(report from 25.06.02).

The estimation of the state of protective coating was conducted as far as visual inspection, measurement of the adhesion of coating to the metallic surface and as far as measurement of the thickness of coating with the aid of the magnetic thickness gauge of stamp “constant Of [m]1”

Result of the inspection:

Cooling tower pan of №1
column and connections are the pilot areas of № 1,2,3,4
Coating is substituted by brush down the rusty surface, the thickness of rust 100-120 m.
Coating lusterless, continuity is not disrupted; scalings, inflations it is not observed. Adhesion is 1 mark about the method of lattice cuts according to ALL-UNION STATE STAN. 15140-78. The thickness of coating is 60-80 m.

Cooling tower pan of №3 (column)
the section of №1 and №2 (coating substituted down ground [EP]-0199, due to the conditions of the increased humidity).
Coating lusterless, continuity is not disrupted; scalings, inflations, peelings is not observed. Cohesion to ground is satisfactory.

NOTE: With the operation of coating were observed the wide fluctuations in temperature of ambient air (from +3°[S] at night to +35°[S] in the daytime).
