Designation:F201600(Reapproved 2012)An American National StandardStandard Practice forEstablishing Shipbuilding Quality Requirements for HullStructure,Outfitting,and Coatings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2016;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 practice consists of three annexes:hull structure,outfitting,and coating.The subject of these annexes wasselected for several reasons.Other commercial shipbuildingnations already have in place widely recognized standards ofexpectations in these areas.These constitute the most signifi-cant areas where workmanship is a critical factor in customersatisfaction.The cost associated with the labor involved inthese three areas is a significant factor in construction man-hours and overall schedules.1.2 The standard criteria provided in this practice areintended to apply to conventional,commercial ship construc-tion.In many cases,specialized,nonconventional vessels usingnonstandard materials or built-to-serve sole requirements mayrequire unique acceptance criteria that are beyond thoseprovided in this practice.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D4417 Test Methods for Field Measurement of SurfaceProfile of Blast Cleaned SteelE337 Test Method for Measuring Humidity with a Psy-chrometer(the Measurement of Wet-and Dry-Bulb Tem-peratures)2.2 ISO Standards:3ISO 85023 Assessment of Dust on Steel Surfaces Preparedfor Painting(Pressure-Sensitive Tape Method)ISO 85026 Extraction of Soluble Contaminants forAnalysisThe Bresle Method2.3 NACE Standards:4NACE No.5 Surface Preparation and Cleaning of Steel andOther Hard Materials by High-and Ultrahigh-PressureWater Jetting Prior to Re-coating(SSPC-SP 12)NACE No.7 Interim Guide and Visual Reference Photo-graphs for Steel Cleaned by Water Jetting(SSPC-VIS4(1)2.4 SSPC Standards:5SSPC-AB 1 Mineral and Slag AbrasivesSSPC-AB 2 Specification for Cleanliness of Recycled Fer-rous Metallic AbrasivesSSPC-PA 2 Measurement of Dry Coating Thickness WithMagnetic GagesSSPC-SP 1 Solvent CleaningSSPC-SP 2 Hand Tool CleaningSSPC-SP 3 Power Tool CleaningSSPC-SP 7 Brush-Off Blast CleaningSSPC-SP 10 Near-White Blast CleaningSSPC-SP 11 Power Toll Cleaning to Bare MetalSSPC-SP 12 Surface Preparation and Cleaning of Steel andOther Hard Materials by High-and Ultrahigh-PressureWater Jetting Prior to Re-coating(NACE No.5)SSPC-VIS 1-89 Visual Standard for Abrasive Blast CleanedSteelSSPC-VIS 3 Visual Standard for Power-and Hand-ToolCleaned SteelSSPC-VIS 4(1)Interim Guide and Visual Reference Photo-graphs for Steel Cleaned by Water Jetting(NACE No.7)2.5 NSRP Documents:6National Shipbuilding Research Project 6971“AmericanShipbuilding Quality Standards,”dated May 28,19993.Summary of Practice3.1 This practice provides workmanship criteria to be ap-plied to commercial shipbuilding or ship repair,or both.The1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F25 on Ships andMarine Technologyand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F25.07 onGeneral Requirements.Current edition approved May 1,2012.Published May 2012.Originallyapproved in 2000.Last previous edition approved in 2006 as F2016 00(2006).DOI:10.1520/F2016-00R12.2For 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.3Available from American National Standards Institute(ANSI),25 W.43rd St.,4th Floor,New York,NY 10036,http:/www.ansi.org.4Available from NACE International(NACE),1440 South Creek Dr.,Houston,TX 77084-4906,http:/www.nace.org.5Available from Society for Protective Coatings(SSPC),40 24th St.,6th Floor,Pittsburgh,PA 15222-4656,http:/www.sspc.org.6Available from The Librarian,Documentation Center,Marine Systems Divi-sion,University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute,2901 Baxter Rd.,Ann Arbor,MI 481092150.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 criteria covers three primary phases of ship construction,thatis,hull structure,outfitting,and coatings.Specific criteria to beselected from this standard should be as contractually agreedbetween the ship owner and shipbuilder.4.Significance and Use4.1 To achieve success in ship construction,it is necessaryfor the ship owner and the ship builder to agree on the level ofquality in the final product.Classification rules,regulatoryrequirements,and ship specifications all help to define anacceptable level of construction quality;however,this guid-ance alone is not sufficient.It is up to the shipbuilder,therefore,to describe the level of workmanship sufficiently that will bereflected in the delivered ship,and f
