The Master Painters Institute (MPI), a division of the NACE International Institute, announced the completion of product standards for interior carbon-steel fuel pipes, interior welded fuel tanks, exterior steel systems, and waterfront steel structures.
MPI was contracted by Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) to establish the product standards.
The new MPI 500 Series Standards are for use in numerous aspects of work involving specialized Department of Defense (DoD) Petroleum, Oils, and Lubricants (POL) facilities. Initial testing is now complete, and the standards are available via the online MPI store. Coating manufacturers can submit products for approval beginning in May 2019.
Following is a description of the new standards:
System MPI# 500 and 501 standards are for interior carbon-steel fuel tanks. This commercial standard is similar to MIL-PRF-4556, “Coating Kit, Epoxy, for Interior of Steel Fuel Tanks,” which was canceled in 2011. Standard MPI# 505 is for interior welded fuel tanks. Standard MPI# 510 is for exterior welded fuel tanks. System MPI# 514, 515, and 516 is designed for waterfront steel structures.
MPI # Coating Description
500 & 501 (system) Epoxy, Interior Seel Fuel tank, Primer
505 Low VOC, Two-Coat Polysulfide Modified Novolac Epoxy
510 Zero-VOC, Self-Priming, Splash Zone Coating (SZC)
515 & 516 (2 coat system) Non-Zinc Epoxy Barrier Coating, Primer Fluorourethane, Steel Structure exterior, Topcoat
