FOREWORD
This document forms part of the suite of Single Buoy Moorings Inc (SBM) Corporate
Engineering Standards (CES).
These documents are intended for use on SBM leased FPSO and FSO projects, or on
projects for other Clients where SBM standards have been accepted. As such, all
Companies within the SBM Offshore Group, and their nominated subcontractors, shall use
them.
The objective of these SBM Corporate Engineering Standards is to provide a fit-for-purpose

set of minimum design standards, which incorporate project execution feedback from recent
SBM projects as well as operational experience from the SBM Production Contractor’s fleet
of vessels.
The Corporate Engineering Standards are intended to be general, not project specific, and
will have a lower order of precedence than Client Specifications, Class Rules, Flag State
Regulations and Local Legislation. It is therefore intended that for use within a project, each
Corporate Engineering Standard is supplemented by a Project Specification, which will
identify changes required due to the above higher precedence items.
This Standard has been derived from NORSOK Standard Number P-100 “Process Systems,
Rev. 4”, with the permission of the Norwegian Technical Standards (NTS) Institute. Sections
that have been modified from this NORSOK standard to meet SBM specific requirements are
shown in Italics.
This Corporate Engineering Standard has been reviewed and found satisfactory as per the
requirements of the applicable ABS Rules, Guides, IMO MODU Code and other standards
listed below:
* ABS Guide for Building and Classing Floating Production Installations, (FPI) 2004
* ABS Guide for Building and Classing Facilities on Offshore Installations, (Facilities Guide) 2000
* ABS Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessel, (SV Rules) 2005
* ABS Rules for Building and Classing Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODU Rules) 2001
* 1989 IMO MODU Code, including Amendments (Consolidated Edition 2001)
ABS Approval letter ref no: 476072 dated 23-Dec-2004.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
This Corporate Engineering Standard (CES) defines the minimum requirements for
material, surface preparation, application, and inspection related to the corrosion
prevention for the construction or conversion of FPSOs/FSOs and for construction of
CALM Terminals.
In particular this CES contains the minimum requirements for:

• Paint systems selection.
• Coating works execution (e.g. surface preparation, paint application, equipment,
personnel qualification, etc…)
• Hot Dip Galvanising.
• Passive Fire Protection.
• Inspection and quality control.
• Health, safety and environment.
Internal lining for the process vessels and piping is not covered by this CES. Reference is
made to the CES SOF 92061 “Materials – Internal Lining – Standard Specification”.
This CES is applicable to structural steel (including under thermal insulation of carbon
steel and non-ferrous metals), equipment and material supplied, as well as equipment free
issued by COMPANY.
It is the intent that all surfaces are to be coated unless specifically mentioned otherwise
(refer to section 3.9.2).
1.2 DOCUMENT PURPOSE
The purpose of this CES is to describe the requirements to achieve a target useful life up
to 15 years of all coatings with a minimum of maintenance repair during the service of the
facility.
This CES is intended to be general, not prepared for a specific project. Therefore
according to the provisions of this CES a Project Coating Specification shall be
prepared taking in due consideration the followings factors:
• Expected design life of the facility.
• Operating environmental conditions of the facility or its components.
• Substrate operating temperature.
• Specific project requirements.
• Existing coating condition in case of FPSO/FSO conversion.
• Yard standard practice.

1.3 DEFINITIONS OF TERMS
In addition to CES ES45000 SVF 92046 “General Condition and Data Standard
Specification” the following terms are defined for use in this CES:
“COAT” is a continuous layer of a coating material resulting from a single application.
“COATING” is the liquid, liquefiable, mastic, powder or any other composition and material
that after application to a substrate, is converted into a solid protective adherent film.
“COATING MATERIAL” is the liquid, liquefiable, mastic, powder or any other composition
and material intended to be applied on a defined surface.
“COMPANY” is the party issuing inquiry or contract for coating project, or nominated
representative.
“CONTRACTOR” is the party that performs paint removal, surface preparation and
coating application on offshore structures, and to whom the coating project has been
contracted.
“DESIGN LIFE” is the period of time for which a facility is expected to perform its intended
function.
“DRY FILM THICKNESS” is the thickness of a coating remaining over the peaks of a
rough surface when the coating has hardened.
“DURABILITY” is the expected life of a protective paint system to first major maintenance
painting, as defined in ISO 12944-1.
“GUARANTEE PERIOD” is not a durability range. Durability is a technical consideration

whereas the guarantee period is a consideration that is the legal subject of clauses in the
administrative part of a contract.
“LIFE CYCLE COSTS” are the overall costs of protecting a facility throughout its life. They
depend on the costs and the durability of the initial coating in the particular environment
and, on the costs and frequency of any subsequent maintenance where the required life
exceeds that of the initial coating.
“MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET” is a document designed to provide information

regarding the health and safety aspects of a coating material or thinner.
“NOMINAL DRY FILM THICKNESS” is the dry film thickness specified for each coat or for
the whole paint system.
“PAINT MANUFACTURER” is the party producing and supplying the coating materials,
and providing an advisory role in all processes associated with the coating project.
“PAINT SYSTEM” is the sum total of the coats of metal materials and/or paints or related
products that are to be applied or which have been applied to a substrate to provide
corrosion protection.
“PRODUCT DATA SHEET” is a document designed to provide information on a specific

coating material.

“STRIPE–COAT” is an additional coat of paint applied usually by brush on difficult-to-

reach areas and on weld seams, edges, bolts, nuts, etc, to provide specified film
thickness.
“SUBSTRATE” is the solid surface intended to be coated or lined with the specified
coating system.
“TARGET USEFUL LIFE” is the target value, in years, of the durability for which the
coating system is designed.
For any additional definition used in the coating industry, refers to standard ISO 4618 –
Part 1 and Part 2 and to “Industrial Maintenance Coatings Glossary” published by SSPC.

4. SURFACE PREPARATION
4.1 GENERAL
Unless indicated otherwise, all fabrication and assembly shall be completed before
surface preparation begins. All hot-works shall be completed in all areas intended to be
coated, as well as in the adjacent areas and tanks. The steel work shall be confirmed
finished before any surface preparation starts.
Surface preparation method shall be selected in accordance with the grades reported in
the applicable paint system sheet of this CES.
As general rule, all surfaces to be coated shall be cleaned to the specified preparation
grade to obtain a surface that meets the requirements defined in the appropriate paint
system Sheet of Chapter 16.
4.2 PRE-CLEANING OF SURFACES
Prior to any surface preparation (abrasive blasting, power tooling, water-jetting, etc.), any
oil, grease, welding fumes residue, and other fatty materials, shall be removed by
appropriate solvents in accordance with standard SSPC-SP 1 Solvent Cleaning.
Petroleum, kerosene, diesel oil or other fatty solvents shall not be used.
All bolt-holes shall be solvent cleaned prior to abrasive blasting.
No acid washes or other cleaning solutions or solvents shall be used on steel surfaces
after they are abrasive blasted. This includes inhibitive washes intended to prevent
rusting.
Fresh water used for washing and rinsing shall have chlorides content not higher than
25ppm.
All welding areas and appurtenances shall be given special attention for removal of
welding flux in crevices. The welded area shall be free from alkaline residues before
blasting.
After abrasive blasting or power tool cleaning and prior to coat, all surfaces shall be
examined for traces or smudges of oil or grease. If any exist, they shall be removed by
solvent washing and the area re-cleaned as originally provided.
All metal surfaces to be coated which do not require abrasive blasting or power tool
cleaning shall be thoroughly cleaned and/or degreased with a high-pressure water or
steam cleaning unit to remove all mud, oil, grease, or other foreign matter.
4.3 STEEL & WELD IMPERFECTIONS
It is unpractical to apply some of the requirements below to the surface preparation of

existing steelwork. Part of this chapter is therefore not applicable to refurbishment works
but only to new steel structure. Applicable requirements will be detailed on a case by case
basis in the Project Coating Specification.
Welding shots, drops and spatters, pores in welding seams, lamination defects, edges,
flame cuts, fragments and dents or any other foreign material not removed during

construction have to be considered imperfections and therefore shall be removed before

surface preparation.
The steel imperfections detected before, during or after surface preparation shall be
removed with suitable power tools according to the requirements and drawings of
standard ISO 8501-3 as follows:
• Grade P2: for all surfaces intended to be permanent or intermittent immersed,
surfaces exposed to environment, tanks, voids and cofferdams, sealed compartments.

flame or mechanical knife cutting shall be chamfered and smoothed.
• Grade P1: for all other surfaces (surfaces not exposed to environment such as but not
limited to interior areas of accommodation, engine and pump room, insulated
piping…).
The removal of welding defects and/or steel imperfections shall not have negative impact
on the integrity of the weld seams and of the steel material. In particular the minimum
design thickness of the steel materials shall not be compromised. In case the removal of
weld imperfections needs a re-welding operation, the applicable fabrication specification
shall be followed.
4.4 ABRASIVE BLAST CLEANING
4.4.1 General
Abrasive blast cleaning shall be always performed according to the SSPC standard
reported in the paint system sheet of this CES.
After abrasive blasting, all metal shall be free of rust, grease, dirt, water-soluble salts,
corrosion products, oxides, paint, and any other foreign matter according to the specified
standard requirements. Final appearance shall be checked and conform to Visual
Standard for Abrasive Blast Cleaned Steel SSPC-VIS 1.
At completion of abrasive blast cleaning the surface shall be dust-free prior to the
application of the primer coat. This can be accomplished by using an industrial vacuum
cleaner together with a stiff brush. Surface cleanliness shall be checked and conform to
Class 2 of standard ISO 8502-3.
The maximum acceptable total water-soluble salts contamination on abrasive blasted

surfaces before application of any primer shall be as follows:
• 3µg/cm2 for stainless steel surfaces.
• 5µg/cm2 for the permanent or intermittent immersed areas.
• 10µg/cm2 for all other areas (surfaces exposed to environment...)
If approved by Paint Manufacturer, derogations to those levels are accepted.
Extraction of contaminants from surface shall be done according to standard ISO 8502-6
and quantitative determination of total water-soluble salts shall be performed according to

4.4.2 Equipment for abrasive blast cleaning
The compressed air supply used for abrasive blasting shall be free of water and oil.
Adequate separators and traps shall be provided and these shall be kept emptied of water
and oil. Accumulations of water and oil shall be removed from the air receiver by regular
purging. Control of the compressed air cleanliness shall be done according to standard
ASTM D 4285.
In no circumstance compressed air temperature shall be more than 100°C and pressure
lower than 650kPa measured at the nozzles.
Where air operated equipment is used, the operator's hood or head gear shall be
ventilated by clean cool air served through a regulator filter to prevent blasting residues
from being inhaled by the operator.
4.4.3 Abrasives
All abrasive materials used for blast cleaning shall be dry and clean and shall be tested for
water-soluble salts content. Conductivity measured according to standard ISO 11127-6,
shall not exceed 250µS/cm at 20°C.
Non-metallic abrasives shall meet the requirements of standard ISO 11126 Parts 1÷8.
Tests and controls shall be done according to standard ISO 11127 Part 1÷7.

and controls shall be done according to standard ISO 11125 Part 1÷7.
Abrasive type and size shall be selected in order to assure the profile and roughness of
substrate reported in the applicable paint system sheet of this CES. Surface
profile/roughness shall be measured according to standard NACE RP0287.
For safety and health reason in no circumstance the use of silica abrasive shall be
allowed.
4.4.4 Techniques and restrictions
Blast cleaning shall not be conducted when the surfaces are less than 3°C above dew
point or when the relative humidity of the air is above 85% (or as per Manufacturer
recommendations).
To prevent dust and abrasive contamination, abrasive blasting shall not be done in open
areas close to painting operations or wet-coated surfaces.
Where rectification has been necessary on abrasive blast cleaned surfaces, the dressed
areas shall be re-blasted and then freed of spent abrasives to provide adequate profile.
Blasting shall continue a minimum of 100mm into any adjacent coated areas. The edges
of old paint are to be feathered, and a check is to be made for compatibility of new paint
over old paint to ensure that new paint does not soften and lift old paint particularly at the
feathered edges.
Any surfaces not primed and/or wetted by rain or moisture shall be re-blasted prior to
coating.
All cleaned surfaces shall be primed before rust bloom occurs.

4.5 POWER TOOL CLEANING
Power tool cleaning shall be done in certain instances (e.g. difficult-to-reach-areas, repair
and touch-ups, erection weld), and shall conform to standards SSPC-SP 3 “Power Tool
Cleaning” or SSPC-SP 11 “Power Tool Cleaning to Bare Metal” according to the
requirements of paint system sheet of this CES.
Surfaces which can’t be abrasive blasted due to e.g. their location shall be cleaned by
“scotch-brite” and/or power tool (e.g. needle gun) cleaning, only after COMPANY
approval.
On completion of power tool cleaning the surface shall be dust-free prior to the application
of the primer coat. This can be accomplished by using an industrial vacuum cleaner
together with a stiff brush. Surface cleanliness shall be checked and conform to Class 2 of
4.6 WATERJETTING
When appropriate and specifically required by this CES cleaning by waterjetting shall be
performed according to standard SSPC-SP 12.
Since waterjetting does not produce a surface profile of the magnitude currently
recognized by the coating industry, in no circumstance will it be accepted as an alternative
to abrasive blast cleaning.
Where waterjetting is intended to be used for refurbishment, suitability of the coating

system with such a surface preparation shall be checked with Paint Manufacturer.
According to standard SSPC-SP 12 the following definitions and pressure ranges for
waterjetting are adopted in this CES:
• Low-Pressure Water Cleaning (LP WC): Water cleaning performed at pressures less
than 34 MPa (5,000 psi).
• High-Pressure Water Cleaning (HP WC): Water cleaning performed at pressures from
34 to 70 MPa (5,000 to 10,000 psi).
• Non-visible Contamination (NV): Non-visible contamination is the presence of organic
matter, such as very thin films of oil and grease, and/or soluble ionic materials such as
chlorides, ferrous salts, and sulphates that remain on the substrate after cleaning.
• Visible Surface Cleanliness (VC): Visible surface cleanliness is the visible condition of
the substrate, when viewed without magnification, after cleaning.
4.7 SURFACE PREPARATION OF STAINLESS STEEL & SPECIAL ALLOYS
The surface preparation of stainless steel and special alloys shall be performed only when
these surfaces have to be coated (see Section 3.9.3). In this case abrasive blasting will be
executed with the only purpose to rough the metallic surface according to the requirement
listed in the relevant paint system sheet. The blasted profile shall be measured according
to standard NACE RP0287.
Mineral abrasive material (e.g. Garnet) shall be used for abrasive blasting of stainless
steel, in no case steel abrasive material shall be used. Copper slag abrasive can be used
after execution of a patch test and subject to COMPANY approval.

4.8 SURFACE PREPARATION OF HOT DIP GALVANISED STEEL
All steel surfaces hot dip galvanised, before being coated with the paint system provided
in the relevant sheet shall be cleaned as follow:
• Cleaning and degreasing according to standard SSPC-SP 1
• All galvanising irregularities (zinc high spots, etc.) shall be removed by power tooling
taking care that the zinc layer is not completely removed.
• Galvanised surface shall be roughened by abrasive sweep or brush blasting
according to ASTM D 2092 or, alternatively to other method reported in the standard
ASTM D 2092, approved by COMPANY.
4.9 SURFACE PREPARATION OF SHOP-PRIMED STEEL
All shop-primed surfaces shall be cleaned by high-pressure fresh water washing (approx
20MPa) and, by simultaneous scrubbing with stiff brush, if necessary, to remove zinc salt,
chalk marks and other contaminants.
As a general rule on the surfaces intended to be permanently or intermittently immersed,

cofferdams, sealed compartments, and those exposed to severe environment, or when
the specified paint system requires it, the shop-primer shall be blasted off and the surface
prepared in accordance with standard SSPC-SP 10.
On other external areas, the shop-primed surfaces shall be cleaned in accordance with
standard SSPC-SP 7, while weld seams, rusted spots and any other damages shall be
cleaned according to standard SSPC-SP 10.
In case the abrasive blast cleaning is not feasible or is considered dangerous for the
equipment already installed, power tooling in accordance with grade SPSS-Pt 3 of JSRA
standard should be implemented as alternative after COMPANY approval.
On other internal areas of accommodation and engine room not exposed to environment
and immersion, damage of the shop-primer shall be cleaned by power tooling in
accordance with grade SPSS-Pt 3 of JSRA standard.
All welded parts, areas mechanically or thermally damaged (burnt and rusted areas),
rusted areas of steel structure owing to shop-primer decay due to its exposure for a longer

CONTRACTOR shall always use the RAL colour code numbers for purchasing the paint.
In the selection table of paint systems some colours are mentioned without a RAL colour
code number. These paint systems have limited standard colours, which are not defined
with a RAL colour code.
No RAL colour code shall be defined for primer and anticorrosive coats. The colour of
these coats will be according to PAINT MANUFACTURER standard colours, provided that
they have a contrasting colour when forming a paint system sequence.
14.4.2 FPSO/FSO Piping
Colour selection of piping for FPSO/FSO is defined in selection table of Section 14.1.
The following exceptions shall apply:
• RAL 1023 shall be replaced by RAL 3011 for piping on first two levels in the main
piperack.
• RAL 1023 shall be replaced by RAL 3011 for piping on main deck.
The colour table is applicable to both insulated and un-insulated piping. The insulation on
the pipes shall not be painted, but only colour banding shall be applied as per Chapter 15.
14.4.3 Exceptions
Vessels to be installed in Brazilian water will not follow the above, but instead shall comply
with Brazilian National Regulation NR-26, which defines specific colour codes for piping

15. COLOUR BANDING
15.1 GENERAL
Colour coding shall be applied to all piping installed on FPSO and FSO, including process
modules, as well as CALM Terminals by means of painted bands or stickers, to facilitate
identification of the fluid and flow direction.
Following notes shall be taken into consideration:

1) The identification colours shall be applied to the exterior of insulated and un-insulated
pipelines. For insulated piping the bands shall be applied over the cladding of the
insulation.
2) Surfaces specially prepared by equipment manufacturers for corrosion protection or
appearance (e.g. anodized aluminium), non-ferrous parts and threaded parts of fittings
shall not be colour banded.
3) All paint used for colour banding shall be of the same paint system as applied on the
relevant pipelines. When stickers are used colour samples shall be submitted for
approval to the COMPANY one month before application. Stickers have to be suitable
for offshore environments.
4) The fluid identification colour-coding shall be applied by means of sprayed or brushed
band. Three bands shall be placed at junctions, at both sides of each valves, service
appliance, bulkhead and deck penetration and any other place where the identification
of the fluid is necessary.
15.2 COLOUR BANDS
In principle, the colour code to be applied shall consist of the following colour bands
around the pipe, i.e.:
• For fluid indication: 2 outside bands (X) and 1 centre band (Y)
• For flow indication: 1 or 2 arrow(s) (Z)

The outside bands (X) show the basic identification colour for the particular family of fluids
(refer to Section 15.3).
The centre band (Y) is to identify the particular type of fluid or gas (refer to Section 15.3).
Where no centre band (Y) is required, only one outside band (X) shall be applied.
The arrow band (Z), shall be of the same colour of the basic identification colour (X), and it
is to indicate the flow direction and shall be applied, at a distance equal to its own width,
downstream of the fluid identification combination (XYX).
In case of two directions, a flow indication arrow (Z) shall be applied at each side of the
fluid identification band.
The width of each band is related to the pipe diameter, as shown in the table below.
PIPE O.D. ≤ 6” 6” – 12” 12” – 24” > 24”

Outside bands X mm 90 150 210 270
Center band Y mm 30 50 70 90
Downstream Z mm 30 50 70 90
15.3 COLOUR BANDING SCHEME
The following colour banding scheme shall be used, colour shall conform to Standard RAL
840.
