Coating Inspection & Corrosion Control for Industrial Plants
Program Overview
A technical program aligned with AMPP/NACE coating inspection principles, focused on protective coatings and corrosion control for structures and equipment typical of cement plants, quarries, and mineral processing facilities.
Target Audience
Coating inspectors, maintenance engineers, QA/QC staff, and asset integrity personnel.
Learning Objectives
● Explain corrosion mechanisms affecting industrial steel structures and equipment
● Describe surface preparation standards and coating application methods
● Perform key coating inspection checks at each project stage
● Interpret inspection instruments and acceptance criteria
● Support certification readiness for coating inspector programs (CIP Level 1/2)
5-Day Program Outline
Day | Focus Area | Topics Covered |
1 | Corrosion Fundamentals | ● Principles of corrosion: electrochemical mechanisms and forms of corrosion ● Corrosion in cement, quarry, and mining environments (dust, moisture, chemicals) ● Introduction to coatings as a corrosion control method ● Overview of AMPP/NACE coating inspector certification pathway |
2 | Surface Preparation | ● Surface preparation standards (SSPC/NACE and ISO 8501) ● Abrasive blasting methods and profile measurement ● Surface cleanliness assessment and contamination testing ● Practical: surface profile and cleanliness inspection exercise |
3 | Coating Materials & Application | ● Coating types: epoxies, polyurethanes, zinc-rich primers, linings ● Application methods: spray, brush, roller — advantages and defects ● Environmental conditions for application (dew point, humidity, temperature) ● Common coating application defects and their causes |
4 | Inspection Instruments & Testing | ● Wet and dry film thickness measurement ● Holiday (pinhole) detection and adhesion testing ● Environmental monitoring instruments during application ● Practical: hands-on use of inspection gauges |
5 | Documentation, Standards & Case Studies | ● Inspection reporting and documentation requirements ● Relevant standards overview (NACE/AMPP, SSPC, ISO) ● Case studies: coating failures in industrial plant environments ● Course review, sample exam questions, and assessment |
