A NACE Inspection is performed by a certified inspector. During the inspection, the inspector will review surface preparation, coating application, and environmental conditions to ensure the quality of the work. Let’s examine the steps of the NACE Inspection and why they are crucial for a successful industrial coating project.

1. The inspector assesses the surface preparation, application methods, and curing. 

2. Environmental factors are reviewed to determine that they are within acceptable ranges. 

3. Quality analysis is conducted to prevent premature coating failures, corrosion, and costly repairs. 

4. The findings, tests, and environmental conditions for the project are fully documented.

To become a NACE inspector, they must pass the NACE Coating Inspector Program. This program includes:

1. Learning the industry standards for certifying coatings inspectors. 

2. Demonstrating knowledge and expertise in inspecting protective coatings. 

3. Apply the knowledge and expertise in the inspection of industrial coating projects. 

Having a NACE inspection can save time and money because it minimizes problems during the coating process. Quality control ensures the proper application of coatings and ensures they meet the project’s requirements. Finally, safety concerns are reduced when the coating fails to perform as expected.
