The total dry film thickness in the overlap area between the girth weld coating and the adjacent coating shall not exceed 1250 microns. 8.2.1.1 For pipes with diameters less than 24" and/or too small to access the girth weld area, the Vendor shall submit his proposed procedure for controlling the DFT to the RSA for written approval, which must be obtained prior to commencing coating application. The girth weld coating is not required to meet the acceptance criterion in paragraph 10.7, Bend Test.
8.2.1.2 8.2.2
Custom coated pieces shall have a nominal DFT of 625 micrometers. The minimum DFT shall be 375 microns and the maximum DFT on the coating overlap area shall be 1250 microns, inclusive of girth welds and repair areas larger than 645 mm (see paragraph 10.6.8.). Within 15 cm from a butt-welding end, the maximum DFT shall be 625 microns to allow field coating of the girth weld without exceeding 1250 microns DFT in the coating overlap area.
8.3
Line pipe and ancillary piping products for subsequent welding shall have a cutback at each end in the range of 50 to 75 mm measured from the end of pipe unless otherwise specified. In the case of fittings 6" diameter or less, the cutback range of 25 to 50 mm. The internal root reinforcement shall be 2.5 mm or less, as per SAES-W-012, paragraph 16.6.5.

Page 9 of 19
each production run. The Vendor shall provide the Buyer's Representative with a detailed time schedule to allow him to witness or monitor all processing and testing phases. 10.2 Responsibility for Inspection 10.2.1 The Vendor shall be responsible for all quality control checking including visual inspection, thickness measurements, and holiday testing, and shall keep records on the results of all such inspections in a form suitable to the Buyer's Representative. Pipe coated in accordance with this specification is subject to verification by the Buyer's Representative per Saudi Aramco Form 175-091300, "Inspection Requirements", attached to the Purchase Order. The Buyer's Representative shall have access to each part of the process, and shall have the right to witness the quality control tests and/or perform tests by himself on a random sampling basis. The Buyer's Representative shall have the right to halt the application requesting alterations or corrections to the process in order to correct all faults found in the work, which conforms to this specification.
Commentary Note: Quality control on custom coated pieces (including valves) has proven to be difficult. For applications where internal coating failures could have serious operational impact, the Proponent should consider providing his own (or third-party) full-time inspection coverage in addition to the requirements of this specification.
10.2.2
10.2.3
10.3
Visual Inspection The internal surfaces being coated shall be inspected visually at each stage of the operation, using suitable illumination and inspection tools with sufficient frequency to ensure full compliance with the requirements of this specification.
10.4
Thickness Test Every pipe and fitting shall be checked in accordance with SSPC PA 2 at each end using a non-destructive type of thickness gauge which has been calibrated as required in paragraph 10.9.1. All results shall be as specified in paragraph 8.2 and shall be recorded.
10.5
Adhesion Test 10.5.1 General Requirements
Page 10 of 19
10.5.1.1
For pipe, determine the adhesion of the coating at one location for each of the following cases: a) b) c) The first production joint, The first joint after any interruption in production, and Once every hour or every twenty pipe lengths, whichever is more frequent.
If 3 tests have been successful, the test frequency may be reduced to once every 2 hours or 50 pipe lengths. 10.5.1.2 10.5.1.3 For custom coated pieces test one sample per production lot. Failure of the adhesion test shall require lot narrowing by testing the pipes or fittings until three in a row (coated both before and after the piece that failed) show satisfactory adhesion. A lot is defined as one shift's production, except in the case of custom coated pieces where a lot is defined as any number of pieces processed through the custom coating oven at the same time. The weld cutback on selected pipe lengths or fittings (see paragraph 8.3) shall be left partly unmasked to facilitate the adhesion test. The unmasked area shall be cleaned of coating following the test. Where this procedure is not practical, the test may be conducted on a selected area of the coating, and the test area be repaired in accordance with paragraph 12 of this specification.
10.5.1.4
10.5.2
Adhesion Test Procedure 10.5.2.1 With a sharp, narrow bladed knife, two incisions (approximately 13 mm long) shall be made, in the form of an X, through to the metal substrate. At the intersection of the X, an attempt shall be made to force the coating from the steel substrate with the knife point. The point of the knife shall be inserted horizontally i.e., the flat of the blade under the coating at the point of intersection of the X such that the blade point is on the metal surface. Using a levering action, the flat point shall be forced away from the steel in an attempt to pry off the coating. Refusal of the coating to disband from the substrate shall be recorded as a "pass". A "pass" shall also
Page 11 of 19
10.5.2.2
be recorded where the coating fails cohesively. Partial or complete adhesive failure between the coating and the substrate shall be recorded as a failure. Disbondment at the point of the intersection is common due to the action of marking the 'X' cut. Therefore, for 1 mm away from the tip of the intersection any disbondment shall be ignored. 10.5.2.3 The pipe shall be allowed to cool to below 80C prior to conducting the adhesion test. Failure of the test shall require each piece coated on that day to be subjected to the test until a total of three tests in a row (three done both before and after the piece which failed) are satisfactory.
10.6
Holiday Detection 10.6.1 100% of the internally coated surface area of the pipe shall be tested with a hot spark, pulse-type DC holiday detector employing an audible signaling device. The electrode used for locating holidays shall be designed to ensure direct contact with the coating (with no visible gaps). Travel rate of the detector electrode shall not exceed 75 cm/sec. The electrode shall not be allowed to remain stationary while the power is on. The holiday test voltage of the hot spark detector shall be 125 volts DC per 25 micrometers of maximum coating thickness. However, to eliminate the need for continual adjustment during shop production, a maximum voltage of 2200 volts 50 volts shall be used for coating thickness in the range from 375 to 625 micrometers and a maximum voltage of 1300 volts 50 volts shall be used for coating thickness in the range from 225 to 475 micrometers. All holidays in pipe coated above 24" diameter shall be repaired. The maximum number allowed for repair is 20 holidays. They shall be holiday free when re-tested after repair in accordance with paragraph 12.3. If the number is excessive than 20 holidays, the pipe joint shall be rejected. The number of holidays in a pipe joint with diameters up to 20" shall be permitted a maximum of 4 holidays per 12.2 m length. Repair if these holidays are accessible, otherwise leave them unrepaired and inform the Buyer's representative and log it in the quality control document.
10.6.2
10.6.3
10.6.4
10.6.5
Page 12 of 19
10.6.6
Internal girth weld coatings on the double-joints pipe shall be tested in accordance with the following: 10.6.6.1 Pipe diameters equal and greater than 24": All holidays shall be repaired. The coating on the girth weld area shall be holiday free when tested in accordance with paragraph 12.3. There is no limitation on the number of holidays that can be repaired (see paragraph 12.4). Pipe diameters less than 24", but large enough to allow visual inspection of the girth weld area coating by remote controlled crawling equipment; holiday(s) shall be marked and repaired. Otherwise, the coating shall be rejected. Pipe diameters too small (less than 6") to allow visual inspection of the girth weld area coating: The holiday test shall be made and the presence of holiday(s) shall be recorded for information purposes only.
10.6.6.2
10.6.6.3
10.6.7 10.6.8
Custom coated fittings shall be free of holidays when tested in accordance with paragraph 10.6 of this specification. The total dry film thickness of coating in repaired areas shall not exceed 1250 microns for repair areas exceeding 645 mm and 1875 microns for repair areas less than or equal to 645 mm.
10.7
Bend Test 10.7.1 Once per shift (or, for pipe, every one hundred pipe lengths, whichever is the more frequent) and at the start of using a new batch of powder the flexibility of the coating shall be determined by a bend test. The powder utilized for the test shall be taken from the plant application fluidizing bed. Two test bars measuring approximately 25 mm x 192 mm x 9.5 mm shall be coated at a dry film thickness of 475 - 575 micrometers. The coating thickness shall be measured at 5 locations 25 mm apart on each sample, and the thickness recorded. The average of these readings shall fall in the range in paragraph 10.7.2. The test bars shall be holiday detected in accordance with paragraph 10.7.7 of this specification, and all holidays marked and recorded. The specimens shall be at three different temperatures 5, 10, and 25C 3C when clamped in the bender with the coated side up. The
Page 13 of 19
10.7.2 10.7.3
10.7.4 10.7.5
specimens shall be bent flat wise at 60 degrees over a 25.4 mm thick shoe of the following dimensions: Shoe radius Chord Arc 10.7.6 10.7.7 95.2 mm 152 mm 178 mm
Bending shall be accomplished in less than 30 seconds. The coated specimens shall show no cracks to base metal when examined at 10X magnification except where gripped or clamped. If visual examination cannot determine whether a crack extends to base metal, holiday testing using the hot spark detector method with a conductive rubber electrode shall be used. Tests are to be carried out as required in paragraph 10.6.3 of this specification. If no holidays are signaled, the crack-like defect is acceptable. If either of the bend tests fail, the tests shall be repeated. 10.7.8.1 10.7.8.2 If both bend retests are satisfactory, the bend test shall be accepted. If either (or both) of the retests fail, immediately discontinue further coating with the suspect batch of powder and proceed as follows: a) Pipe: All pipes coated since the previous successful bend test shall be set aside. Two specimens with the same dimensions as given in paragraph 10.7.2 shall be cold cut from the production coated pipes in question and subjected to the bend test. The edges of the specimens as necessary shall be chamfered to remove stress raisers. As many specimens as necessary shall be tested until the Buyer's Representative is satisfied that all pipes with substandard coatings have been identified. These pipes shall be rejected. Fittings: All fittings coated with the suspect powder shall be re-blasted and recoated.
10.7.8
b) 10.7.9
If deemed necessary in some critical applications or according to an end-user request, the RSA shall request the Vendor to prepare the Bend test samples from a coated pipe section. Samples shall be cut in both radial and longitudinal directions from the pipe section to suit the Bend test requirements. The procedure of the test shall be as shown above.
Page 14 of 19
10.8
Cure Test Twice per shift the coating on production pipes shall be tested by Differential Scanning Calorimeter analysis. Custom coated fittings shall be subjected to the same test at a frequency of one sample per production lot. Girth welds shall be checked twice per day. Failure of the test shall require each piece coated on that day to be subjected to the test until a total of three tests in a row (three done both before and after the piece which failed) are satisfactory. The glass transition difference (Tg2-Tg1) must be in the range specified by the FBE Manufacturer. Any coated pipes, girth welds, or fittings fail the test within the acceptable range shall be re-cured and retested.
10.9
Calibration of Inspection Equipment 10.9.1 The coating thickness gauge (see paragraph 10.4) shall be calibrated in accordance with SSPC PA 2 at the start of production and every 3 hours during production, against a certified or known standard. The holiday detector shall be calibrated at least twice per 8-hour shift against a suitable calibrated voltmeter.
10.9.2
11
Recheck on Coating Material Qualities The Buyer's Representative at any time may require that the Vendor prepare a set of test specimens as defined in Appendix A, and arrange for the performance of any or all of the tests covered by Appendix A at a laboratory agreeable to the Buyer. Provided the coating on the specimens passes the tests, the Buyer shall pay for the tests; otherwise the Vendor shall pay the costs.
12
Repairs 12.1 12.2 12.3 12.4 Repair materials shall be as specified under paragraph 5.2 of this specification, and repairs shall be in accordance with the approved, written procedures. Abrasive blasting and patch repair work shall not be conducted when the metal surface temperature is less than 3C above the dew point. Repaired areas shall be retested for holidays per paragraph 10.6 and shall be holiday free. Any coated joint with defective or damaged coating exceeding 930 cm shall be rejected and completely recoated at the Vendor's expense.
Page 15 of 19
12.5
Custom coated fittings or girth welds with defective or damaged coating exceeding 233 cm shall be rejected and recoated at the Vendor's expense.
13
Pipe Storage and Preparation for Shipment 13.1 Each coated length of pipe or fitting shall be externally or internally stenciled to identify the type of coating applied, coating Purchase Order number, original pipe or fitting Purchase Order number (if known), pipe size, pipe grade, fitting size, fitting class and date coated. 13.1.1 Pipe diameters of 16 inches and less shall be stenciled externally starting at a point approximately 60 cm from the end. Size permitting, fittings of these diameters shall be stenciled externally at any convenient location. Pipe diameters greater than 16 inches shall be stenciled internally starting at a point approximately 15 cm from the end. Size permitting, fittings of these diameters shall be stenciled internally at any convenient location. Fittings that cannot be stenciled as required above shall be marked in accordance with the Buyer's written instructions.
13.1.2
13.1.3 13.2 13.3
All pipes shall be stored on polyethylene-sheathed sand berms until time for delivery. Fittings shall be stored on pallets or padded elevated racks. All booms, hooks, forks, supports and skids used in handling or storing coated pipe shall be designed and maintained in such a manner as to prevent any damage to the pipe or to the coating, and shall be approved by Buyer's Representative.

Note: In order for full and unrestricted approval of a coating system it must pass all above tests and also pass the bending tests. However, it is possible to get limited approval by passing the individual tests in a specific service. All systems shall pass (d) as well as be bendable in order to qualify except as otherwise noted in this SAMSS.
