DFT areas are marked for repairs.

Dry Film Thickness gage is calibrated as per SSPC PA-2.

DFT gage calibration is performed at beginning & end of the work.
Note: If gage is found to be out of calibration at the end of work, all SAES-H-001

* (SSPC-PA 2, Para. 4.3.3)
See Attachment 1

Minimum required number of DFT measurements (spot measurements)

based on the size of the coated area are taken as per the detailed
SAES-H-001

Para 9.3.5 a
See Attachment 2.

Dry Film Thickness of the primer coat conforms to that specified in

APCS-sheets of SAES-H-101and indicated in item A1 above. Dry Film SAES-H-001
