by suitable means i.e. masking, covering with polythene etc.
After completion of painting all masking shall be removed and any overspray, dry spray
etc.
The GAMA Qatar Quality department shall perform surveillance inspection to ensure
proper masking protection is applied.
Masking shall be applied before blasting and coating operations to protect the gasket
surfaces (except plain face) and the pipe or nozzle interior. Surfaces that will be

bolt holes shall receive the complete painting system before being assembled, steel
structure bolted connections shall be primed only unless otherwise noted.
The outer edge of ring groove flanges and raised face flanges will be blasted and coated
to the upper (outer) edge of the ring groove or the outside edge of the raised portion of
the flange. The entire groove area shall be protected.
