Preface
1.1
Background
This Specification SP-1246 covers the minimum requirements for protective painting and coating systems, materials and application methods for the internal and external surface of steel structures and equipment within the oil and gas production facilities.
Relevant structures and equipment include aboveground and buried onshore tanks, vessels, in-station pipe work, structural steel, and surface electrical and mechanical equipment.
Whilst the Specification is directed predominantly at protection of onshore oil and gas installations, it also covers external protective coating of marine facilities such as jetties, mooring buoys, barges and launches. Internal surfaces of pumps, valves and other mechanical equipment requiring special protective treatments are not dealt with in this Specification. For guidance on this contact UER/CFDH Materials and Corrosion. The external coating of new pipelines and existing pipelines requiring rehabilitation are covered in alternative Specifications and procedures which are shown below.
GU-368 Guidelines For The Protection Of Buried Sections Of Surface Laid Pipelines/Flowlines PR-1180 Procedure for Qualification of Pipeline Rehabilitation Coating Systems
DEP 31.40.30.31-Gen. Technical Specification for External Polyethylene and Polypropylene Coating for Line Pipe
DEP 31.40.30.32-Gen. Technical Specification for External Fusion-bonded Epoxy Powder Coating for Line Pipe
DEP 31.40.30.37-Gen External Field Joint and Rehabilitation Coatings System For Line Pipe.
1.2
Applicability
All coating work shall be carried out in accordance with this Specification. If a variance is required then approval in writing from UER/CFDH Materials and Corrosion is required.
This Specification is not applicable retroactively.
This specification does not apply to concrete structures. For concrete structures in corrosive environment consult UER/CFDH Materials and Corrosion.
This is Part 2 of a five-part Specification and must be read in conjunction with Parts 1, 3, 4 and 5.
PART 1 specifies technical and related requirements. This part includes performance tests and acceptance
criteria for assessing the acceptability of paint/coating/lining systems for each service specified in Parts 2 and 3.
PART 2 contains recommended protective coating systems for the following categories with respect to
new construction painting/coating activities:
- External surfaces of carbon steel structures, piping and equipment, onshore and marine - External surfaces of buried carbon steel structures, piping and buried sections of above ground
flowlines and pipelines. (except Class I and Class II pipelines) - Internal surfaces of tanks and vessels
- Stainless steel and galvanised piping and equipment - Areas beneath insulation
- Specialist applications
This Part also gives descriptions of the generic types of paint used for new construction projects. The descriptions apply equally to the maintenance paint systems presented in Part 3.
Protective coatings for new pipelines based on Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP) or Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) are not covered in this Specification but the general good practices described in this part are equally applicable to the coating of line pipe.
PART 3 contains recommended Maintenance coating systems for the following categories with respect to
location and painting/coating activities and inspection of old coatings:
- External coatings on carbon steel structures, piping and equipment, onshore and marine - External surfaces of buried carbon steel structures, piping including Class I and Class II
pipelines
- Internal coated surfaces of tanks and vessels - Stainless steel and galvanised piping and equipment - Coatings beneath insulation
PART 4 contains the detailed requirements for Surface Preparation and Application of Coatings to the
categories stated in Parts 2 and 3. This Part contains HSE advice and general inspection requirements.
PART 5 contains the list of approved coating systems and is a live document that will be updated by UER.
This includes coating systems that have been grandfathered in.
New Projects
PARTS 1, 2 and 3 apply in their entirety to new projects where painting and coating activities are carried
out at site or in the shop.
For painting and coating of package items, carried out prior to delivery to site or to existing facilities, the requirements, stated in PARTS 1 and 4, apply in their entirety, whilst those of PART 2 apply where applicable.
Maintenance
Where maintenance painting is to be done, PDO’s technical requirements are stated in PART 1 and those sections of PART 3 and 4 as appropriate, dependent upon the Scope of Work.
1.3
Units of Measurement
This specification uses and requires the use of the International System (SI) units of measurement in all documentation. Paint film thicknesses are expressed in microns, 1micron is 0.001mm.

Introduction
2.1
General
This Part of specification SP-1246 gives generic systems and minimum DFT of painting and coating systems that PDO recommends for the various structures and service conditions identified. The schedules refer to the coating systems PCS-1 to PCS-12.
2.2 Scope
This part of the specification covers the performance and acceptance requirements of the coating systems to be used. Testing has to be done by an independent laboratory or test facility. The proposed Vendor coating systems have to pass the performance criteria detailed in this part of the Specification and be submitted to PDO for approval.

Coating Systems
4.1
System Compatibility
The protective coating system should be selected on the basis of the complete installation so as to achieve a fully compatible system at the time of final construction. Each component of a coating system shall be supplied by the same manufacturer.
Holding primers must not form part of the final coating system and must be removed before the approved coating system is applied. Approved coating system primers may be shop applied with subsequently coats applied at site providing the Manufacturer’s requirements are met.
4.2
Painting and Coating Schedules (PCS)
No alterations or changes may be made to the PCS data sheets provided in this Part without prior approval of the Custodian of this Specification who will copy the data sheets and initial them to signify his approval of such changes.
The Schedules in Section 5 give typical values for surface profile and minimum DFT for paint thicknesses. These may vary from those recommended by the paint manufacturers and should therefore be used as a guide to minimum values.
Part 4 of this Specification gives information on the surface preparation, coating application, inspection requirements and HSE referred to in the data sheets.
Part 5 of this specification gives the approved list of coating systems and will be continually updated by UER/CFDH Materials and Corrosion..
4.3
Protective Coatings for Stainless Steel
Paints specified for application directly to austenitic, duplex or high nickel-chromium alloys shall not contain free chlorides or halides after curing. In addition, such coatings shall not contain metallic zinc although inhibitive paints containing zinc oxide or zinc phosphate are acceptable.
4.4
Health and Environmental Restrictions
Because of hazards to health and the environment, PDO has restricted the use of the following paints: - Paints containing lead
- High VOC containing paints - Paints containing cadmium - Paints containing coal tar
- Anti-fouling paints containing biocides or tributyl tin
