priming.
4.2.
PRIMING:
4.2.1.
4.2.2.
Immediately after girt blasting the surface shall be applied with fast drying unmodified pure chlorinated rubber based coal tar synthetic primer. Second coat of primer to be applied before application of coal tar enamel. The entire surface of pipe should be primed. No specific time gap between two coats of primer needs to be maintained but after the second coat of primer, the enamel coating should before the primer is completely hardened.
4.3.
PREPARATION OF COATING MATERIAL: The metal drums that shall be cropped or cut on suitable platform to prevent the enamel coming in contact with wooden cinders, grass and other forms of contamination. The enamel shall be confirmed to Type-I or Type-II coal tar enamel as per AWWA C-203. The cropped out pieces if enamel may not Wight more then 10 kgs. The broken pieces shall be placed in a clean melting kettle which is made of heavy duty, MS sheet in form of closed vessel. To maintain uniform coverage of material required quantity of enamel is heated in the kettle with temperature range of 2300C to 2400C. Temperature of enamel can be checked by dipping thermometer in the enamel. Thermometer shall be used in heating kettle in a such way so as read the temperature clearly. The thermometer shall have temperature range up to 3000C.

4.4.
4.4.1.
The pipe shall be kept rotating on a machine having circumferential and linear motions, while the pipes are in rotating condition, pour the hot cold enamel manually and spread uniformly with the help of rubber brushes.
4.4.2.
Simultaneously, one wrap of glass fibre tissue having properties as stated in Jacobs specification shall be applied over the molten coal tar enamel. Initially, the wrap is held with hand and pressed over the molten enamel. There after the revolving pipe puffs the fiber warp from the reel, which ensures continuous wrapping over the molten enamel with required overlap (i.e. 13 mm).
4.4.3.
4.4.4.
Second coat of coal tar enamel as well as glass fiber tissue paper shall be applied as per above procedure. Third coat of molten coal tar enamel shall be applied next. Final outer wrap of impregnated fibre felt shall be applied immediately over third coat of coal tar enamel, similar to inner wrap application. The overlap at edges of all wrappings should be minimum 13 mm. the coating shall be continuous for the full length of the pipe except 200 mm at both ends of the pipes. Finally, carry out whit wash with Acrylic water emulsion Latex Paint Material. This application will be carried out manually by paintbrushes. There after the pipes is lifted by suitable methods and allowed to dry on wooden sleepers.
5.0 INSPECTION:
5.1.
All stage inspection & documentation shall be carried out as per Format No. LT/MSQ/TC/020, Rev.00 Profile gauge/comparator, for checking surface preparation as per SA 2 , shall be made available.
5.2.
After application of tape coating, visual inspection shall be carried out for uniformity without any wrinkle, irregularities and overlapping width.

5.3. 5.4.
Thickness of the coal tar enamel coating shall be measured with the digital thickness gauge. Minimal acceptable thickness shall be 4.5mm. All coated and wrapped pipes shall be tested with the positive signalling device to indicate any fault, holes, breaks or conductive particles in the protective coating. The test voltage shall be 13 KV.
5.5.
Peel test shall be conducted at temperature from 10C to 25C per AWWA-203 methods. Acceptable criteria shall be as per AWWA-203.
6.0 REPAIR: Wherever any holiday is observed or any defective work is found, remove the wrapping and coating to the required extend from those areas by using a sharp knife. Then heated enamel shall be applied manually over the area following the procedure described above and inner and outer wrap applied. Holidays test shall repeated for the portion.
