6.1.5. SSPC-SP14 (Industrial Blast Cleaning)

Industrial blast cleaning provides a greater degree of cleaning than brush blast off cleaning (SSPC
7/NACE No. 4), but less than commercial blast cleaning (SSPC-6/NACE No. 3). Industrial blast
cleaning is used when the objective is to remove most of the mill scale, and rust, but when the
extra effort is required to remove every trace of these is determined to be unwarranted.
6.2. Paint
6.2.1. The Standard Paint is the “Standard AE Green”, unless otherwise specified in
the contract. Standard AE Green: Alkyd painting with high chromate content, green color.
6.2.2. The specification for the film thickness and application of the paint will be
provided by the paint fabricator. That information will be specified at the
packing list.
6.3. No Paint areas
6.3.1. Shop drawings shall indicate areas where no paint is to be applied.
6.3.2. These no paint areas include interior faces of flange-plates, exterior flange
surfaces where flange-plates are to be welded and, in general, any surface that
will receive field welds.
7. CONNECTIONS

Base plates shall be detailed with bolts outside the rectangle enveloping the cross
section unless otherwise indicated. Base plate shall have stiffeners on all four
corners, three stiffeners per corner for W shapes, two for square HSS sections and
four for Pipes. The base plate thickness shall not be less than the flange thickness
for W shapes or the wall thickness for HSS sections and Pipes. Anchor bolt holes on
base plates shall be either oversized (OVS) or extra-oversized (XOVS). Default
diameter for anchor bolts is ø1” unless otherwise specified.

1. Plates shall be fabricated with rolling direction parallel to the beam.

2. CJP groove weld: single or double bevel. Weld in shop or field. When using single-bevel groove weld, remove backing after welding,
back-gouge, and reinforce with 5/16”-minimum fillet weld. When using double bevel weld, back-gouge first weld before welding other
side. If plates are shop welded to column, care must be exercised in locating and leveling plates, as shimming is not allowed between
the plates and the beam flanges.
3. Fillet welds at edges of beam flanges to plate. Provide weld tabs at end to provide full weld throat thickness to the end of the plate.
Remove weld tabs and grind the end of the weld smooth. Use care to avoid grinding marks on the beam flange.
4. Fillet weld at end of flange plate to beam flange. Maintain full weld throat thickness to within 1” of the edge of the flange.
5. Shear tab of length equal to db-2k–2”. Shear tab thickness should match that of beam web.
