New Waterjetting Standards Replace Withdrawn NACE No. 5By Malcolm McNeil, CIP Committee Chair

In the past we have discussed the coating inspectors responsi-bilities regarding stan-dards or norms. Stan-dards are referenced in the specifications and are used by specifiers to govern the work.

Inspectors must be totally familiar with the referenced standards to plan and perform the inspection function.

In this issue of Inspect This!, I want to review the new waterjetting stan-dards that have replaced NACE No. 5/SSPC-SP 12, which was withdrawn. The replacement for this standard con-sists of four new joint standards: SSPC-SP WJ-1/NACE WJ-1, SSPC-SP WJ-2/NACE WJ-2, SSPC-SP WJ-3/NACE WJ-3, and SSPC-SP WJ-4/NACE WJ-4.

Most of the information included in the four replacement standards is the same as in the withdrawn NACE No. 5/SSPC-SP 12. For instance, the designa-tions of the different pressure levels remain the same: Low-Pressure Water Cleaning (LP

WC) water performed at pressures less than 34 MPa (5,000 psig)

High-Pressure Water Cleaning (HP WC) performed at pressures from 34 to 70 MPa (5,000 to 10,000 psig)

High-Pressure Waterjetting (HP WJ) performed at pressures from 70 to 210 MPa (10,000 to 30,000 psig)

Ultra High-Pressure Waterjetting (UHP WJ) performed at pressures greater than 210 MPa (30,000 psig) The different degrees of cleanliness

required by WJ-1, WJ-2, WJ-3, and

WJ-4 have not changed. It is my under-standing that the NACE No. 5/SSPC-SP 12 standard was withdrawn and re-placed by the four new standards to bring them more in l ine with the NACE/SSPC joint abrasive blast stan-dards as well as the ISO 8501-1 abrasive blast standards.

The new standards state in Para-graph 1.1.1: Clean to Bare Substrate is the waterjet cleaning equivalent to ISO 8501-1 Sa 3 Cleaning to Bare Metal. Paragraph 1.1.2 states: Within the hierarchy of degrees of surface cleanli-ness achieved by waterjet cleaning, Clean to Bare Substrate (WJ-1) is in-tended to be similar to the degree of surface cleanliness of NACE No. 1/ SSPC-SP 5 except that stains are per-mitted to remain on the surface. In addition, Paragraph 3.2.3 states: Di-rect correlation to existing dry abrasive blasting standards and visual com-parators is inaccurate or inappropri-ate. Depending on how you interpret these statements, they appear to be in conf lict with each other and somewhat confusing to the reader. Therefore, it is recommended that for clarification, if needed, one should contact the com-mittee responsible for writing the new standards.

Another change is the information on nonvisible contaminants (soluble salts). In NACE No. 5/SSPC-SP 12 there were three designations for nonvisible contaminants: NV-1, NV-2, and NV-3. Each of these described the amount of nonvisible contaminants that was per-mitted to be left on the surface. The four new standards leave it up to the

specification writer to specify the al-lowable nonvisible contaminants. Nonvisible contaminants are described in Appendix A of the new standards.

The definitions of the Degrees of Flash Rusting are the same in the four new standards as they were in NACE No. 5/SSPC-SP 12. However, in Ap-pendix B of the new standards, some methods of assessing the degree of f lash rust are suggested. These are not mandatory and it is lef t up to the specif ication writer to specify the amount of f lash rust that is acceptable.

As always, safety is a major concern when working with high-pressure equipment. As inspectors, we all know that we are responsible for our own safety and must obey all safety rules.

In summary, while many sections of the WJ-1, WJ-2, WJ-3, and WJ-4 stan-dards are the same as some sections of NACE No. 5/SSPC-SP 12, there are some major changes and inspectors who may be called upon to inspect surfaces that are cleaned by waterjet-ting should study the new standards and become familiar with the require-ments of those referenced. !


It is necessary do a better job of pro-viding our work force with a safe work environment and each one of us should be looking out for our coworkers as we do for ourselves. This is not only the right thing to do, but it is good for business. It is troublesome to me that so many of us within the protective coat-ings profession do not know what is required when providing breathing air

to our workers for blasting and painting purposes. I am speaking about Grade D breathing air and two organizations that provide us with the guidelines for referencethe Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Compressed Gas Association (CGA).

If you are not yet familiar with the requirements of 29 CFR OSHA 1910.1341 and CGA G-7.1,2 then take notice of the

following: Breathing air produced from compressors must meet Grade D re-quirements: Oxygen: 19.5 to 23.5% Oil:

provided, then breathing air must be monitored to contain 10 ppm and warn the worker via visible or audible alarms.

It has been my experience that a lack of CO monitoring, CO alarms, and high-temperature alarms are most com-monly found on older models of com-pressors used when working in the field or at locations other than the shop. Portable diesel and gasoline-fired air compressors are most common in these work settings. Most shops now provide safer breathing air produced from elec-tric compressors but this may not always be the case.

In addition, check daily and before each use that all air hose connections are threaded and tight whenever possi-ble, banded properly, and include safety pins and whip checks. All valves should be functional with handlesdo not rely on a crescent wrench or pliers as a means to shut off valves. An out-of-control bull hose connected to a valve without a handle can impact a workers body or skull. A whip check and valve handle are inexpensive insurance that can prevent a lot of suffering.

Many of us can remember the days when we connected our blast hood air lines to a carbon filter on a compressor not equipped with high-temperature or CO alarms and smelled the pungent odor of oil under the hood. We are lucky to be here to tell those stories. I some-times reflect on my lack of safety knowl-edge in the past and the risks I took many times!

For all of you out in the field doing the work, realize that your employer may not always know everything associated with safety. Many employers rely heavily on the experienced worker to identify field haz-ards and take corrective actions. Hazard-ous conditions need to be brought to the employers attention to bring about the necessary changes that will make the work-place safer. Not only does the employer rely on experienced workers, but new and in-experienced workers also need guidance in the field from the more experienced work-ers. Sometimes the experience of a co-worker is the difference between injury or death and safely returning home.

Do not be hesitant in approaching your employer with concerns about compressed breathing air that may not meet the requirements since its your life in balance. Also, do not hesitate to share your knowledge with less experienced workers in the field. Always consider those loved ones at home relying on you to walk through that door each night and continue to provide for their needs.

Remember also that injuries in the work place reflect negatively upon the entire industry, not just those directly involved. Todays industry has adopted a you see it, you own it type of mentality.

If you witness something unsafe, it is your responsibility to take the necessary steps to correct the situation. Sometimes it is as simple as reminding personnel about a safer way to do a job and some-times it involves bringing the issue to a supervisor to correct.

I am extremely proud to have worked in this industry for more than 25 years. I have promised my wife and children to do my part to return home each night in the same condition as I arrived at work and to do what I can to ensure that others do as well.Continued on p. 7


In every industrial environment, the safety factor is an important consid-eration. In some environments, it is of overriding importance. Some of the safety factors that need to be considered in coating application are as follows.

Safety in Surface Preparation

Workers using abrasive blasting equip-ment should be furnished with good equipment in proper working order. They should be equipped with air-filter masks to prevent their breathing dust and scale. Clothing should be adequate and safe. Safety shoes should be worn. Necessary goggles or safety glasses should be man-datory. Ear plugs or protective ear cover-ings should be worn.

No equipment should be operated in areas where it will create sparks that might ignite explosive or f lammable materials. It should not be operated where abrasives, scale, or overspray will damage or interfere with the operation of other equipment.

Some materials, particularly older coatings that are to be removed for re-coating of structures, are considered hazardous and require special safety

procedures. This includes lead-based paints and asbestos-based coatings. These materials, often including the blast media, may not be left on site after re-moval. The participation of an industrial hygienist is often required to develop the plan for removal, capture, and proper disposal of these materials.

Safety in MaterialsCoating materials are frequently flam-

mable, explosive, or poisonous, and some-times all three. The characteristics of any material used should be known in advance, and any necessary precautions must be taken and rigidly maintained during the progress of the job. In summary:1) Coatings incorporating flammable or

explosive materials should not be used in the vicinity of open flames, sparks, or electrical equipment. Every precau-tion should be taken to prevent accidental f ire or explosion by prohibiting smoking, requiring the use of non-sparking tools, or whatever other safety requirements are appropriate.

2) When used in enclosed places, solvent concentrations should be kept both

below the explosive limit and below the acceptable toxicity level. Both limits vary among materials, so safety rules should be a function of materials used. Ventilation of enclosed places should be continuous during the op-eration and for three hours afterward when explosive or flammable solvents are used. Safety-approved electrical equipment is mandatory.Solvent vapors should be removed

from tanks by suction because many vapors are heavier than air. Thus, the remotest and lowest ends of tanks should receive special attention. Workers should wear approved compressed-air masks. Shoes should have rubber soles and heels and no exposed steel nails.

Safety in EquipmentWhenever ventilation is a factor, it

should be planned carefully and checked frequently. When necessary, automatic equipment should be used to make con-stant checks of air for poisons or explo-sive concentrations. All riggings, lifts, platforms, hoses, or any other equip-ment used on the job should be in-spected and maintained in safe order. Rigging should be done by experienced operators.

Sources of Safety Information

Plant safety practices should be known and understood by plant paint crews or by outside crews doing contract work. In addition, the advice of plant safety engi-neers should be solicited and recommen-dations followed. Published information is available from technical and trade as-sociations, testing bureaus, and most important, is usually printed on labels and instruction sheets received with materials and equipment. All personnel should be experienced and properly trained, including Operator Qualifica-tion (OQ) training, where applicable.!
