The process is analogous to flood coating or extrusion coating but differs significantly in its detail. For guidelines on the use of hot applied bitumen based tapes, see Annex J. Composition, use and application of hot applied bitumen based tapes shall be in accordance with Annex P. 5 Method of application 5.1 Surface preparation 5.1.1 General Tubes and components shall be maintained at least 3 °C above the dew point temperature at all times during the cleaning and coating process. NOTE At the time of application, particularly when the weather is damp and cold, it may be necessary to pre-heat the tubes and components, and this operation should not be prejudicial to the cleanliness of the surface or to the conditions required for the application of the primer. 5.1.2 Pre-blast requirements Immediately prior to blast cleaning, the tubes shall be inspected for surface contamination (oil, grease, temporary corrosion protection, etc.). Where oil, grease or other surface contaminants are present they shall be removed (without spreading over the surface) with a suitable solvent (e.g. Xylene) or a biodegradable emulsifier. SIST EN 10300:2006



EN 10300:2005 (E) 12 All surface defects (slivers, laminations, etc.) detrimental to the surface or to the adhesion of the coating shall be removed. When necessary, tubes shall be washed with fresh potable water before blast cleaning to remove surface contaminants including mud, salts and other loosely adhering mineral matter. The tubes and components shall then be preheated to a minimum of 30 °C in order to remove moisture and to prevent contamination of the abrasive media. 5.1.3 Blast cleaning Tubes and components shall be blast cleaned. The grade of abrasive shall give a blast peak to trough surface profile of 75 µm ± 25 µm. The degree of cleanliness shall be to Sa 2½ in accordance with EN ISO 8501-1. Only dry abrasive techniques shall be employed. The abrasive shall be reusable chilled iron grit or steel grit or a mixture of grit and shot. The abrasive shall be kept free from dust, salts and other impurities. Sand shall not be used. 5.2 Priming The primer shall be applied to a dust free, clean, dry, prepared surface. The primer shall be applied in accordance with the primer manufacturer’s recommendations. The primer film applied at the thickness specified by the primer manufacturer shall be uniform and continuous. The dry film thickness shall be measured at least once per shift. The primer shall be free from runs, drips, sags, misses, holidays and bare areas. Tubes not primed correctly shall be re-cleaned and re-primed. Tubes on which the primer has deteriorated, or become contaminated shall be rejected and shall be re-cleaned and re-primed. 5.3 Application of enamel coating, inner-wraps and outer-wrap 5.3.1 Enamel preparation The enamel shall be heated in kettles fitted with mechanical stirrers providing continuous agitation of the enamel, and accurate, easily readable recording thermometers, which extend to within 100 mm of the bottom of the kettle. The thermometers shall be calibrated and maintained in working order. NOTE Bulk deliveries of molten enamel can be transferred directly to the kettles. Solid enamel shall be broken up into small pieces, not exceeding 10 kg, in a suitable place free from contamination. The heat setting may be increased once a quantity of molten enamel forms in the kettle bottom, but the heat initially shall be applied on a low setting. Whilst the enamel is molten it shall be stirred and the lid of the kettle kept firmly closed, unless to withdraw molten enamel or to add fresh material. The quantity of enamel remaining in the kettle, which may be reheated, shall never exceed 10 % of the fresh loading. The enamel shall be heated to the manufacturer's recommended application temperature and shall not be held for a longer period than that recommended by the manufacturer. Enamel that has been heated in excess of the manufacturer's maximum recommended temperature or held at application temperature for over 6 h shall be tested for softening point and penetration which shall conform to Table 3 or Table 4 depending on the category of enamel. Further tests shall be conducted at regular intervals, agreed at the time of ordering, to confirm that the material continues to conform to Table 3 or Table 4, otherwise it shall be rejected and discarded. All application kettles shall be equipped with screens to exclude particles of foreign matter or other materials that may cause coating flaws. Ensure there is no mixing of material from different sources or of different categories unless experience has shown that the final product has satisfactory properties. In particular it shall be recognized that the chemical and physical characteristics of coal-tar-based coatings differ from those of bitumen-based coatings and that the two kinds of coating shall not be blended together in protective coatings. The plant shall be SIST EN 10300:2006



EN 10300:2005 (E) 13 cleaned out thoroughly when the use of bitumen coating materials follows that of coal-tar coating materials or vice versa. The same precaution shall be taken when interchanging between different types of bitumen enamels. The residual material removed from the kettles during cleaning shall be discarded, not blended with other enamel. 5.3.2 Application 5.3.2.1 General Coat and wrap application shall follow priming within 2 h, and the primed surface shall be dry and free from surface contamination prior to enamel application. NOTE Thickness recommendations for Category 1 and Category 2 coatings are given in Annex J. 5.3.2.2 Category 1 enamel Category 1 enamel shall be applied by flood coating or pouring with equipment for spirally wrapping the inner-wrap(s) and outer-wrap under controlled tension using trained operators. Such equipment shall be approved prior to commencement. The flood coat of enamel shall have the inner-wrap(s) pulled in and the outer-wrap pulled on immediately following flood coating. The inner-wrap(s) shall not touch the surface of the pipe and shall be embedded in the middle third of the enamel thickness. If two inner-wraps are required, they shall be separated at spacings to be specified at the time of ordering, see 6.2.2. The outer-wrap shall be pulled onto the enamel and be well bonded with some bleed through of enamel occurring. All wraps shall be wrinkle-free with minimum overlap of 12 mm. The enamel shall be applied at a temperature in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. The enamel shall flow evenly onto the pipe and be free from any solid particles which may cause irregularities in flow. The coating shall be cut-back where necessary to meet the specification. The method of removal of cut-back shall be approved prior to commencement of coating. 5.3.2.3 Category 2 enamel NOTE 1 Due to their higher viscosity, Category 2 materials are not suitable for flood coating. Category 2 materials shall be applied by an extrusion process. Equipment shall be used for spirally wrapping the outer-wrap under controlled ten
