3.1.1 Checking points at each stage
1) Inspection for surface preparation (Blasting and power tooling)
NO

Check-point

Secondary surface
prepared condition

ISO Sa2.5 or ISO Sa2 ISO St3 or ISO St2

Oil, Grease

- Not to find any oil or grease when

hand/rag is polished it. - Not to show up
contaminated oily parts with naked eyes

Grit, Foreign matters

To remove grit and foreign matters

Welding
spatters
and steel lamination

Inspection basis

-To remove irregular angle/angle sharp

spatters
-To remove steel lamination

Re-rusted
and
Miss-surface
preparation spots

- Not to turn into reddish black an steel

surface preparation - Not to omit secondary surface preparation welding lines, inside of angle stiffener and the edge of
holes which are difficult surface preparation

Zinc salt treatment

-To remove same white sedimentation on

exposed shop primed surface. However,
the tracing is allowable after removed zinc
salt

Welding fume

-Not to find any fume when hand/rag is

polished it -To do treatment the spot with
sand papering

Stripe
coated
Welding lines with
zinc primer

-To remove zinc stripe coated welding lines

during secondary surface reparation

Marking with chalk

-Not to find any chalk when hand/rah is

polished it

Cleaning condition

- To make good condition before painting

Balance between
dew point and steel
temperature

As per the drawing of paint specification

Remark
As per Paint specification

2) Subsequent painting inspection

NO

Check-point

Inspection basis

Drying condition for

painted film

-Not to show push-up painted film when

thumb is fiercely twisted on painted film
-Not to find when feet is trodden on painted
film

Strip coat condition

- To cover under coat and stripe coat constantly without omission

Re-coat
interval
(Min/Max.)

As per Paint Maker's recommendation

Cleaning/Foreign
matters Condition

To remove foreign matters and spray dust

Low DFT
Holidays

Low DFT is based on the drawing of Paint

specification and is not found holidays

AND

Sagging and Exceeding DFT

- Severe sagging is repaired with sand papering in order to make it smooth surface.
However, sagging of various hole, collar
plate, scallop, etc. are not repaired with
Paint Maker's recommendation when
Builder is stripe coated for the edges.
- Exceeding DFT than Paint Maker's recommendation is repaired with sand papering

Checking for Relative Humidity

Below 85%

Balance between
Steel temperature
and dew point

Above-3

Remark

3) Dry film thickness and Final inspection

NO

Checkpoint

Inspection-basis

Drying condition for

paintedfilm

-Not to show push-up painted film

Damaged
areas
and touch up condition

- All of damaged areas must be repaired No specified DFT for touch up are must be
repaired as per Paint specification

Sagging, Pinhole,
and
Exceeding
DFT

- Not to find sagging, pinhole (however,

sagging of various hole, are not repaired
with paint Maker's recommendation when
Builder is stripe coated for the edge.
- Exceeding DFT than Paint Maker's recommendation is repaired with sand papering

Cleaning condition

- Not to find 'foot-mark' and foreign matters

of painted film -To be clean condition thoroughly

3.1.3 STANDARD FOR COATING

1) FILM THICKNESS MEASUREMENT
Item

Process standard

Remark

General

Dry film thickness to be measured after completion of specified coating

Outside shell

Dry film thickness to be measured after completion of specified coating dry film thickness of
ant-fouling paint which is not practicable to check
the D.F.T to be controlled by volume

Specified D.F.T

D.F.T to be specified as average. D.F.T of all

measuring point shall be attained at least 85% of
the specified D.F.T

150mm width from

edge of structural
members, welding
beads and surface
outfits, etc

No measurement to be made

Instruments
