sealed in plastic bags and labeled. Fasteners shall conform to the

requirements of Section 11000.




6. The use of “fabricator’s crayons” shall be prohibited during fabrication of

equipment as these marks may prevent proper passivation.

B. PASSIVATION PROCESS REQUIREMENTS:

1. The processes required for proper passivation shall include precleaning,

chemical descaling, neutralization, post-cleaning inspection, testing,

certification, and protection as defined below.

a. Precleaning – Precleaning required for the removal of all grease, oil,

paint, soil, grit and other gross contaminants preparatory to the

fabrication process shall be accomplished by vapor degreasing,

immersion or spray application of alkaline or emulsion cleaners,

steam, or high pressure water jetting.

b. Chemical Descaling –Chemical descaling (pickling) shall be

accomplished by immersion bath or spray application of a nitric-

hydrofluoric acid solution to produce a matt white, pristine

appearance. The acid solution and process used shall conform to

Code B, Table A1.1, ASTM A380.

c. Neutralization – The chemical reactions of the pickling media shall

be stopped by rinsing of the part with a 10 percent soda ash solution

for a minimum of 30-minutes followed by a water bath using high

pressure water jetting. The pH of the wetted part surface shall be

same as the water used for rinsing.

d. Post Cleaning Inspection – Post treatment inspection of the

chemically pickled and neutralized part shall exhibit a clean surface

with no signs of etching, pitting, or frosting resulting from the pickling

procedure.

e. Testing – The passivated part shall be tested for the presence or

absence of free iron with a solution of potassium ferricyanide as

defined in Verification Test Practice E, ASTM A967. The test solution

shall be mixed and used within 24-hours or less and applied with

sterile cotton swabs. The test result shall indicate an absence of free

iron on the surface of the part.

f. Certification – All parts passivated shall be certified by an officer of

both the manufacturer and the passivating shop as having been

cleaned and passivated and tested in accordance with the

procedures described in this section. Test results shall indicate an

absence of free iron on all passivated surfaces. The Certification

shall be submitted to the City prior to shipping the equipment to the

project site. Equipment that is not certified will not be accepted.




g. Protection – Protection shall be provided by applying shrink wrap to

all parts of the equipment sufficient to prevent exposure of

passivated surfaces to contaminants during handling, shipping and

installation. Protected equipment shall be tagged with highly visible

warning signs stating the equipment has been passivated and shall

only be opened by authorized personnel. Equipment arriving at the

project site without proper protection will require retesting for the

presence of free iron and re-passivation if free iron is detected.

C. Assembly of equipment following passivation – If assembly of bolted parts is

required following passivation, it shall be done at the manufacturing facility under

clean conditions such that the parts will not be contaminated with exogenous iron or

iron compounds. Following assembly, retest for the presence of free iron per ASTM

A967 and treat any contaminated areas with citric acid solution. Equipment

requiring assembly shall be re-shrink wrapped sufficient to prevent exposure of

passivated surfaces to contaminants during handling, shipping and installation.
