Inspector or Consultant?By Malcolm McNeil, CIP Committee Chair

As a NACE-certified Coating Inspector Level 3, you will

often be looked upon as the coatings expert on a project. As such, when a question comes up relating to the coatings specifica-

tions, the various processes being utilized by the coating contractor, or surface prepara-tion issues, you may be asked for advice. The question is, should you give advice or recom-mendations to the contractor and/or his/her personnel?

NACE defines the role of the inspec-tor as a quality control technician whose primar y responsibi l ity is to obser ve and report on the technical aspects of a coating project and its conformance or deviation from the project specification. Supervision is not considered part of the inspector’s role. However, the role of the coating inspector wil l vary depending upon the owner or where in the world the project is located. These issues should be clarified at the pre-job conference if one is held. And one should be held.

So the issue of whether the inspec-tor should give advice or not depends on various considerations. We say that the

inspector is a member of a team working on the project and the team members all have the same goal, that being to perform the work in conformance with the specifica-tions in the time allotted for the project.

This being said, if you, as the inspec-tor, have knowledge that the contractor may use, should you not, as a good team player, share that knowledge with the contractor or project engineer? The answer to this quest ion depends on several considerations including liability, responsibility, experience, confidence, knowledge, etc.

Giving advice and recommendations is usually the role of a consultant rather than the coating inspector. The rates charged by a consultant wil l normally vary considerably compared to the rates charged for coat ing inspect ion. As a coating inspector, one must be careful as to how quest ions are answered. If you make recommendations and they are followed and the work turns out to be in non-conformance with the speci-f ications, will you be held responsible? The answer to this is a resounding yes! Therefore, you should carefully evaluate every situation before you give advice or recommendations.

If you make recommendations and they are followed and the work turns out to be in non-conformance with the specifications,

will you be held responsible? The answer to this is a resounding yes!

and I got an e-mail Friday afternoon saying I won the drawing,” says McElveen. “NACE reimbursed me and I went to the class. I was excited and eager to move up to the next level with NACE. This came at just the right time.”

With his money back in his own pocket, McElveen attended the course for free, passed

the exam, and earned CIP Level 2 certifica-tion. He was previously certified to CIP Level 1 and CIP Level 1 with Bridge Specialty.

McElveen is a superintendent with MK Painting, based in Detroit, Michigan, but he works out of Hockley, Texas. He oversees the crews that blast off the existing coating and then apply a new coating on ground storage, stand pipes, and on the interior and exterior of elevated water towers.

When he started off in the coatings industry, McElveen didn’t have training or experience. “A long time ago I was with a company that did pipes. I was handed a can of paint and told ‘figure this out.’ I started reading the specs. That’s how I started doing it.”

Later, McElveen was hired with another company that recommended he earn NACE CIP Level 1 certification. Now that he has earned CIP Level 2 certification, he says he will have more opportunities for higher pay.

“CIP Level 2 is the most interesting thing that I’ve done as far as education. You get a lot of knowledge and the people you meet have different levels of knowledge, from powder coatings and underground pipes to ships and offshore. You can learn a lot just listening to them.”

To enter the drawing to win a free CIP course, simply send an e-mail message to [email protected] and mention that you saw this article. To be eligible, you must have completed CIP Level 1 and your certification must be active. The free CIP course (Level 2 or Level 3—Peer Review) must be taken within one year of winning the drawing.!

Observation is the inspector’s primary tool, and one of the inspector’s primary points of

observation is the coating applicator. The inspector should realize that the average applicator knows very little about the makeup of coatings, particularly the high-performance type of coatings that are used under highly corrosive conditions. Thus, he or she is much more likely to make mistakes in thinning and in the application of such coatings than in the past when paints were much more simple in character. The inspec-tor should also realize that the personnel actually performing the work will probably never read the provisions of the specifica-tions, so that the only information they have concerning the coating is what is printed on the can. Many applicators believe that they know all about coatings application, even though their information has been derived from the actual use of only one or two types. In many cases, even the contractor’s supervisory personnel have not had access to the actual specifications. Thus, the inspector may have the delicate job of educating both the supervisors and the applicators with regard to the specific coating that is being applied.

One of the most obvious duties involved in inspecting a coating application is to check both the job specifications and

the manufacturer’s specifications, not only to make sure that he or she is fully aware of all details, but also that the two specifica-

over which the coating is to be applied.

is expected from the coating, and in this case he or she should know the practical as well as theoretical coverage. From this, the inspector should be able to determine the wet film thickness (WFT) to be applied and the dry film thickness (DFT) of the final coating. With this information, the inspec-tor can then check during the application for the thickness of the material as it goes onto the surface. With some experience, an inspector can actually determine quite accurately whether or not the material is being properly applied, even when standing some distance away from the surface. If the inspector stands in such a position that he or she can see the gloss of the coating as it is being applied, the inspector can determine if it is being applied evenly, if the passes are being overlapped properly, if there are thin spots or holidays being left, or if the material is being applied as dry spray. All of this is part of the observation process during actual application. Inspectors should also make periodic checks of the total coating thickness with a WFT gauge. This is an easy instrument to use, and it should be used directly in the area where the coating is being applied.

The actions of the applicator (i.e., how the applicator handles the gun or the brush, the amount of coating being applied, whether or not he or she is flicking the gun at the end of a pass, and the gun distance from the surface) are all important observa-tions. The inspector can probably do more to ensure a proper application at this point than at any other point in the operation. It is at this time that the inspector should observe all application conditions very closely.

tions agree. If there is a major discrepancy between the two, these should be reconciled at the pre-application conference between the owners, manufacturer, contractor, and inspector.

Inspecting the Surface Prior to CoatingOne of the first steps in the inspection of an application is the inspection of the surface over which the coating is to be applied. The inspection of the surface should include assurances that the prepared surfaces are free of any dust, dirt, or abrasive residue from blast cleaning and that the surface is ready for application of the coating. If the coating work is to be done on an exterior surface, the prepared surfaces should be coated with the first coat prior to night-fall in order to prevent turning of the surface or moisture condensation. Blast-cleaned surfaces should not be allowed to stand overnight without first being coated. If the surfaces to be coated are on the interior, there may be times when they can be allowed to stand overnight prior to coating. Even in this case, however, it is not a good practice, and the inspector should thoroughly re-inspect the surface the following morning prior to the application of any coating.

Inspection of the surface prior to appli-cation applies not only to bare steel, but also to previously primed or coated surfaces. It is important that each coat in the system be applied over a perfectly clean, dry surface, and that the previous coats be touched up for any damage prior to the application of the following coat. Care should be taken to make certain that the surface is free from precipi-tated salts or other impurities between coats.

Ensuring Proper Coating Mixing and ThinningBefore the application of any coating, the inspector should ensure the proper mixing and thinning of the coating prior to its use. Inspectors should make sure that the material in the containers is the proper

one for the job, and that the solids in the bottom of the container are thoroughly mixed into a uniform, lump-free condition. If two-component materials are being used, each of the components may require proper mixing in order to thoroughly incorporate all of the materials into a uniform liquid. Following the mixing of each component, the mixing of the two components in the proper quantities should be observed. The mixture of the two materials should, when completed, be uniform in color, texture, and so forth. If thinning is called for in the speci-fications, the inspector should check to be sure that the proper thinner and the proper quantity of thinner are being used.

Applicators invariably tend to over-thin paint, since this makes it easier to apply by either brush or spray. The inspector must realize that over-thinning tends to produce thin films, thus requiring additional coats to make up for the difference in solid content. The average specification will call for no more than a pint of thinner per gallon of the original coating. This usually will adjust the viscosity to the needs of varied weather conditions or use of specific application equipment.

Once the coating is ready to be applied, the inspector should know the coverage that

By observing the actions of the applicator, the inspector can probably do more to ensure a proper application than at any

other point in the operation.

Checking for Coating ImperfectionsThe inspector should include checking each coat for imperfections such as holidays, pinholes, runs, blistering, and overspray. If at all possible, such imperfections should be taken care of immediately prior to the movement of the applicator away from a particular area. Before the coating is dry, runs can be easily brushed out, holidays can be recoated, pinholes can be brushed, and the gun can be adjusted for overspray conditions. If the imperfections are taken care of at this point, prior to the coating being dry, a solid, uniform coating is assured. If the coating has been allowed to dry and then inspected, it is necessary to repair each of the above types of imperfec-tions at that time, prior to the application of an additional coat. The coating should be repaired for damage as well as for imperfec-tions prior to the following coat. Each coat should be checked for curing and drying conditions; the inspector should deter-mine that the drying time is proper both between coats and for the final coat. He or she should make certain that there has been no condensation on the surface or fallout of contamination between coats. If such condi-tions have occurred, each coat should be cleaned prior to additional coats. Finished surfaces should be inspected. This inspec-tion should cover overspray, pinholes, runs, holidays, and any area that appears to be rough or improperly applied. All such imperfections should be marked and repaired prior to acceptance of the coating.

The Importance of TemperatureDuring the application, the inspector should be aware of temperatures; not only the ambient temperature of the atmosphere, but also the temperature of the metal. The relative humidity should be checked to ensure that condensation and moisture are not possible on the surface during the appli-cation. When the temperature is close to the dew point, even the evaporation of the solvent in the coating can reduce the surface temperature condition to the point where moisture can condense on the surface. When this happens, the coating may blush (which is the absorption of the condensed moisture into the coating), causing a poor film. The minimum air temperature usually permitted for the application of coatings is 40 °F (5 °C), and the temperature of the

steel should never be much lower than that. Under certain conditions, and with certain coatings, the temperature limits can be lowered, but it is generally not good coating practice to coat when the metal temperature is below 35 °F (1 ° to 2 °C).

Coating during below-freezing temper-atures, although possible with some coatings, is always dangerous since any moisture that may have been on the surface turns to either frost or ice and will cause immediate delamination of the coating. High tempera-

tures are also a problem. Generally, coatings should not be applied when metal tempera-tures are greater than 125 °F (50 °C). Some special coatings may be applied at higher temperatures, although these are usually the exception. The temperature at which it is uncomfortable to place a hand on the surface, and usually not possible to hold it for any period of time, is 125 °F.

The temperature of the surface and the air are always a concern during an applica-tion. The contractor may want to continue

6 InspectThis! Spring 2014

coating even though the minimum or maximum temperature has been exceeded. At this point, the inspector must determine whether it is possible to exceed the limits or whether, because of conditions, the quality of the coating will suffer. Generally, it is best not to permit any broadening of the temperature range since coating problems only multiply at each end of the range.

If coating is done on the exterior surfaces, weather changes are always a problem, and may be harmful to the freshly applied coating. Rain, sharp decreases in temperature, increases in wind condi-tions, and increases in humidity should be carefully watched. If possible, the application should be halted prior to any damage to the coating or, at least, time should be provided for the applied coating to dry before damage can occur due to such changes.

Awareness of HumidityAs previously discussed, condensation is a particularly difficult factor to not only observe, but also control. A surface can change within a matter of minutes from being dry to being so wet that you could write your name in the condensation. This is the reason that humidity should be checked periodically, making certain that the dew point is sufficiently removed from the ambient temperature so that condensation cannot take place. Anytime that the steel temperature is lower than the ambient outside temperature, condensation problems are possible. This is particularly true where there are heavy steel masses, such as heavy plate or heavy cross sections of steel. The temperature of the steel, after being exposed overnight, takes a consid-erable period of time to increase to the ambient exterior temperature. In fact, in many cases it does not rise to the air temper-ature even over an entire day’s period. This makes the surface thermometer an extremely handy tool for the inspector. Each day’s work should be finished in consider-able advance of the time when it is possible for condensation to occur on the surface in order to allow a reasonable drying period.

Coating Drying TimeThe inspector should have information concerning the drying time of the various coats being applied. Chlorinated rubber or vinyl coatings, which dry by evapora-tion, often can be recoated within a matter of minutes. This is sometimes necessary

because of contamination fallout. Since they dry primarily by the evaporation of solvents alone, this rapid recoating is not a major problem. However, coatings (such as epoxies) that are internally cured usually require some additional time for curing prior to a following coat. The inspector should know this time so that he or she can judge whether or not the application is being conducted properly.

Also, with coatings such as epoxies, too long of a drying time between coats can be a detriment and may cause intercoat delami-nation. This is especially true with coal tar epoxy coatings. Overnight cure is usually satisfactory for most coatings prior to a second coat. However, in the case of coal tar epoxies, if there is moisture condensation on the surface during the night, inter-coat delamination may easily occur when the following coat is applied. Under these conditions, the surface must be protected from moisture if the coating is to be allowed an overnight cure before application of a following coat.

When inspecting the coverage of the coating, the inspector should be guided more by the DFT than the coverage per

gallon, since it is the DFT that is impor-tant from the standpoint of resistance. The coverage does not indicate whether the coating has been applied smoothly and evenly, and it cannot account for losses due to application conditions such as wind. The DFT of the coating should be measured in numerous spots over the surface to deter-mine the average thickness of the coating. Particular care should be taken in areas of possible thin application, as well as areas that may be overly thick, since a thick film (particularly in the curing-type coatings) may become brittle and lose adhesion because of its thickness alone. Measuring the film thickness for each coat provides time prior to the second coat for any film thickness deficiency to be corrected.!
