1 1 InspectThis! Summer 2013 Supplement to CoatingsPro Magazine Summer 2013 New Waterjetting Standards Replace Withdrawn NACE No. 5 By Malcolm McNeil, CIP Committee Chair In the past we have discussed the coating inspector s responsibilities regarding standards or norms. Standards are referenced in the specifications and are used by specifiers to govern the work. Inspectors must be totally familiar with the referenced standards to plan and perform the inspection function. In this issue of Inspect This!, I want to review the new waterjetting standards that have replaced NACE No. 5/ SSPC-SP 12, which was withdrawn. The replacement for this standard consists of four new joint standards: SSPC- SP WJ-1/NACE WJ-1, SSPC-SP WJ-2/ NACE WJ-2, SSPC-SP WJ-3/NACE WJ-3, and SSPC-SP WJ-4/NACE WJ-4. Most of the information included in the four replacement standards is the same as in the withdrawn NACE No. 5/ SSPC-SP 12. For instance, the designations of the different pressure levels remain the same: Low-Pressure Water Cleaning (LP WC) water performed at pressures less than 34 MPa (5,000 psig) High-Pressure Water Cleaning (HP WC) performed at pressures from 34 to 70 MPa (5,000 to 10,000 psig) High-Pressure Waterjetting (HP WJ) performed at pressures from 70 to 210 MPa (10,000 to 30,000 psig) Ultra High-Pressure Waterjetting (UHP WJ) performed at pressures greater than 210 MPa (30,000 psig) The different degrees of cleanliness required by WJ-1, WJ-2, WJ-3, and WJ-4 have not changed. It is my understanding that the NACE No. 5/SSPC-SP 12 standard was withdrawn and replaced by the four new standards to bring them more in line with the NACE/SSPC joint abrasive blast standards as well as the ISO abrasive blast standards. The new standards state in Paragraph 1.1.1: Clean to Bare Substrate is the waterjet cleaning equivalent to ISO Sa 3 Cleaning to Bare Metal. Paragraph states: Within the hierarchy of degrees of surface cleanliness achieved by waterjet cleaning, Clean to Bare Substrate (WJ-1) is intended to be similar to the degree of surface cleanliness of NACE No. 1/ SSPC-SP 5 except that stains are permitted to remain on the surface. In addition, Paragraph states: Direct correlation to existing dry abrasive blasting standards and visual comparators is inaccurate or inappropriate. Depending on how you interpret these statements, they appear to be in conflict with each other and somewhat confusing to the reader. Therefore, it is recommended that for clarification, if needed, one should contact the committee responsible for writing the new standards. Another change is the information on nonvisible contaminants (soluble salts). In NACE No. 5/SSPC-SP 12 there were three designations for nonvisible contaminants: NV-1, NV-2, and NV-3. Each of these described the amount of nonvisible contaminants that was permitted to be left on the surface. The four new standards leave it up to the specification writer to specify the allowable nonvisible contaminants. Nonvisible contaminants are described in Appendix A of the new standards. The definitions of the Degrees of Flash Rusting are the same in the four new standards as they were in NACE No. 5/SSPC-SP 12. However, in Appendix B of the new standards, some methods of assessing the degree of flash rust are suggested. These are not mandatory and it is left up to the specification writer to specify the amount of flash rust that is acceptable. As always, safety is a major concern when working with high-pressure equipment. As inspectors, we all know that we are responsible for our own safety and must obey all safety rules. In summary, while many sections of the WJ-1, WJ-2, WJ-3, and WJ-4 standards are the same as some sections of NACE No. 5/SSPC-SP 12, there are some major changes and inspectors who may be called upon to inspect surfaces that are cleaned by waterjetting should study the new standards and become familiar with the requirements of those referenced.!

2 2 InspectThis! Summer 2013 Is Compressed Breathing Air Safe? By Ken Judice, Jr., Hill County Consulting and Inspection, Inc., Canyon Lake, Texas It is necessary do a better job of providing our work force with a safe work environment and each one of us should be looking out for our coworkers as we do for ourselves. This is not only the right thing to do, but it is good for business. It is troublesome to me that so many of us within the protective coatings profession do not know what is required when providing breathing air to our workers for blasting and painting purposes. I am speaking about Grade D breathing air and two organizations that provide us with the guidelines for reference the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Compressed Gas Association (CGA). If you are not yet familiar with the requirements of 29 CFR OSHA and CGA G-7.1, 2 then take notice of the FIGURE 1 Typical air compressor used for breathing air. FIGURE 2 CO filter and monitor. following: Breathing air produced from compressors must meet Grade D requirements : Oxygen: 19.5 to 23.5% Oil: <5 mg/m 3 Odor: no pronounced odor Carbon monoxide (CO): <10 ppm Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ): <1,000 ppm Water: a dew point <65 F (18 C) or the dew point must be 10 F lower than the coldest temperature where the respirator is worn For purposes of this article, I want to focus on CO, so let s discuss this colorless, odorless, and deadly gas and some of the ways it can be introduced into our compressed breathing air. Possible sources of CO include: Motor exhaust drawn into compressor intakes. Combustion product of fuels and lubricants, especially overheated oils, generated within compressors. Oxidation of overheated sorbent filters generated within compressors. The accumulated CO can be released when there is a drop in operating pressure. When considering the preceding, we should have a better understanding of why diesel- and gasoline-fired compressors (Figure 1) must be equipped with high-temperature or CO alarms (Figure 2). If only a high-temperature alarm is

3 Summer 2013 InspectThis! 3 provided, then breathing air must be monitored to contain <10 ppm of CO. High-temperature alarms protect the compressor and identify a condition that can produce CO. Monitors for CO detect levels of CO >10 ppm and warn the worker via visible or audible alarms. It has been my experience that a lack of CO monitoring, CO alarms, and high-temperature alarms are most commonly found on older models of compressors used when working in the field or at locations other than the shop. Portable diesel and gasoline-fired air compressors are most common in these work settings. Most shops now provide safer breathing air produced from electric compressors but this may not always be the case. In addition, check daily and before each use that all air hose connections are threaded and tight whenever possible, banded properly, and include safety pins and whip checks. All valves should be functional with handles do not rely on a crescent wrench or pliers as a means to shut off valves. An out-ofcontrol bull hose connected to a valve without a handle can impact a worker s body or skull. A whip check and valve handle are inexpensive insurance that can prevent a lot of suffering. Many of us can remember the days when we connected our blast hood air lines to a carbon filter on a compressor not equipped with high-temperature or CO alarms and smelled the pungent odor of oil under the hood. We are lucky to be here to tell those stories. I sometimes reflect on my lack of safety knowledge in the past and the risks I took many times! For all of you out in the field doing the work, realize that your employer may not always know everything associated with safety. Many employers rely heavily on the experienced worker to identify field hazards and take corrective actions. Hazardous conditions need to be brought to the employer s attention to bring about the necessary changes that will make the workplace safer. Not only does the employer rely on experienced workers, but new and inexperienced workers also need guidance in the field from the more experienced workers. Sometimes the experience of a coworker is the difference between injury or death and safely returning home. Do not be hesitant in approaching If you witness something unsafe, it is your employer with concerns about your responsibility to take the necessary compressed breathing air that may not steps to correct the situation. Sometimes meet the requirements since it s your life it is as simple as reminding personnel in balance. Also, do not hesitate to share about a safer way to do a job and sometimes it involves bringing the issue to a your knowledge with less experienced workers in the field. Always consider supervisor to correct. those loved ones at home relying on you I am extremely proud to have worked to walk through that door each night in this industry for more than 25 years. and continue to provide for their needs. I have promised my wife and children to Remember also that injuries in the do my part to return home each night in work place reflect negatively upon the the same condition as I arrived at work entire industry, not just those directly and to do what I can to ensure that others involved.

4 4 InspectThis! Summer 2013 Corrosion Basics: Safe Application of Protective Coatings In every industrial environment, the safety factor is an important consideration. In some environments, it is of overriding importance. Some of the safety factors that need to be considered in coating application are as follows. Safety in Surface Preparation Workers using abrasive blasting equipment should be furnished with good equipment in proper working order. They should be equipped with air-filter masks to prevent their breathing dust and scale. Clothing should be adequate and safe. Safety shoes should be worn. Necessary goggles or safety glasses should be mandatory. Ear plugs or protective ear coverings should be worn. No equipment should be operated in areas where it will create sparks that might ignite explosive or flammable materials. It should not be operated where abrasives, scale, or overspray will damage or interfere with the operation of other equipment. Some materials, particularly older coatings that are to be removed for recoating of structures, are considered hazardous and require special safety procedures. This includes lead-based paints and asbestos-based coatings. These materials, often including the blast media, may not be left on site after removal. The participation of an industrial hygienist is often required to develop the plan for removal, capture, and proper disposal of these materials. Safety in Materials Coating materials are frequently flammable, explosive, or poisonous, and sometimes all three. The characteristics of any material used should be known in advance, and any necessary precautions must be taken and rigidly maintained during the progress of the job. In summary: 1) Coatings incorporating flammable or explosive materials should not be used in the vicinity of open flames, sparks, or electrical equipment. Every precaution should be taken to prevent accidental fire or explosion by prohibiting smoking, requiring the use of non-sparking tools, or whatever other safety requirements are appropriate. 2) When used in enclosed places, solvent concentrations should be kept both

Ventilation of enclosed places should be continuous during the operation and for three hours afterward when explosive or flammable solvents are used. Safety-approved electrical equipment is mandatory. Solvent vapors should be removed from tanks by suction because many vapors are heavier than air. Thus, the remotest and lowest ends of tanks should receive special attention. Workers should wear approved compressed-air masks. Shoes should have rubber soles and heels and no exposed steel nails. Safety in Equipment Whenever ventilation is a factor, it should be planned carefully and checked frequently. When necessary, automatic equipment should be used to make constant checks of air for poisons or explosive concentrations. All riggings, lifts, platforms, hoses, or any other equipment used on the job should be inspected and maintained in safe order. Rigging should be done by experienced operators. Sources of Safety Information Plant safety practices should be known and understood by plant paint crews or by outside crews doing contract work. In addition, the advice of plant safety engineers should be solicited and recommendations followed. Published information is available from technical and trade associations, testing bureaus, and most important, is usually printed on labels and instruction sheets received with materials and equipment. All personnel should be experienced and properly trained, including Operator Qualification (OQ) training, where applicable.!
