The 2% ferricyanide paper method will generally be used to determine the chloride
contamination as described below:
1. Apply de-mineralized water on approximate 12 cm² area of substrate and wait for 3 to 4
minutes.
2. Remove excess moisture by patting the substrate with clean lint free cloth.
3. Press a ferricyanide paper of approximate 12 cm² area against the substrate for
approximately 5 seconds and remove the paper.
4. Total absence of blue spots on paper indicates the substrate is free from soluble salts
5. Light speckling paper indicates the substrate has still contamination but it is as the
acceptance level. The component should be released for further process.
6. Large blue spots on the paper indicate the substrate is heavily contaminated.
7. In this case the following procedure to be done before coating.
i. Pressures wash the substrate with copious amount of town water.
ii. Dry the substrate completely.
iii. Re-blasts the surface.
iv. Follow the salt contamination checking procedure again till you get the desired
results.
8. The Ferricyanide papers should be stored by vendor in air tight container before and after
use and the shelf life of Ferricyanide paper shall be one month.
The abrasive to be used will be checked for dryness by taking a small quantity of abrasive on a filter
/tissue paper and checking of traces of moisture absorbed in the filter/tissue paper. Frequency of test
shall be once in day prior to blasting operation.
Compressed air to be used for blasting shall be free from oil & moisture and shall be tested adopting
“Blotter Test” by vendor. A piece of blasting Paper will be held in front of blast hose nozzle to check for
traces of oil/moisture captured by the blotting Paper. Frequency of test shall be once in day prior to
blasting operation.

7.2 SURFACE PREPARATION METHODS:
The method of surface preparation dry abrasive manual blasting shall be done as follows:
1. Surface to be coated shall be abrasive blasted. Before this operation, removal of existing coating to be
carried out by chipping, grinding or by other suitable means. The walls of the tanks are painted with
min 60µ DFT of Red Oxide Phosphate(rust proof primer), which is to be removed by vendor during
blasting. Clean & dry Copper Slag Abrasive shall be used for ferrous base substrate.
2. Bidder is requested to go through all sections of the Typical GAD drawing of Slurry tank. Vendor my
raise their observations during pre-bid query. Any other new requirements brought forward during
technical evaluation stage shall not be considered by BHEL.
3. The minimum recommended compressed air required for Blasting shall be 7.0 m3/min at 6 kg/cm²
pressure. NACE No.1/SSPC-SP-5 equivalent to SA 2½ of Swedish Standard blast profile (75 to 100
Microns) to be followed for cleaning the surface.
4. The blasted surface shall be cleaned with dry compressed air/vacuum cleaner or with clean brush so
that there is no presence of Dust & other foreign material. The surface will be then checked for
chloride contamination (Refer Clause.5.1 for Chloride contamination check procedure). If
contamination is found then the surface to be washed and reblasted till contamination gets removed.
Vendor to ensure that the blasted surface free from chloride contamination
5. When cleanliness and blast profile are acceptable, the masking tape adjacent to the area to be coated
shall be peeled back to prevent overlap and subsequent edge contamination.
6. If the blasted surface has not been primed within specified time or if there is any previous visible sign
of blast condition change then the surface shall be checked for metallic salt contamination and shall
be reblasted. Where large areas are required to be blasted in a day, blasting shall be carried out from
morning to evening ensuring weather condition. This shall be followed by a light sweep blast of the
entire area, before priming. The blast cleaned surface shall be blown off with dry oil free compressed
air or vacuum cleaned. A cell tape shall be thoroughly pasted to the cleaned surfaces. The tape shall
be removed after a minute to check presence of dust if any. Comparator shall be used by vendor for
checking the blast profile.
This section deals with the methods & requirements of coating application.
8.1 MIXING:
1. All coating material tins shall be individually stirred thoroughly to obtain a homogenous consistency.
2. While doing spray application, the tins which come in pre measured kits will be fully mixed individually
using a pneumatic stirrer. While doing hand application only small batches of 1 Kg. capacity shall be
taken. Here the mixing will be done by using a metal spatula.
3. The mixing ratios as specified in the respective data sheet will be strictly adhered to. The base will be
weighed out in kgs using mechanical weighing machines calibrated at site using any standard factory
packed commercial product available freely in the market. The catalyst will be measured out in ML using
marked syringes or measuring cylinders.

The completed linings shall be allowed to cure for a minimum of 48 hrs at 30°C prior to being placed
in service. However, curing time shall be as per the datasheet provided by vendor for a proven
material.
2. Finish:
It is to be noted that the coating will follow the profile of substrate. Any unevenness or other defects
in the substrate may be reflected in the finish coating also. The finished coating shall have a
matt/semi-glossy finish. A few local paint sag marks will not affect performance of coating and cannot
be completely avoided. Hence this is permitted.
After the completion of lining, the following tests shall be conducted by the vendor to assess
the quality of glass flake lined surfaces.
1. Lining shall be visually inspected to ensure that it shall be free from poor weed out fibers, entrapped
air and exposed fires. The Glass flake lining shall also be subjected to testing at site as per relevant
standards.
2. Testing of coatings is normally carried out as soon as they are sufficiently cured to give true thickness
& to withstand damage by the test equipment. If defects are found, repair will be carried out as per
clause 10.0
3. Spark test shall be carried out at appropriate areas in the presence of Purchaser. Vendor should
conduct holiday test as per relevant standards. If the performance is found not to meet the
requirements as specified, the Glass flake lining shall be rectified or replaced by the Vendor without
any additional cost to the Purchaser. The repair shall be carried out as per clause 10.0

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR GLASS FLAKE LINING OF SLURRY TANKS
4. Proper documentation with details of tests conducted by the vendor for evaluation of glass flake lining
shall be submitted to the purchaser.
1. If the exposed or damaged surface less than 10cm² then such repair can be carried out without grit
blasting. Any area in excess of this amount should be grit blasted using a vacuum blaster where
possible.
2. In case of damage area less than 10cm² then it can be repaired as following.
a. De-contaminate surrounding area by using a suitable solvent such as methylated spirit,
acetone, xylene etc. After washing clean and allow solvent to evaporate.
b. Roughen up exposed metal & clean using rotary wire brush or a coarse emery paper with at
least 60 grade grit. Brush away residues then further roughen surface of the existing
coating up to 100 mm away from the damaged area. Brush away residues & ensure the
whole area is clean.
c. Apply a thin coat of material to the surface of the exposed metal only taking care not to
cover more than a few millimetre of the existing coating. Allow this freshly applied material
to become tack-free.
d. Brush styrene monomer over the whole surface to be repaired (i.e. the whole area
roughened by emery) & allow to evaporate from the surface.
e. Apply at least 2 main coats material over the treated area taking care not to brush on to
any roughened or contaminated areas. The Glass flake should be allowed to harden
sufficiently to bear the weight of next coat before application of further coats. However it
does not need to be tack-free between coats.
The lining shall be guaranteed for uninterrupted minimum life of 25,000 hrs. Performance
parameters to be guaranteed by the vendor and tolerances permitted shall be as indicated in the
data sheet. Glass Flake lining or any portion thereof is liable for rejection, if it fails to give any of the
