Paint & Coatings

Every coat proven on day one, kept for the warranty.

For coating inspectors, applicators, and the owners who hold the warranty, intelliSPEC keeps surface prep, environmentals, DFT, and hold points against SSPC, ISO, and AMPP requirements, on the same record from Gulf Coast tank farms to NORSOK offshore work.

Where it runs

Every asset keeps its prep grade, its environmental log, its DFT map, and its hold-point signatures on one record for the life of the warranty.

Where the spec meets the steel

Every coat carries its own evidence.

A coating system is only as strong as its best-documented coat. Each layer gets its own prep, environmental, thickness, and sign-off record, tied to the asset for the life of the warranty.

  1. 011 / 2

    The DFT line, held at every coat

    intelliPAINT checks spot and area readings against SSPC-PA 2 and ISO 19840 acceptance at every coat, with holiday tests per NACE SP0188 logged where the spec calls for them.

    The blast, graded before the window closes

    Cleanliness to ISO 8501-1 and SSPC-SP 10, profile to ISO 8503, soluble salts to ISO 8502-9. The prep is signed before the window closes, not reconstructed after.

  2. 022 / 2

    The inspector's card, checked first

    intelliCREW holds AMPP CIP and FROSIO NS 476 qualifications against every hold point, so no inspector signs beyond their certification level and no release goes unattributed.

    Paint that sets the inspection interval

    Coating age and condition feed API 581 CUI damage factors in intelliINTEGRITY, so the coating record changes inspection intervals on insulated lines instead of sitting in a binder.

One coating record

The databook writes itself as the job runs, so when the warranty reviewer asks, the book already exists.

One job, blast to databook

Follow one tank from first Bresle patch to warranty file.

  1. 0600

    Inside the tank

    Bresle patches, profile tape, steel temp, RH, and dew point captured offline inside a ballast tank or on a remote pipeline ROW. Readings sync with full attribution when the crew climbs out.

  2. 02

    The hold point decides

    When steel temperature falls within 3 °C of dew point, the application window closes and the next coat is blocked until a qualified inspector re-reads conditions and releases it. The gate is in the record, not in someone's memory.

  3. 03

    The databook writes itself

    Daily logs, batch numbers, DFT maps, holiday test results, and signatures assemble as the job progresses. When the owner, the class surveyor, or the warranty reviewer asks, the book already exists.

Answers

Paint and Coatings questions

01Does intelliSPEC support SSPC-PA 2 DFT measurement and acceptance?

Yes. Spot and area DFT readings are captured per coat and checked against SSPC-PA 2 or ISO 19840 acceptance criteria in intelliPAINT, with out-of-spec areas flagged for rework before the next coat goes on.

02How do coating inspectors record dew point and environmental readings?

Ambient temperature, RH, steel temperature, and dew point are logged per shift and per application window in intelliPAINT, and the standard 3 °C margin between steel temperature and dew point is enforced as a hold point rather than a note.

03Can intelliSPEC generate a coating databook for owner or warranty review?

Yes. Daily logs, surface prep records, DFT maps, batch certificates, holiday test results, and inspector signatures assemble into the databook as the job runs, so the final book is an export, not an end-of-project scramble.

04How are holiday and pinhole tests recorded for tank linings and pipe coatings?

High and low voltage holiday test results per NACE SP0188 or ASTM D5162 are captured against the specific coated area in intelliPAINT, with repairs and retests traceable on the same thread.

05Does intelliSPEC track AMPP CIP and FROSIO inspector certifications?

Yes. intelliCREW holds each inspector's AMPP CIP level or FROSIO NS 476 certification and expiry, and hold points check qualification before a release can be signed.

06Can it handle IMO PSPC coating records for ballast tanks?

Yes. Surface prep, environmental, and DFT records required under IMO PSPC, resolution MSC.215(82), are captured offline inside the tank and compiled into the coating technical file for class review.

07How does coating condition affect CUI inspection planning?

Coating type, age, and condition recorded in intelliPAINT feed API 581 CUI damage factors in intelliINTEGRITY, alongside NACE SP0198 practice, so insulated lines with degraded coatings surface earlier in the inspection plan.
