4. INSPECTION ACTIVITIES PERFORMED:
REVIEW OF DOCUMENTS:
• Reviewed material certificates for blast abrasive, the products (FBE, Copolymer, and polyethylene) used
for the coating.
• Checked and reviewed the calibration certificates for the equipments
Results: Found Satisfactory after getting the confirmation for shelf life of material and calibration date was
valid for the equipments used.
•Checked climatic condition (temperature, relative humidity, dew point, steel temperature etc.) are recorded
at the specified intervals.
•Performed visual inspection external surface of bare pipe before blasting of gouges and other defects
likely to have a detrimental effect on coating are removed by grinding without reducing the wall thickness.
Results: Satisfactory
•The pipes are then blasted to a cleanliness of SA2 1/2 and blast profile was measured Acceptance criteria
50-100 micrometers-results found within acceptance range.
•Air supply check, abrasive contamination test, no contamination detected. Residual surface chloride before
blasting –found satisfactory (required < 2 μg/cm2) and after blasting found satisfactory (required: N/A), salt
level before blasting found satisfactory (required 3≤ μg /cm2) and after blasting found satisfactory.
Results: Satisfactory

After ensuring heating of pipe checked FBE / Co-polymer and polyethylene application
START PIPE:
As per ITP, before the startup of production, 5 pipes were proceed, 1 pipe fully coated with epoxy, 1 pipe partly
coated with epoxy, adhesive (co-polymer),and polyethylene and the rest of three pipes ware coated with full 3
layer polyethylene coating system.
Visual inspection of FBE & co-polymer is carried out on the pipe and production was started after satisfactory
results on test pipe.
After satisfactory results on test pipe, it is ensured that the same thickness of FBE, co-polymer thickness is
measured checked on partially coated pipe (whenever there is breakdown in production) and found satisfactory
results.
• FBE
Acceptance criteria 250- 300 micrometer – Found within acceptance range-Satisfactory.
• Copolymer
Acceptance criteria 150-250 micrometers – Found within acceptance range-Satisfactory.
• Polyethylene
Dry Film Thickness found between 3.5mm for weld to 4.60 mm for body. Acceptance criteria
3.5mm minimum on pipe body and 3.25mm minimum on weld seam – Found Satisfactory.
