Designation:D716712Standard Guide forEstablishing Procedures to Monitor the Performance ofSafety-Related Coating Service Level III Lining Systems inan Operating Nuclear Power Plant1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7167;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide covers procedures for establishing a programto monitor the performance of Coating Service Level III lining(and coating)systems in operating nuclear power plants.Monitoring is an ongoing process of evaluating the conditionof the in-service lining systems.1.2 Coating Service Level III lining systems subject to thisguide are generally those applied to metal substrates compris-ing raw water,condensate-quality water,or fuel oil wetted(thatis,full or intermittent immersion)surfaces in systems that mayinclude:1.2.1 Service water piping upstream of safety-relatedcomponents,1.2.2 Service water pump internals(draft tube,volutes,anddiffusers),1.2.3 Service water heat exchangers including the channels,pass partitions,tubesheets,end bells,and covers1.2.4 Service water strainers,1.2.5 Reactor water storage tanks(RWSTs),1.2.6 Refuel cavity water storage tanks,1.2.7 Reactor makeup water system,1.2.8 Component cooling water system,1.2.9 Lube oil tanks for safety-related equipment,and1.2.10 Emergency diesel fuel oil system.1.3 It is the intent of this guide to provide a recommendedbasis for establishing a linings monitoring program,not tomandate a singular basis for all programs.Variations orsimplifications of the program described in this guide may beappropriate for any given operating nuclear power plantdepending on its licensing commitments.Similar guidelinesmay be applicable for certain Coating Service Level II appli-cations such as fluid immersion systems.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D610 Practice for Evaluating Degree of Rusting on PaintedSteel SurfacesD714 Test Method for Evaluating Degree of Blistering ofPaintsD1186 Test Methods for Nondestructive Measurement ofDry Film Thickness of Nonmagnetic Coatings Applied toa Ferrous Base(Withdrawn 2006)3D1400 Test Method for Nondestructive Measurement of DryFilm Thickness of Nonconductive Coatings Applied to aNonferrous Metal Base(Withdrawn 2006)3D3359 Test Methods for Measuring Adhesion by Tape TestD4537 Guide for Establishing Procedures to Qualify andCertify Personnel Performing Coating and Lining WorkInspection in Nuclear FacilitiesD4538 Terminology Relating to Protective Coating andLining Work for Power Generation FacilitiesD4541 Test Method for Pull-Off Strength of Coatings UsingPortable Adhesion TestersD6677 Test Method for Evaluating Adhesion by KnifeD7108 Guide for Establishing Qualifications for a NuclearCoatings SpecialistD7230 Guide for Evaluating Polymeric Lining Systems forWater Immersion in Coating Service Level III Safety-Related Applications on Metal Substrates1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D33 on ProtectiveCoating and Lining Work for Power Generation Facilities and is the directresponsibility of Subcommittee D33.04 on Quality Systems and Inspection.Current edition approved Nov.1,2012.Published February 2013.Originallyapproved in 2005.Last previous edition approved in 2005 as D7167 05.DOI:10.1520/D71612.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 F1130 Practice for Inspecting the Coating System of a Ship2.2 ANSI/ASME Standards:4ANSI/ASMEN 45.2.6 QualificationofInspection,Examination,and Testing Personnel for Nuclear PowerPlantsANSI/ASME NQA-1 Quality Assurance Requirements forNuclear Facility Applications2.3 SSPC Standard:5SSPC-PA 2 Measurement of Dry Paint Thickness WithMagnetic GagesSSPC-VIS 2 Standard Method of Evaluating Degree ofRusting on Painted Steel Surfaces2.4 U.S.Nuclear Regulatory Commission Documents:6Generic Letter 89-13 Service Water System Problems Af-fecting Safety-Related Equipment3.Terminology3.1 DefintionsDefinitions for use with this standard areshown in Terminology D4538 or other applicable standards.3.2 The following definitions of terms are repeated forconvenience and clarity:3.2.1 Coating Service Level
