Designation:D516104aStandardGuide forSpecifying Inspection Requirements for Coating and LiningWork(Metal Substrates)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5161;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 is intended to aid the coating specificationwriter in selecting and specifying the appropriate inspectioncriteria.It indicates the inspection requirements that may beemployed for each of four service environments includingmild,moderate,severe,and immersion(see Table 1).1.2 In order to aid the user in determining when to specifyinspection requirements,a relationship between the conse-quence of failure and the suggested level of inspection isdemonstrated(see Fig.1).1.3 It is not the intent of this guide to address the selectionof protective coating systems,to specify surface preparationand application requirements,or to be a referenced documentin a specification.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1186 Test Methods for Nondestructive Measurement ofDry Film Thickness of Nonmagnetic Coatings Applied toa Ferrous Base(Withdrawn 2006)3D1400 Test Method for Nondestructive Measurement of DryFilm Thickness of Nonconductive Coatings Applied to aNonferrous Metal Base(Withdrawn 2006)3D2240 Test Method for Rubber PropertyDurometer Hard-nessD2583 Test Method for Indentation Hardness of Rigid Plas-tics by Means of a Barcol ImpressorD3276 Guide for Painting Inspectors(Metal Substrates)D3363 Test Method for Film Hardness by Pencil TestD4285 Test Method for Indicating Oil or Water in Com-pressed AirD4414 Practice for Measurement of Wet Film Thickness byNotch GagesD4417 Test Methods for Field Measurement of SurfaceProfile of Blast Cleaned SteelD4752 Practice for Measuring MEK Resistance of EthylSilicate(Inorganic)Zinc-Rich Primers by Solvent RubD4940 Test Method for Conductimetric Analysis of WaterSoluble Ionic Contamination of Blasting AbrasivesD5162 Practice for Discontinuity(Holiday)Testing of Non-conductive Protective Coating on Metallic SubstratesD5402 Practice for Assessing the Solvent Resistance ofOrganic Coatings Using Solvent RubsE337 Test Method for Measuring Humidity with a Psy-chrometer(the Measurement of Wet-and Dry-Bulb Tem-peratures)2.2 SSPC Standard:4SSPC VIS 1 Visual Standard for Abrasive Blast CleanedSteelSSPC VIS 3 Visual Standard for Power-and Hand-ToolCleaned Steel3.Terminology3.1 Service Environments Terms are as follows:3.1.1 mild service,nindoor or protected outdoor areas notsubject to rain,dew or corrosive elements,or both.3.1.2 moderate service,nareas subject to weather awayfrom coastal or corrosive industrial environments,or both.3.1.3 severe service,ncorrosive/erosive environments in-cluding coastal salt laden atmosphere,industrial atmosphere,and high intensity sunlight.3.1.4 immersion service,nwetted surfaces of tanks,containers,pits,etc.and surfaces that are normally wet withcondensation or exposed to other corrosive environments.4.Significance and Use4.1 The requirements for inspection should be addressed inall protective coating and lining work specifications.1This 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 Aug.1,2004.Published September 2004.Originallyapproved in 1991.Last previous edition approved in 2004 as D5161 04.DOI:10.1520/D5161-04A.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.4Available from Society for Protective Coatings(SSPC),40 24th St.,6th Floor,Pittsburgh,PA 15222-4656,http:/www.sspc.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesNOTICE:This standard has either been superseded and replaced by a new version or withdrawn.Contact ASTM International(www.astm.org)for the latest information14.2 This guide may be used by specification writers whenselecting and establishing the inspection requirements forcoating and lining specifications.4.3 The instructions for using this guide are as follows:4.3.1 Identify the service environment for the coating orlining system being specified.Read down the column under theappropriate service environment in Table 1.Suggested levelsof inspection listed on the left are identified with Xs.5.Inspection Requirements5.1 Pre-Surface Preparation:5.1.1 ContaminantsVisually verify that oil and grease areremoved from the surface prior to surface preparati
