INSPECTION The higher the demands to protection are, the more advanced will the Coating system and painting specification be. This, in turn, increases the demands to the execution of the work - consequently – to the degree of quality control/ painting inspection Level of Inspection Three levels of inspection are cognized. British standard, BS 5493:1977, defines them as follows :- • Full:- All operations observed by an inspector and passed • as complying with the specification before the next stage is • started. ( for Larger projects, this may require a team of inspectors. 2. Intermittent:- Part of all operations observed by an inspector and passed as complying with the specification before the next stage is started. . • Occasional :- All operations observed initially by an inspector for setting • standards of workmanship. Ad hoc visits by an inspector thereafter.
Duties of the inspector :- The duties of the paint coating inspector may be very briefly given as:- - Spotting causes for possible later defects. - Ensure that said causes are removed, or the defects corrected The multitude of tasks belonging to paint coatings inspection may be conveniently divided according to the progress of work. Five distinct phases – some of them recurrent – require the inspector’s attention. • Before surface preparation • Before the start of any surface preparation it would be advantageous to examine, at least • the surface to be treated, preparation equipment, and possibly also structural details. • Surface condition (steel) – Important Check points :- • - Rust grades (eg. A,B,C or D according to SIS 05 59 00: 1967 • - Laminations or inclusions • - Presence of water, Oil, Grease, Soluble salts, soot or other contaminants not • removed by mechanical cleaning. • - Sharp or rough edges. • - Rough or porous welds, weld spatter, arc strikes, excessive weld fumes (usually greasy • etc.)
2. During Surface Preparation :- • While surface preparation is in progress, relevant equipment checks are made at • regular intervals. • - Cleanness and • - Profile/ Anchor pattern • are monitored to the extent this is possible. • Before paint application :- • main areas, on which the inspector should focus his attention before any paint is applied, would • include the storage, mixing and issue of paints, working conditions and application equipment, • surface condition and the microclimate. • During paint application : - • During the application of paints, most of the checkpoints from foregoing phase remain valid. • in addition : • - wet film thicknesses and • - workmanship • are monitored to the extent possible. • After paint application:- • Always checked, after application of the final coat of paint are • - General appearance and • - Total dry film thickness applied • Checks may, in some cases and for particular jobs, be made on: • - Continuity ( free from pinholes) • - Adhesion / Cohesion • - Smoothness ( this is sometimes desired on the • underwater hull of the ships
