Multi-nozzle spray painting procedure of the inorganic zinc shop primer was established in order to obtain uniform film thickness. The shop primer paint prevents the corrosion of steel block during shipbuilding. When the dry film thickness of shop primer is insufficient, rust will be generated on the steel block. Otherwise, thick coating of shop primer may be a problem of weld defect. So, it is important to obtain the uniform film thickness of shop primer. The uniformity of dry film thickness is affected by spray speed, distance from spray gun to target surface and overlapping span of spray path. In order to uniformly maintain coating thickness of shop primer, the coating procedure was established based on the correlation of shop primer spray variables.

Anticorrosive paint is the most widely used in shipbuilding and the dry film thickness is very important in terms of productivity and assurance of anticorrosive performance. However, it is difficult to achieve the recommended target film thickness because the dry film thickness depends on labor's skill in practice and is affected by a number of parameters, such as spray pressure, paint flow rate, tip size, spray distance, SVR(Solid Volume Ratio), etc. Present paper derives an empirical equation through the correlation analysis of parameters selected by spray experiments of anti corrosive painting in order to predict the coated status. Comparing the calculated results with practical data, we show that the empirical equation can successfully expect DFT(Dry Film Thickness).
