Surface preparation, moisture testing and environmental condition

A
inspection

New concrete shall be cured for a minimum of 28 days prior to coating.

Shorter cure times shall only be allowed if the concrete passes either
ASTM D4263 Concrete Moisture Content by the Plastic Sheet Method or
SAES-H-003
by the Elcometer conductivity test.
A1 Sec. 5.1.1, 5.1.2
& 5.1.3
Note: Test report SATR-H-1003 " Concrete Moisture Field Test
(For Coating Purposes)" shall be avaible for review/verification of
concrete moisture condition.

Atmospheric relative humidity shall be less than 85% during surface SAES-H-003
A2
preparations for coating. Sec. 5.2.1

Surfaces shall be tested for dryness after rain, water blasting, or heavy SAES-H-003
A3
overnight fog. Sec. 5.2.2

Wind conditions shall be such as to allow complete clean up of dust and SAES-H-003
A4
dirt on areas to be coated. Sec. 5.2.3

SAES-H-100
A5 Paints shall not be used from a container showing a sign of leakage.
Sec. 6.3

Coatings or their components which have exceeded the Manufacturer's

recommended shelf life shall be set aside and must not be used unless SAES-H-100
A6
written authorization is given by Saudi Aramco Consulting Services Sec. 6.4
Department.

Remove any protrusions and sharp edges with an abrasive

SAES-H-003
A7 carborundum brick, power grinding, or power brushing prior to coating
Sec. 5.3.1.a
concrete.

Surfaces shall be sound such that a metal object run over the concrete SAES-H-003
A8
shall not loosen any particles. Sec. 5.3.1.a

Form oils, grease, laitance, etc. shall be removed by steam cleaning with
SAES-H-003
A9 a water emulsifiable detergent added. Laitance can be removed by wire
Sec. 5.3.1.b
brushing.
Materials that cannot be removed by steam cleaning or abrasion can be
removed by Hydochloric acid etching; The adequacy of the water SAES-H-003
A10
flushing shall be checked by placing litmus paper on the wet surface to Sec. 5.3.1.b
ensure that it is fully neutralized.
New concrete shall be roughened to the texture of medium grit
SAES-H-003
A11 sandpaper by grit blasting when it has a troweled or "formed" smooth
Sec. 5.3.1.c
surface.
The tensile strength of heavy duty surface concrete by ASTM D4541
SAES-H-003
A12 shall meet or exceed 175psi for immersion service and 260 psi for
Sec. 5.3.2
industrial floors.

(sodium carbonate) followed by a high pressure fresh water rinse. Sec. 5.3.3.b.2
Concrete surfaces (such as acid waste neutralizing tanks) that have
SAES-H-003
A15 been in prolonged contact with acids require a minimum soak of 24

A strip of pH Test Paper is dipped in the rinse water remaining on the
surface. The pH reading obtained should not be more than 1.0 pH units SAES-H-003
