Arcino Quiero-Chair Michael Damiano-SSPC

Topics

• Standards Update • NBPI Update • Shipboard Organizational Level Training • DoD funding for Training Courses

Standards Update

• PA 2 (2015) • AB 1 (2015) • Wet Abrasive Blast Cleaning Standards (new) • Corrosion Planning Standard (new) • Thermal Spray Application Standard (rev) • SP-1 (rev) • PCP Surface Preparation

PA 2 (2015 revision)

• What’s the same – everything about measurements – Number of readings per spot – Number of spots per area – Averaging of spot measurements – Coating Thickness Restriction Levels – Default minimum and maximum for spot readings

(80%/120%)

PA 2 (2015 revision) • What’s new:

– Use certified standards (NIST plates) to verify Type I gage is reading accurately prior to use, unless gage mfr. permits use of certified plastic shims.

– Use measured shims (thickness imprinted by gage mfrs) to adjust gage for surface characteristics of the steel

– Type I gages that do not read accurately cannot be used unless they are repaired and recalibrated by the manufacturer

PA 2 (2015 revision) • What’s new

– Only record Spot and Area measurements, not individual gage readings unless otherwise specified

– Figure has been inserted to illustrate procedure for determining extent of nonconforming areas

– Clarification of language in Appendix 7 (for exteriors of pipe) and addition of an example for calculating measurement frequency

AB-1 (2015 revision) • What’s the same:

– Definitions of Grades and Classes – Required tests and test frequency – Documentation requirements – Who performs what tests

• What’s changed: – EPA Test Method 7500 for crystalline silica – Requirements for qualification of testing labs no

longer requires NACLA or ILAC accreditation

Mineral Abrasive

Joint Standard for Corrosion Prevention and Control Planning

• Objective – Provide standardized framework for supplier plans to control corrosion on supplied products and structures.

• Current status: – Task Group developing first draft – Next meeting March 18 at NACE Corrosion 2015

in Dallas – Canvass for reviewers expected late March 2015

Thermal Spray Standard (CS 23:00) (revision in progress)

• Current Status – Two ballots have been issued, working on

resolving negatives – Tri-Society Committee of 3 cooperating SDOs must

approve revised draft and determine if reballot is necessary

• Expected completion date: November 2015

SP-1 (revised 2015) • Current Status: SSPC Board of Governors

conducting final review • What’s changed:

– Expanded scope to “metallic substrates” – Added definition of “visible” contaminants – Added non-mandatory notes describing additional

verification methods for nonvisible contaminants (black light, water break, ISO dust, wipe test)

• Expected release date: April 15, 2015

Use & Retention of Pre-Construction Primers on Steel in Shipbuilding

• Objective: Provide guidance on reasons for use and retention of PCPs – Types of PCPs used and where – Secondary SP processes used if PCPs are

retained on substrate

• Current status: Committee has been formed, draft in preparation for ballot

• Expected release: June 2016

NBPI Update • Reflects lessons-learned since 2010 by NAVSEA

personnel • Updated Standard Item information (to FY 16) • Updates changes in commonly used industry

standards since 2010 • Adds new coating materials now approved by

NAVSEA • Updates latest inspection equipment available • New & updated photos • Updated Appendices

Shipboard Org. Level Training

• One-day lecture and one-day hands-on • Intended for sailors with limited corrosion-

control background • Topics include corrosion basics, surface

preparation by solvent, hand/power-tool cleaning (SP 1, 2, 3, 11, and VIS 3

• Overview of NSTM 631 and 634 requirements for hand/power tool cleaning and brush/roll coating application

Department of Defense (DoD) Corrosion Policy and Oversight Office

DoD CPO is providing tuition-free SSPC courses in corrosion prevention and

mitigation to DoD personnel.

The funding is available for the following personnel:

• DoD • Army • Navy • Air Force • Marine Corps

Funding Guidelines

• Funding is on a first come first serve basis. • All other costs (labor / travel / per diem, etc)

are to be covered by the activity. • Only the cost of the course and exam are

funded under the contract.
