1. GENERAL

1.1 INTRODUCTION
This Specification is formed by a general part in which the common requirements applicable
to all Appendixes and Enclosures are described, by 6 (six) Appendixes identified with letter
from “A” to “F“ and by the Enclosures containing the Paint Systems Sheets.
In the Appendixes are described the requirements for each specific type of structure, for
storage tanks and risers, taking into consideration the different operating temperature, for
particular application (Thermal Spray Coating) and for the qualification of the paint systems.

1.2 SCOPE
This Specification defines the minimum functional requirements related to surface
preparation, application, supply, characterisation, inspection and testing of protective and
thermal spray coatings intended to be applied to external and internal surfaces of Offshore
and Onshore structures and related components, to storage and process tanks of new
construction including surfaces under thermal insulation of carbon steel and non-ferrous
metal
This Specification is not applicable to:
a) Painting maintenance works of any plant or structure.
b) External and Internal coatings for corrosion protection of immersed and buried pipes and
related components, respectively subject of the Functional Specifications,
[Link]. Rev.0 and [Link]. Rev. 0,
c) Conversion, transformations works and new construction of FPSO, FSO,
In particular it describes the requirements for:
 Characterisation and qualification of the paint systems,
 Paint systems selection,
 Surface preparation, paint system application, equipments, qualification of personnel, etc.
 Methods and requirements for Hot Dip Galvanising,
 Thermal Spray Coating,
 Inspection and quality control,
 Safety and environmental protection
This Functional Specification is intended to be general, not prepared for a specific project.
Therefore according to the provisions of this Specification a “Project Technical Specification”
shall be prepared taking into consideration and evaluating the specific project requirements
with particular emphasis to:
 Expected design life of the structure and its components
 Operating environmental conditions of the structure and its components
 Operating temperature of the different substrates
 Any other specific project requirement.
Based on requirements of the “Project Technical Specification” the Contractor shall prepare a
“Working procedure” in which methods concerning each work and activity (e.g. abrasive
blasting, coating application, cleaning, coating system selected, inspections, etc.) shall be
described in detail.

Since the performance of the coating can be significantly affected by the quality of work
execution (e.g. surface preparation, application of various coats, procedures and inspections)
the requirements that shall be implemented during intermediate steps of coating works, are
described as well.
Before coming into force, the “Working Procedure” shall be approved by the Company.
As a general rule, recommendations and instruction listed in Product Data Sheets published
by the Paint Manufacturers shall be followed. Possible conflicts and/or discrepancies
between Products Data Sheets and this specification shall be submitted to the Company for
approval.

c) Type of support or substrate to protect
d) Operating temperature.
The paint system shall be selected in accordance with the applicable paint system Tables
reported in each Appendix and with the Paint System Sheets of the Enclosures.

2.4 PAINT SYSTEMS QUALIFICATION

2.4.1 Paint systems currently qualified

The paint systems qualified according to the procedure and requirements of the Functional
Specification [Link]. Rev. 2 are no longer valid; therefore they shall be
submitted to a new qualification process as described and required by this Specification.
Nevertheless the Company, in order to fill the gap following the issue of this Specification,
should approve, during the first year after the issue, the application of paint systems currently
qualified in accordance with the requirements of Functional Specification
[Link] Rev.2, provided that the selected Paint Manufacturer has demonstrated
the begin of the qualification process of his paint systems according to the requirements of
this Specification.

2.4.2 Paint systems qualification

Only the paints and paint systems qualified according to the requirements defined in the
Appendix “D” shall be selected and applied.
The qualification process shaIl apply to all coating materials, paints and paint systems
provided by this Specification, including the materials for repair. In the paint system sheet of
the Enclosures the tests required for paint system qualification are listed.
As a general rule, two test levels are required:
a) Pre-qualification step, addressed to evaluate all the data relevant to the proposed paint
system(s) in order to evaluate their consinstency with the general requirements of the
Specification,
b) Qualification step, addressed to the execution of characterisation tests specified for
each paint system with the scope to verify the suitability and performance for the
intended environment and service.
All tests and analysis reported in the Appendix “D” shall be performed and certified by
independent laboratories qualified and approved by the Company.
The tests and qualification analysis might be executed at Paint Manufacturer laboratories,
subject to the audit and assessment of the Company of the real capability (including
instruments, equipments and the general organisation) of the laboratory to perform the tests
required by the Appendix “D”. The Paint Manufacturer shall prepare a detailed tests schedule
in which the timing and location for sample’s preparation and test execution shall be reported;
the schedule shall be sent in advance to the Company whom besides to have free access to
Eni S.p.A. [Link]
Rev. 3 - March 2010
Exploration & Production Division

the Paint Manufacturer laboratory, reserve the right to attend during the execution of the test
without notice.
The qualification of a coating material or coating system is not binding for the Company,
which shall select, at its sole discretion, one of the paint system included in the list of qualified
paint systems.
Company’s qualification is given for an open-ended term. However the Company reserve the
right to require at any time the repetition of one or more of the qualification tests to verify the
quality of the coating or as consequence of possible coating failure. If the result of one or
more tests is negative, the qualification will be cancelled.
Any modification to the formulation or components of a coating material or system, even if
considered minor, made by the producer after the qualification, shall be notified in writing to
the Company. The Company reserves the right to require the performance of part or the
complete the test procedure, or to accept or reject the modified paint, without further tests.
The modified coating material or system - when qualified - may be used in place of the
previous one or as an alternative.
The Contractor is obliged to select one or more paint system from the list of paint systems
qualified by the Company.
Under no circumstance the Company approval of a coating system shall be considered a
guarantee from the Company related to the coating materials and repair products and they
performance, but just as an approval to use it.

2.5 DESIGN AND STEEL IMPERFECTIONS

During the design and the construction of metallic components, the basic criteria listed in
standard ISO 12944-3 shall be taken in due consideration.
As far as possible, contact of different metals shall be avoided. In case, due to the
unavoidable design requirements, the contact cannot be avoided, a suitable insulated
material (Teflon or similar) shall be installed between the different metals. This includes pipes
and related supports, bolts, clips, etc. installed in permanent or intermittent immersed areas
and on external areas
The construction shall be designed in such a way that it will not interfere with the abrasive
blasting or paint application according to this Specification. No openings, holes, etc. in
structural members shall be less than 60 mm in diameter and the distances between
structural members shall be ≥50 mm.
Welding shots, drops and spatters, pores in the weld seams, lamination defects, edges, flame
cuts, fragments and dents or any other foreign object not removed during construction shall
be considered imperfections and therefore shall be removed before surface preparation.
The steel imperfections detected before, during or after surface preparation shall be removed
with suitable power tools according to the requirements of standard ISO 8501-3 as follows:
 Grade P3: for all surfaces intended to be permanently or intermittently immersed or
buried. Edges from flame or mechanical knife cutting shall be rounded to a radius of 2
mm.
Spot and discontinue welds shall be not permitted on these surfaces.
 Grade P2: for all surfaces exposed to marine and industrial environment. Edges from
flame or mechanical knife cutting shall be adequately rounded by tree passes grinding.
Spot and discontinue welds shall be not permitted on these surfaces.
 Grade P1: for all other surfaces not exposed to aggressive environment and atmosphere.

requirements of the project shall be submitted to the Company.

7.2 SCOPE
The PFP systems are generally installed on steel support and structural elements of process
equipments, vessels and piping. Their scope is to limit, in case of fire, the steel temperature
to the value of 538°C in order to ensure the integrity of the structure. The FPP system can be
installed as well as to process vessel containing hazardous substances (e.g. GPL and
equivalent substances) to reduce the correlated specific risks such as for example the
BLEVE – FIRE BALL and resulting domino effects.
The factors that shall be considered for the selection of the proper PFP systems are as
follows:
Eni S.p.A. [Link]
Rev. 3 - March 2010
Exploration & Production Division
Page 22 of 30

1) Load and risk of fire (quantity of hydrocarbon, temperature, volatility and leakage
probability);

3) Containment and disposal of possible hydrocarbon leakages from the source;
4) Automated shutdown systems of the plant and/or unit;
5) Interception remote control systems and/or discharge and emergency ventilation of
equipments;
6) Lay out of the units, equipments and structures;
7) Equipments’ accessibility (obstruction, irradiations, smokes);
8) Response time in emergency situations of the plant’s personnel and firefighting team;
9) Density of cooling water used in fixed and or portable extinguishing systems;
10) Reliability and redundancy of firefighting systems ;
11) Availability over the time of water supply;
12) Particular risks, e.g. radioactive sources, substances and materials reacting with water,
water-soluble materials, etc.

As general rule the PFP material shall consist of an intumescent epoxy mastic reinforced with
hybrid carbon and glass fibre.
The PFP system shall be tested at recognised independent laboratory with proven
experience in standards and tests related to hydrocarbon fire.
Before any type of PFP system application the “Type Approval” certificate issued by
competent authority, shall be submitted to the Company.
Furthermore, the materials shall be tested and pre-qualified by independent laboratories
according to the following procedures and standards:
a) NORSOK M-501 Rev. 4 or 5 (System 5a), tested without topcoat. Where these systems
are applied directly to the process equipments substrate, only primer systems pre-
qualified under System 5a of standard NORSOK M-501 Rev. 4 or 5 will be accepted.
b) Underwriter Laboratories (UL) Environmental Test Program and provide written
confirmation that products are subject to the “UL Follow Up programme.
c) Documented evidence that the intumescent materials, at saturation, shall not exceed 4%
water absorption after 90 days of immersion.
The PFP system shall be compatible with the application of top coat as specified by the
Company.
The PFP system is required to be suitable for application to exposed surfaces of structural
elements, vessel, piping, valves, actuators, flange etc. and shall be appropriate for
continuous service in the following conditions:
Eni S.p.A. [Link]
Rev. 3 - March 2010
Exploration & Production Division
Page 23 of 30

 Humidity: up to 100% in highly saliferous conditions, average value 82%,

 Fire deluge: deluge with seawater from the fire protection system with an application rate
of up to 20.4 l/m²/min.
The PFP system shall be unaffected by exposure to water (water deluge and/or fire water
hoses). It shall also be resistant to general chemical and hydrocarbon damage should the
material accidentally come into contact with these substances.

7.4.2 Approvals and certifications

The PFP system shall be supplied with Third Party issued “Type and Fire” certificates only;
reports, project specific testing may only be allowed with the Company’s approval provided in
accordance with API RP 14G. Therefore Contractor shall provide the data required and
obtain a certificate of conformity.
All certificates shall be appropriate for the specific application identified. In particular the
certificates of “Type Approval” must be provided for the following:
 “Type Approval” certificates appropriate to type of structure or item being protected.
 “Type Approval” certificates for the appropriate type of fire the PFP system is expected to
withstand (hydrocarbon pool fire, Jet Fire or combination of both) detailing additional
thickness required to withstand the effects of jet fire.
 In the case of Jet Fire Contractor shall produce approval to the standard ISO 22899-1.
Furthermore Contractor shall demonstrate in writing the material erosion factor required

Specification and Approved by the Company.

[Link] Tests for hydrocarbon pool fires

Hydrocarbon pool fires are defined as a turbulent diffusion fire burning on a pool of liquid
involuntarily spilt on to an open surfaces and collected on flooring proof surfaces both on the
ground and on upper level or into restricted surfaces of the same level. The PFP systems
shall be tested and certified according to standard ISO 834-3.

[Link] Test for jet fires

The liquefied gasses under pressure do not normally form liquid pools as a result of
accidental release but they disperse as a jet of liquid aerosol or vapour. This type of releases
unlikely leads to liquid pools. Similarly the vapour releases disperse like jets. The trigger of a
liquid aerosol or of vapour jet can lead to a jet fire with high radiation intensity. The flames
length and width of the jet vary according to the upstream pressure of the release, the size
and geometry of the hole as well as the wind speed if present.
Additionally, the velocity and turbulence of the jet may be highly erosive on certain PFP
system. These effects may lead to rapid and intense localised damages and subsequent
knock-on effects such as structural collapse, loss of containment and escalation.
Although all hydrocarbon fires produce a high heat flux, overall, the jet fire has potentially the
greatest impact due to the combined heat fluxes and erosive effects. Therefore it represents
the most severe fire scenario that a PFP system could be required to resist.
The PFP system shall be tested and approved in accordance with standard ISO 22899-1 and
OTI 95 634.

7.4.3 Surface preparation

2. PRE-QUALIFICATION AND QUALIFICATION PROCEDURE

2.1 GENERAL
Qualification requirements shall apply to all coating materials and paint systems provided by
the Specification. In the section “Specific Requirements” of each Paint System Sheet the
qualification tests required for the specific paint system are listed.
The Paint Manufacturer shall arrange, at its own expenses, all tests required by this
Appendix. The tests shall be performed and documented by independent laboratory, qualified
and approved by the Company. The Company reserve the right to attend and inspect the
tests execution.
The qualification of a coating material or coating system is not binding for the Company,
which shall select, at its sole discretion, coatings that are added to the qualified coatings list.
The qualification of a defined paint system is not binding for the Company that could select,
at its discretion, one of the paint systems included in the list of Company’s approved paint
system list.
The Company’s qualification is given for an open-ended term. However the Company reserve
the right to require at any time the repetition of one or more of the qualification tests in order
to verify the quality of the coating or as consequence of possible coating failure. If the result
of one or more tests is negative, the qualification will be cancelled.
Any modification, even if considered minor, to the formulation or components of a coating
material or of a coating system already qualified by the Company, shall be notified in writing
to the Company. The Company reserves the right to require the performance of part or all of
the tests, or to accept or reject the modified product, without further tests. The modified
coating material or system - when qualified - may be used in place of the previous one or as
an alternative.
Under no circumstance the Company approval of a coating system shall be considered a
guarantee from the Company related to the coating materials and repair products and they
performance, but just an approval to use it.

5.3 SEALER AND TOPCOAT APPLICATION

The TSC shall be sealed and/or, if necessary topcoated in the following circumstances:
 The environment in which the component and/or structure will be located is very acid or
very alkaline (normal pH for pure zinc in the range of 6 - 12 and 4 – 11 for pure
aluminium).
 If the component and/or structure is located or will be located in environments with
frequent saltwater spray, splash, permanently or intermittently immersed in sea water,
 If the component and/or structure is located or will be located in environments with
frequent fresh water spray, splash, permanently or intermittently immersed in fresh
water, excluding potable water,
 The TSC is subject to direct contact with specific chemicals.
 A cosmetic finishing is required,
 An additional abrasion resistance is required.
The sealer shall be thinned enough to penetrate in the profile of the TSC and able to seal the
surface porosity.
Due to TSC’s porosity, it will be not possible to measure the thickness of the sealer.
Therefore it will be necessary to calculate in advance the amount of paint necessary, based
on the area intended to be coated and the theoretical spreading rate of the paint (Volume
Area Control. The sealer coat shall be applied at NDFT of 40 µm.
The application of sealer should be done as soon as possible after thermal spraying and in
any case within eight (8) hours.
If the sealer cannot be applied within the eight hours, it shall be verified by visual inspection
using if necessary a x10 magnifier, that the TSC has been not contaminated and it is free of
dust according to Class 1 of the standard ISO 8502-3
For the components and/or structures with service temperature above 110°C, a heat-resistant
silicon sealer shall be applied.

5.4 COATING THICKNESS

The measurement of DFT, including calibration and acceptance criteria, shall be performed
according to standard ISO 19840. For the measurement the “90/10” rule shall be
implemented, namely 90% of all measurements shall be greater than or equal to the NDFT
and none of the remaining 10% measurements shall be below the 90% of NDFT.
Eni S.p.A. [Link]

type of material applied, in particular:
 Zinc:  4 MPa
 Aluminium:  7 MPa
 Alloy Zinc/Aluminium 85/15:  5 MPa
The TSC tensile bond shall be measured according to standard D 4541 using a “Type III”
self-aligning adhesion tester.

5.6 BEND TEST

The bend test shall be performed at the start of each shift. For this purpose five (5) carbon
steel panels of dimensions 50 x 200 x 1,5 mm shall be used.
The test panels shall be abrasive blasted and sprayed as follows:
a) Abrasive blasting as per specified standard
b) TSC application at 200-250 µm with cross passes of 75 - 100 µm each,
c) The panels shall be bent using a mandrel with the following diameter:
 13 mm for DFT  250 µm
 16 mm for DFT  380µm
 < 25 mm for DFT  640 µm
d) The test shall be considered passed if no cracking or spalling or minor cracking which
cannot be lifted from the substrate with a knife blade, are detected on the panels.

5.7 REPAIRS OF DEFECTS

The Contractor shall repair all coating defects and damages that will be noticed during the
testing and inspection.
The coating considered not in line with the requirement described in the items “Inspections
