Rope Access Paint Inspection

Rope access paint inspection is a process using our highly qualified and experienced NACE and ICORR rope access coating inspectors. Their knowledge of industrial coatings and surface preparation standards ensure protective coatings are correctly applied & paint inspection surveys conducted accordingly.

Painting inspection services is consistent with the requirements of a quality controlled system for any protective coating treatment operations, it is essential the paint inspection of a prepared substrate receives the same degree of attention, using competent and well trained NACE & ICORR paint inspectors. Without control to ensure a properly treated substrate, the value of any subsequent operations is largely reduced and therefore the reason good steel surface preparation and correctly applied protective coatings are the foundation for long term durability. The most technologically advanced coating system will almost certainly fail prematurely if the surface preparation is incorrect or incomplete. Using the knowledge and expertise of Dangle in this complex coating inspection services field, will help asset owners, contract managers and procurement teams reduce overall maintenance costs against their corrosion management systems (CMS).

Paint Inspection Equipment

We issue paint inspection equipment manufactured by world leader Elcometer. Meaning our rope access coating inspectors and paint inspectors have confidence the paint inspection equipment they use is certified and recalibrated to conformance annually and is the most technological advanced coating inspection testing on the market today. We have everything you need to accurately measure surface profile to surface cleanliness and relative humidity to dewpoint.

Rope Access Coating Surveys

Prior to examination the Coating or Paint Inspector will ensure familiarity with the manufacturing and finishing processes involved in producing the material/item to be examined. Surface condition and preparation reports on the area under examination must be free from surface contaminants that may reduce the efficiency of paint inspection equipment, or lead to false or inaccurate readings. Typical examples of such contaminants include ; rust, scale, grease, etc. Paint coatings are not normally to be removed without the prior consent of the client during rope access paint inspections.

Coating Inspection Jobs

The performance of any coating is directly dependent upon the correct and thorough preparation of the surface prior to painting. The most expensive and technologically advanced coatings systems will fail prematurely if the surface preparation is incorrect or incomplete.

The moisture content of the air influences the painting operations and is indicated by relative humidity at a particular temperature.

Relative humidity is important during paint application since the amount of moisture in the air and temperature of the metallic steel surface may lead to condensation forming on the substrate which inevitably will lead to adhesion problems with most coatings. Other industrial paints can are sensitive to humidity during their curing, for instance, the surface of amine cured epoxy based coatings will be affected by high humidity conditions, and although the coating layer itself is undamaged after curing, it will be susceptible to cohesion problems should this be over-coated. Such coating can develop a surface oiliness or whitish spots often referred to as amine-blush, sweating or bloom.

While other such paints like some zinc silicate coatings will not cure completely under low humidity conditions. The conditions applicable to various industrial coatings should be provided by the paint manufacturer and can usually be found in technical data sheets for the specific painting product.

Thats why at Dangle we highly recommend that you let us take the hassle and costly re-work out of painting using our highly skilled and knowledgeable NACE coating inspectors and ICORR inspection services personnel.

From the preparation of the surface to be coated, through to climatic condition monitoring to the dry film thickness evaluation post cure, visual assessment and gauge-based testing we will ensure an adequate process control is in place.

For steel surface preparation, the removal of rust and other contamination and the creation of a surface profile is required to enhance the adhesion of the applied coatings. Dangle can provide you with a range of services for rust removal and a simple test for dust on blast-cleaned surfaces. In order to determine the level of soluble salt contamination of a blast cleaned surface, a range of salt contamination methods are available including the Bresle Patch Method, the Saturated Filter Paper method and the Chloride-Specific titration tube method.

For climatic condition monitoring Dangle can offer paint inspectors to conduct bi-metallic magnetic thermometer readings and electronic thermometers for temperature measurement using digital equipment, with wet and dry bulb hygrometers and electronic dewpoint meters for the measurement and data-logging of relative humidity and dewpoint temperatures also. Oven temperature logging and wind velocity measurement are also available using anemometer.

For coating thickness checks we can offer our inspection services on wet film combs, mechanical and electronic non-destructive dry film thickness gauges and the destructive paint inspection gauge (PIG).

Finally for those post curing assessments of adhesion and porosity we highly recommenced our coating inspection services offering a full range of adhesion testers and low and high voltage holiday detectors.
