Surface Preparation
- The internal surfaces of the compressor cooling tank were abrasive blast cleaned to achieve a surface cleanliness level of SA 2.5 with a 75-micron profile, in accordance with ISO 8501/4 Standard (SSPC SP10/NACE 2). This preparation was crucial for ensuring that the coating adhered effectively to the substrate.
Application of UPS 225 HT HIGH TEMPERATURE CERAMIC
- UPS 225 HT was applied in two coats to the internal surfaces of the tank. Each coat was applied to a nominal thickness of 500 microns using plastic applicators and stiff-bristled brushes. This coating provided a robust barrier against the corrosive effects of humidity and high temperatures.
