1 Preface
1.1 Background
This Specification SP-1246 covers the minimum requirements for protective painting and coating systems, materials and
application methods for the internal and external surface of steel structures and equipment within the oil and gas
production facilities.
Relevant structures and equipment include aboveground and buried onshore tanks, vessels, in-station pipework, buried
sections of above ground flowlines and pipelines, structural steel, electrical and mechanical equipment. For further
information on buried sections of above ground flowlines and pipelines refer to GU-368.
Whilst the Specification is directed predominantly at protection of onshore oil and gas installations, it also covers external
protective coating of marine facilities such as jetties, mooring buoys, barges and launches.
Internal surfaces of pumps, valves and other mechanical equipment requiring special protective treatments are not dealt
with in this Specification. For guidance on this contact UER/CFDH Materials and Corrosion.
The coating of new pipelines and existing pipelines requiring rehabilitation are covered in the following alternative
specifications and procedures.

PR-1180 Procedure for Qualification of Pipeline Rehabilitation Coating Systems
DEP 31.40.30.31-Gen. Technical Specification for External Polyethylene and Polypropylene Coating for Line Pipe
DEP 31.40.30.32-Gen. Technical Specification for External Fusion-bonded Epoxy Powder Coating for Line Pipe
DEP 31.40.30.37-Gen External Field Joint And Rehabilitation Coatings System For Line Pipe .
1.2 Applicability
All coating work shall be carried out in accordance with this Specification. If a variance is required then approval in
writing from the Custodian UER/CFDH Materials and Corrosion is required.
This specification does not apply to concrete structures. For concrete structures in corrosive environment consult
UER/CFDH Materials and Corrosion.
This is Part 1 of a five part Specification and must be read in conjunction with Parts 1,2, 3, and 4.
PART 1 specifies technical and related requirements. This Part includes performance tests and acceptance criteria for
assessing the acceptability of paint/coating/lining systems for each service specified in Parts 2 and 3.
PART 2 contains recommended protective coating systems for the following categories with respect to new construction
painting/coating activities:
- External surfaces of carbon steel structures, piping and equipment, onshore and marine
- External surfaces of buried carbon steel structures, piping and buried sections of above ground flowlines and
pipelines. (Except Class I and Class II pipelines)
- Specialist applications
This Part also gives descriptions of the generic types of paint used for new construction projects. The descriptions apply
equally to the maintenance paint systems presented in Part 3.
Protective coatings for new pipelines based on Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP) or Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) are
not covered in this Specification but the general good practices described in this part are equally applicable to the coating
of line pipe..
PART 3 contains recommended Maintenance Coating Systems for the following categories with respect to location and
painting/coating activities and inspection of old coatings:
- External coatings on carbon steel structures, piping and equipment, onshore and marine
- External surfaces of buried carbon steel structures, piping, flowlines and pipelines including Class I and
Class II pipelines.
PART 4 contains the detailed requirements for surface preparation and application of coatings to the categories stated in
Parts 2 and 3. This Part contains HSE advice and general inspection requirements.
PART 5 Contains the list of approved coating systems and is a live document that will be updated by UER.
New Projects
PARTS 1, 2 and 4 apply in their entirety to new projects where painting and coating activities are carried out at site or in
the shop.
For painting and coating of package items, carried out prior to delivery to site or to existing facilities, the requirements,
stated in PARTS 1 and 4, apply in their entirety, whilst those of PART 2 apply where applicable.
Maintenance
Where maintenance painting is to be done, PDO’s technical requirements are stated in PART 1 and those sections of
PART 3 and 4 as appropriate, dependent upon the Scope of Work.
This specification uses and requires the use of the International System (SI) units of measurement in all documentation.
Paint film thickness are expressed in microns, 1micron is 0.001mm.
The following Table 1 summaries the selection of recommended coating systems, identified as PCS-1 to PCS-12, for the
various structures, locations and service conditions.
