AFFIDAVIT OF COMPLIANCE 3.1 The manufacturer, if required by the Purchase Order, shall furnish an affidavit of compliance stating that the coating of the valves, hydrants, or fittings conforms to the applicable
30、 requirements of this Standard Practice. 4. COATINGS FOR DRINKING WATER SERVICE 4.1 Coatings for drinking water service shall not contain coal tar and shall comply with one or more of the following requirements (as applicable): a) Formulated from materials deemed acceptable in the U.S. Food and Drug
31、 Administration (FDA) Chapter of Title 21 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations on Indirect Food Additives, Subsection 175.300, entitled “Resinous and Polymeric Coatings”. b) NSF 61, Drinking Water System Components Health Effects. c) The Safe Drinking Water Act; as Amended (40 C.F.R. 141; U.S. EP
32、A). 5. SURFACE PREPARATION 5.1 Visual Examination Prior to surface preparation, each valve, valve component, hydrant, hydrant component, or fitting to be coated shall be visually inspected for cleanliness and surface profile recommended for immersion service by the coating manufacturer. 5.2 Surface
33、Preparation Surface preparation shall provide the surface profile that is recommended by the coating manufacturer for immersion service. 6. COATING APPLICATION 6.1 Powder coating materials may be applied to preheated components using a fluidized bed, pneumatic spray system, or an electrostatic spray
34、 system. The method used may require a post-heating process. 6.2 Liquid coating materials may be applied by air, airless, electrostatic spray, brush, or by electrophoretic deposition. 6.3 The protective coating, whether a liquid or powder material, shall be applied to interior ferrous surfaces in co
35、nstant contact with water, drinking water, or reclaimed and wastewater. Unless otherwise required by the Purchase Order, the protective coating may be applied to any exterior ferrous surfaces of valves, hydrants, and fittings at the manufacturers option. 6.4 Certain surfaces may be left uncoated pro
36、vided that the anticipated corrosion of these areas will not interfere with the effective performance of the valve, hydrant, or fitting. These surfaces include, but are not limited to, interior machined surfaces, bearing surfaces, mating surfaces of gaskets or other elastomeric stem seals; interior
37、dry-barrel hydrant surfaces above the shoe; interior wet-barrel hydrant surfaces below the upper barrel; corrosion-resistant surfaces such as stainless steel and copper alloys; and other surfaces that, if coated, would impair the effective performance and operation of the valve, hydrant, or fitting.
38、 MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-983 6.5 Special consideration may be necessary on the protective coating thickness for machined surfaces, bearing surfaces, mating surfaces and joint dimensions of valve, hydrant, and fitting end connections to maintain a functional product. 7.
