Against this 30% value, representing the erection cost,the labour component in the erection cost shall be taken as 40%. On this basis, thepayable/deductible price variation towards erection shall be computed as per thefollowing formula:

V = W x 0.40 x 0.3 (X – X0)X0

Where

V = Escalation or de-escalation payable or deductable.

W = Value of the work done based on the accepted composite rates of theBill of Quantities for the period for which variation is applicable.

2.0 STANDARDS

2.1 For work executed in India, all materials, tools andworkmanship shall be in accordance with the latest editions of relevant Indian Standards published by the Indian StandardsInstitution, wherever available. IS:1303 gives the glossary of terms. Where Indian Standards are not available, the work shallconform to generally accepted codes of practice for good paintingbased on specifications such as those published by SteelStructures Painting Council (SSPC), 4400 Fifth Avenue,Pittsburgh, Pa 15213, USA, or as per DIN 55928. A list of applicable and related standards is given in Annexure-1 hereof.

2.2 For work executed outside India, painting and surface protection

shall be carried out and tested as per the standards laid down inthis specification. Detailed instructions on such aspects as arenot indicated herein shall be as per the codes and practicesindicated in the latest specifications of SSPC or DIN or as perthe National Standards Institution of the country of origin or thecodes of practices recommended by the paint manufacturers of the country of origin.

3.0 SURFACE PREPARATION

3.1 Surface preparation being a pre-requisite for any paint

application, shall be such as to clean the surface thoroughly of any materials which will be conducive to premature failure of thepaint substrata.



VSP-6.3/GS-P-01

3-15

3.2 All surfaces shall be cleaned of loose substances and foreignmaterials, such as dirt, rust, scale, oil, grease, welding flux etcirrespective of whether the same has been spelt out in thestandards in order that the prime coat is rigidly anchored to the

virgin metal surface. The surface cleaning shall conform topictorial representation of surface quality grade of Swedish

Standards Institution SIS 05 5900 or equivalent standards suchas SSPC-VIS-1.67 or DIN 55928 (Part 4) or BS 4232 or IS:1411(Part I). In this specification, relative equivalent standards of surface preparation quality grade to be adopted in respect of SIS055900 are presented in Annexure-2 for ready reference. Any oil,grease, dust or foreign matter deposited on the surface afterpreparation shall be removed and care taken that the surface isnot contaminated with acids, alkalis, moisture or other corrosivechemicals. The prime coat shall be applied as soon as possibleafter the surface preparation is completed. The time gap shall

not extend 4 hours for relative humidity not exceeding 75 percent, and within one hour for hire relative humidity.

3.3 The acceptable surface preparation standards are describedunder each paint system. The procedures covered are solventcleaning, hand tool cleaning, power tool cleaning, flamecleaning, blast cleaning, pickling or combination thereof. Theseare briefly described below.

3.3.1 Solvent Cleaning

The surface is cleaned by wiping, immersion, spraying or vapourcontacting of a suitable solvent or washing with an emulsion oralkaline solution or chemical paint stripper. The methodeffectively removes oil, grease, dirt, soil, drawing compounds, oldpaint and other similar foreign matters but does not removerust, scales, mill scales or weld slag. Also, hydrocarbon solventsdo rot remove corrosive salts such as chloride and sulphate.

Therefore, before application of paint, solvent cleaning isnormally to be followed by other cleaning procedures.

3.3.2 Hand Tool Cleaning

The surface is cleaned to St-2 or St-3 quality as required, by vigorous wire brushing done manually. Chipping and scraping isusually carried out before wire brushing; oil and grease areremoved by solvent cleaning before hand tool cleaning. Onwelded work, before wire brushing, particular care shall betaken to remove by blast cleaning, washing with water,phosphate rinsing or power tool cleaning as much welding flux,

slag and fume deposit as is possible. This method effectively removes loosely adherent materials but would not affect residuesof rust or mill-scales that are intact and firmly adherent.



VSP-6.3/GS-P-01

4-15

3.3.3 Power Tool Cleaning

The surface is cleaned to St-3 quality, by electric or pneumatictools, such as brushes, sanding machines, sanding discs,abrasive grinders, chipping, hammers, descalars, needle guns

and rotary descalers. Oil and grease are first removed by solventcleaning and heavy rust scale removed prior to use of power

tools. The tools are used carefully to prevent excessiveroughening of surface and formation of ridges and burrs; also,care is taken to avoid mill scale being burnished to a smooth,slick surface. This method will remove loosely adherent materialbut would not affect residues of rust, or mill scales that areintact and firmly adherent.

3.3.4 Flame Cleaning

The surface is cleaned by rapid heating up by means of

oxyacetylene flame to loosen the adherent scales, followedimmediately by wire brushing. Oil and grease are first removedby solvent cleaning and all accessible welding flux and spattersremoved before application of flame. The surface is also cleanedof all unbound mill-scale and dehydrated by the passage of oxyacetylene flame adjusted to have neutral characteristics. Thismethod will remove loosely adherent materials as well as most of the adherent scales and mill-scales. In order to minimise orprevent distortion, flame cleaning shall not be used on membershaving thickness of 6 mm or lower.

3.3.5 Blast Cleaning

The surface is cleaned by impingement of abrasive materials,such as graded sand or grit of cast iron, malleable iron, steel orsynthetic material at high velocity created by clean and dry compressed air blast. Prior to application of the blast, heavy deposits of oil and grease are removed by solvent cleaning andexcessive surface scale removed by hand tool or power toolcleaning. This method will remove loosely adherent materials aswell as adherent scales and mill scales. The extent of removal of adherent scales is varied, depending on the application, and aredefined by the surface quality grades Sa 1, Sa 2, Sa 2½ and Sa 3

in the order of increasing cleanliness. Blast cleaning is notrecommended for sheet metal items.

3.3.6 Pickling

In this method the surface is cleaned of mill scales, rust andrust scales by chemical reaction or electrolysis or both.

Normally, pickling is done in a bath of dilute sulphuric,hydrochloric or phosphoric acid, with or without heating,followed by thorough rinsing with fresh water to remove the acidtraces. Pickling in sulphuric acid may be followed by dipping in

phosphoric acid containing iron phosphate. Prior to picklingheavy deposits of oil, grease, soil, drawing compounds andforeign matters other than rust, scales or oxides are removed by



VSP-6.3/GS-P-01

5-15

solvent cleaning. This method will remove loosely adherent aswell as adherent scales and mill scales.

3.3.7 Degreasing, Pickling and Phosphating

Surface preparation for shop painting of sheet metal items likeelectrical control panels, desks, etc. may be done in seven or

nine tank systems of solvent cleaning and pickling, followed by giving the cleaned surface a thin coating (of not less than 5 gmper sq m) zinc, iron or manganese phosphate deposited either by immersion or powder spray. The phosphate coating shall betested, when required, by a continuous salt spray as per ASTMB 117, for a period of not less than 96 hours.

described in IS:817 and IS:7310/7318 whichever is relevant.

The Engineer/ Consultant may at his own discretion order

periodic tests of the welders and/or of the welds produced by

them. Such tests shall be carried out at the expense of the

Contractor. Contractor shall ensure that the welders carry

their identification badges with photographs clearly

indicating date of tests and validity of approval etc on it.

1.6.1 Where welding is specified in the erection of structures

tested welders as certified by the Engineer/Consultant forthe type of welding involved, are to be employed by the

Contractor. The welders are classified as follows:

Grade-I .. Can do good welding in horizontal and

vertical as well as overhead positions.

Grade-II .. Can do good welding in horizontal and

vertical positions.

Grade-III .. Can do good welding only in

horizontal positions.

Only Grade-I welders will be employed for welding of all

important structures and joints and also for work in the

overhead and difficult position and as decided by the

Engineer/Consultant. Grade-II welders for work in vertical

position and Grade-III welders for jobs on the ground only

shall be allowed.

1.7 Welding procedure

1.7.1 Welding procedure shall be prepared by the Contractor in

line with IS:7307 and tests shall be carried out to qualify theprocedure. Once the welding procedure is qualified, it shall

Page 9 of 30



be strictly followed and no variation shall be permitted

without the Engineer/Consultant's approval. Welding

procedure shall cover the following:

i) Type and size of electrode/wire flux combination;

ii) Arc current for MMAW and for SAW, FCAW, GMAW &

ESW and others current and voltage;

iii) Speed of deposition and length of run per electrode

or for other continuous processes welding speed or

speed of travel of welding head;

iv) Number and arrangement/disposition of runs in

multi-run welds;

v) Position of welding;

vi) Joint preparation and set up of parts;

vii) Preheating and post weld heating details;

1.7.3 The Contractor shall record the approved welding procedure

and shall ensure compliance of the same by each welder.

Each welder shall be provided by the Contractor with all

details of welding procedure. The approved procedure shall

be re-checked and updated by the Contractor as and when

directed by the Engineer/Consultant.

1.8 On job welding

1.8.1 The sequence of welding shall be so planned and followed

that there shall be a balance of welding about the neutralaxis of the fabrication. The Contractor shall employ sufficient

number of welders working at the same time in the diagonal

quadrants of a large job using back step method. The rate of

progress of each welder shall be more or less equal and

quality uniform at all times.

1.8.2 The general direction of welding shall be towards the free end

of the joint, but in a long joint back-step technique shall be

used to reduce distortion.

1.8.3 For shell welding, the vertical joints shall be first welded to a

circular course and the completed circular course shall bealigned and adjusted for correct axes prior to welding of the

Page 10 of 30



horizontal circumferential seam to minimise initial locked-up

stresses. Alternatively, the Contractor shall complete each

course in all respects on ground and then the pre-assembled

course shall be lifted and placed in position. In such a

sequence and planning the same principle of balancing of

weld about the neutral axis shall be followed and the methodof fabrication of each course shall be similar to fabrication of

penstock pipes or transmission/industrial pipeline of bigger

diameter.

face shall be deposited proud of the surface of the parent

metal. Where a flush surface is required the surplus metal

shall be dressed off. Reinforcement on both surfaces in butt

welded splices shall be ground flush with the parent plate by

grinding operation in the direction of stress.

1.8.7 Minimum leg length and throat thickness in fillet welds: The

minimum leg length of a fillet weld as deposited shall not be lessthan the specified size. A concave weld shall not be deposited,

unless specifically permitted. In case a concave fillet profile is

permitted, then the leg length shall be increased above that

specified, so that the resultant throat thickness is as great as

would have been obtained by the deposition of a flat-faced weld of

the specified leg length. Welds with unequal leg lengths shall be

avoided as far as possible.

1.8.8 Deslagging: After making each run of welding, all slag shall

be thoroughly removed and the surface cleaned.

ultrasonic test, the welded joint shall be thoroughly cleaned

of slag and other materials. Ultrasonic operator shall be

qualified Level II of ASNT or equivalent and the Engineer/

Consultant at his discretion may test the operator. The

ultrasonic test must be recorded through standard

equipment and the same must be enclosed with the report.

Use of proper probe size, frequency and type shall be made to

ensure accurate detection of defects. Probing shall be carriedout from multiple directions to avoid directionality or

orientation effect of the defect. Type of defects shall be

identified and recorded to help in taking decisions regarding

acceptability.
