Inspector or Consultant?
By Malcolm McNeil, CIP Committee Chair
A
s a NACE-certified
Coating Inspector
Level 3, you will
often be looked upon as
the coatings expert on a
project. As such, when a
question comes up relating
to the coatings specifica-
tions, the various processes being utilized by
the coating contractor, or surface prepara-
tion issues, you may be asked for advice. The
question is, should you give advice or recom-
mendations to the contractor and/or his/her
personnel?
NACE defines the role of the inspec-
tor as a quality control technician whose
pri ma r y responsibi lit y is to obser ve
and report on the technical aspects of a
coating project and its conformance or
deviation from the project specification.
Supervision is not considered part of the
inspector’s role. However, the role of the
coating inspector will vary depending
upon the owner or where in the world the
project is located. These issues should be
clarified at the pre-job conference if one is
held. And one should be held.
So the issue of whether the inspec-
tor should give advice or not depends on
various considerations. We say that the
If you make recommendations and they are
followed and the work turns out to be in
non-conformance with the specifications,
will you be held responsible?
The answer to this is a resounding yes!
inspector is a member of a team working
on the project and the team members all
have the same goal, that being to perform
the work in conformance with the specifica-
tions in the time allotted for the project.
This being said, if you, as the inspec-
tor, have knowledge that the contractor
may use, should you not, as a good team
player, share that k nowledge with the
cont rac tor or projec t eng i neer? T he
a nswer to t his quest ion depends on
several considerations including liability,
responsibility, experience, confidence,
knowledge, etc.
Giving advice and recommendations
is usually the role of a consultant rather
t han t he coating inspector. The rates
charged by a consultant will normally
vary considerably compared to the rates
cha rged for coat ing inspect ion. As a
coating inspector, one must be careful
as to how questions are a nswered. If
you ma ke recommendations and t hey
are followed and the work turns out to
be in non-conformance with the speci-
fications, will you be held responsible?
The answer to this is a resounding yes!
Therefore, you should carefully evaluate
every situation before you give advice or
recommendations.
Considering t he issues discussed
previously, it is up to the owner of the
i nspec t ion f i r m or e ach i nd iv idu a l
coating inspector, in the case of indepen-
dent inspectors, on how these situations
are handled. It is my opinion that if the
coating inspector has t he experience
and knowledge to help resolve issues on
coatings projects, he or she may do so as
long as it is made clear that your sugges-
t ions or recommendat ions a re being
offered based on past experience and
knowledge of similar situations on other
projects, t he accepta nce or rejection
of same is solely up to the contractor or
project engineer, and that you will not be
responsible for the outcome.
These issues have been debated since
the inception of coating inspection and
there are many different opinions by indus-
try experts. I welcome your thoughts and
opinions on this subject. Please feel free to
offer them to the NACE Coating Inspector
Program Committee.!

tion. He was previously certified to CIP Level
1 and CIP Level 1 with Bridge Specialty.
McElveen is a superintendent with MK
Painting, based in Detroit, Michigan, but he
works out of Hockley, Texas. He oversees
the crews that blast off the existing coating
and then apply a new coating on ground
storage, stand pipes, and on the interior and
exterior of elevated water towers.
When he started off in the coatings
industry, McElveen didn’t have training or
experience. “A long time ago I was with a
company that did pipes. I was handed a can of
paint and told ‘figure this out.’ I started reading
the specs. That’s how I started doing it.”
Later, McElveen was hired with another
company that recommended he earn NACE
CIP Level 1 certification. Now that he has
earned CIP Level 2 certification, he says he
will have more opportunities for higher pay.
“CIP Level 2 is the most interesting
thing that I’ve done as far as education. You
get a lot of knowledge and the people you
meet have different levels of knowledge,
from powder coatings and underground
pipes to ships and offshore. You can learn a
lot just listening to them.”

Inspecting Coating Applications

application is the inspection of the surface
over which the coating is to be applied.

tions agree. If there is a major discrepancy
between the two, these should be reconciled
at the pre-application conference between
the owners, manufacturer, contractor, and
inspector.
Inspecting the Surface
Prior to Coating
One of the first steps in the inspection of an
application is the inspection of the surface
over which the coating is to be applied. The
inspection of the surface should include
assurances that the prepared surfaces are
free of any dust, dirt, or abrasive residue
from blast cleaning and that the surface is
ready for application of the coating. If the
coating work is to be done on an exterior
surface, the prepared surfaces should be
coated with the first coat prior to night-
fall in order to prevent turning of the
surface or moisture condensation. Blast-
cleaned surfaces should not be allowed
to stand overnight without first being
coated. If the surfaces to be coated are on
the interior, there may be times when they
can be allowed to stand overnight prior to
coating. Even in this case, however, it is not
a good practice, and the inspector should
thoroughly re-inspect the surface the
following morning prior to the application
of any coating.
Inspection of the surface prior to appli-
cation applies not only to bare steel, but also
to previously primed or coated surfaces. It
is important that each coat in the system be
applied over a perfectly clean, dry surface,
and that the previous coats be touched up for
any damage prior to the application of the
following coat. Care should be taken to make
certain that the surface is free from precipi-
tated salts or other impurities between coats.
Ensuring Proper Coating
Mixing and Thinning
Before the application of any coating, the
inspector should ensure the proper mixing
and thinning of the coating prior to its
use. Inspectors should make sure that the
material in the containers is the proper

other point in the operation.
one for the job, and that the solids in the
bottom of the container are thoroughly
mixed into a uniform, lump-free condition.
If two-component materials are being used,
each of the components may require proper
mixing in order to thoroughly incorporate
all of the materials into a uniform liquid.
Following the mixing of each component,
the mixing of the two components in the
proper quantities should be observed. The
mixture of the two materials should, when
completed, be uniform in color, texture, and
so forth. If thinning is called for in the speci-
fications, the inspector should check to be
sure that the proper thinner and the proper
quantity of thinner are being used.
Applicators invariably tend to over-
thin paint, since this makes it easier to apply
by either brush or spray. The inspector must
realize that over-thinning tends to produce
thin films, thus requiring additional coats
to make up for the difference in solid
content. The average specification will
call for no more than a pint of thinner per
gallon of the original coating. This usually
will adjust the viscosity to the needs of
varied weather conditions or use of specific
application equipment.
Once the coating is ready to be applied,
the inspector should know the coverage that
is expected from the coating, and in this
case he or she should know the practical as
well as theoretical coverage. From this, the
inspector should be able to determine the
wet film thickness (WFT) to be applied and
the dry film thickness (DFT) of the final
coating. With this information, the inspec-
tor can then check during the application
for the thickness of the material as it goes
onto the surface. With some experience,
an inspector can actually determine quite
accurately whether or not the material is
being properly applied, even when standing
some distance away from the surface. If the
inspector stands in such a position that he
or she can see the gloss of the coating as it is
being applied, the inspector can determine
if it is being applied evenly, if the passes
are being overlapped properly, if there are
thin spots or holidays being left, or if the
material is being applied as dry spray. All
of this is part of the observation process
during actua l application. Inspectors
should also make periodic checks of the
total coating thickness with a WFT gauge.
This is an easy instrument to use, and it
should be used directly in the area where
the coating is being applied.
The actions of the applicator (i.e.,
how the applicator handles the gun or the
brush, the amount of coating being applied,
whether or not he or she is flicking the gun
at the end of a pass, and the gun distance
from the surface) are all important observa-
tions. The inspector can probably do more
to ensure a proper application at this point
than at any other point in the operation. It is
at this time that the inspector should observe
all application conditions very closely.

conditions; the inspector should deter-
mine that the drying time is proper both
between coats and for the final coat. He or
she should make certain that there has been
no condensation on the surface or fallout of
contamination between coats. If such condi-
tions have occurred, each coat should be
cleaned prior to additional coats. Finished
surfaces should be inspected. This inspec-
tion should cover overspray, pinholes,
runs, holidays, and any area that appears
to be rough or improperly applied. All
such imperfections should be marked and
repaired prior to acceptance of the coating.

The Importance of
Temperature
During the application, the inspector
should be aware of temperatures; not only
the ambient temperature of the atmosphere,
but also the temperature of the metal. The
relative humidity should be checked to
ensure that condensation and moisture are
not possible on the surface during the appli-
cation. When the temperature is close to
the dew point, even the evaporation of the
solvent in the coating can reduce the surface
temperature condition to the point where
moisture can condense on the surface.
When this happens, the coating may blush

moisture into the coating), causing a poor
film. The minimum air temperature usually
permitted for the application of coatings
is 40 °F (5 °C), and the temperature of the
 6 InspectThis! Spring 2014

coating even though the minimum or

maximum temperature has been exceeded.
At this point, the inspector must determine
whether it is possible to exceed the limits or
whether, because of conditions, the quality
of the coating will suffer. Generally, it is
best not to permit any broadening of the
temperature range since coating problems
only multiply at each end of the range.
If coating is done on the exterior
surfaces, weather changes are always a
problem, and may be harmful to the freshly
applied coating. Rain, sharp decreases
in temperature, increases in wind condi-
tions, and increases in humidity should be
carefully watched. If possible, the application
should be halted prior to any damage to the
coating or, at least, time should be provided
for the applied coating to dry before damage
can occur due to such changes.
