Dry Run Simulator 

The dry run simulator is used to demonstrate the operation of the PT100 temperature 

sensor in the connection head of the feed pump. 

Disconnect both white wires from terminals 3 & 4 (Fig 1) and connect the brown wire 

from the dry run simulator to terminal 3 and the blue wire to terminal 4 (Fig2) 

Fig 1 Fig 2 Fig 3 Fig 4 

Note: All other wires have been removed from the connection head for clarity, but for demonstration 

will need to remain connected. 

‘Motor cut out’ to terminals 1 & 2 and 24 volts DC - To terminal 5. + To terminal 6. 

To demonstrate the dry run cut out device is working first make sure there is a fresh/clean sea water 

supply to the inlet of the feed pump, prime the feed pump with water, turn on the main isolator switch, 

turn the dry run simulator control knob to the NORMAL position (Fig 3), press the start button. 

The feed pump will operate; turn the dry run simulator control knob to the DRY RUN POINT position 

(Fig4), the pump will stop. 

Turn the dry run simulator control knob back to the NORMAL position (Fig 3), press the start button again 

and the feed pump will operate. 

Press the stop button, turn off the main isolator, disconnect the simulator and reconnect the two white 

wires.

A brief explanation on how the amperage of a device is calculated. 

Resistive Load 

• Resistive loads are typically those in which electricity produces heat or light, or both, rather 

than movement. Typical examples of resistive loads include incandescent light bulbs and 

immersion heaters. 

Inductive Load 

• Inductive loads are loads from electrical devices in which electricity circulates through 

wound or coiled wire. Typical examples of inductive loads include motors, relays, solenoids 

and transformers. The rule of thumb is if the load has movement it is generally inductive. 

The power used by a resistive load can be calculated with the formula P = V x I, where P represents 

power, measured in watts, V represents voltage, measured in volts, and I represents current, 

measured in amperes, according to Ohm’s Law. 

Example 1: 

If we take an electric kettle running on 240 volts single phase at 12.5 amperes we get 3000 watts 

V x I = P 240 x 12.5 = 3000 

However, the power of an inductive load cannot be calculated in the same way because an inductive 

load returns some of the energy used back to the source. A resistive load uses 100 percent of its 

power to produce work, whereas an inductive load uses some power to operate—in the case of an 

electric motor, to magnetize the core—and the remainder to produce work. 

We have a 1.1 Kilowatt 3 phase 4 pole electric motor running on a 415 volt 3 phase power supply 

Kw x 1000 

1100 Watts 

√3 x V x pf 1.73 x 415 x 0.65 

= 2.357 Amperes, this is rounded up to 2.40 A 

√3 = the square root of 3 

(V = Voltage) 415 is the line to line voltage, the voltage between two of the three phases L1 & L2 

(pf =Power Factor) 

Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional 

to the potential difference across the two points. Introducing the constant of proportionality, 

the resistance one arrives at the usual mathematical equation that describes this relationship: 

In circuit analysis, three equivalent expressions of Ohm's law are used interchangeably:

Each equation is quoted by some sources as the defining relationship of Ohm's law or all three are 

quoted, or derived from a proportional form, or even just the two that do not correspond to Ohm's 

original statement may sometimes be given 

The way you can change the equation may be represented by a triangle, where V is the voltage and 

is placed on the top section, I is the current and is placed to the left section, and R is the resistance 

and is placed to the right. 

The line that divides the left and right sections indicate multiplication, and the divider between the 

top and bottom sections indicates division (hence the division bar). 

Power Factor 

In AC circuits, the power factor is the ratio of the Real Power that is used to do work and the 

Apparent Power that is supplied to the circuit. 

The power factor can get values in the range from 0 to 1. 

When all the power is reactive power with no real power (usually inductive load) - the power factor 

is 0.? 

When all the power is real power with no reactive power (resistive load) - the power factor is 1. 

Real power 

Real power is the power that is used to do the work on the load. 

P = Vrms Irms cos φ

The above equation states P (power) is equal to the Voltage root mean square x the amperage root 

mean square x the cosine impedance phase angle. 

P 

is the real power in watts [W] 

Vrms is the rms voltage = Vpeak/√2 in Volts [V] 

Irms is the rms current = Ipeak/√2 in Amperes [A] 

φ 

is the impedance phase angle = phase difference between voltage and current. 

Reactive power 

Reactive power is the power that is wasted and not used to do work on the load. 

Q = Vrms Irms sin φ 

Q 

is the reactive power in volt-ampere-reactive [VAR] 



φ 

is the impedance phase angle = phase difference between voltage and current. 

Apparent power 

The apparent power is the power that is supplied to the circuit. 

S = Vrms Irms 

S 

is the apparent power in Volt-amper [VA] 



Real / reactive / apparent powers relation 

The real power P and reactive power Q give together the apparent power S: 

P 2 + Q 2 = S 2

Surface 

Preparation 

The performance of this product will depend upon the degree of surface preparation. The surface to be coated 

should be clean, dry and free from contamination. Prior to paint application all surfaces should be assessed 

and treated in accordance with ISO 8504:2000. 

Accumulated dirt and soluble salts must be removed. Dry bristle brushing will normally be adequate for 

accumulated dirt. Soluble salts should be removed by fresh water washing. 

Abrasive Blast Cleaning 

For immersion service, Interseal 670HS must be applied to surfaces blast cleaned to Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007) 

or SSPC-SP10. However, for atmospheric exposure best performance will be achieved when Interseal 670HS 

is applied to surfaces prepared to a minimum of Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6. 

Surface defects revealed by the blast cleaning process, should be ground, filled, or treated in the appropriate 

manner. 

A surface profile of 50-75 microns (2-3 mils) is recommended. 

Hand or Power Tool Preparation 

Hand or power tool clean to a minimum St2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP2. 

Note, all scale must be removed and areas which cannot be prepared adequately by chipping or needle gun 

should be spot blasted to a minimum standard of Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6. Typically this would 

apply to C or D grade rusting in this standard. 

Ultra High Pressure Hydroblasting/Abrasive Wet Blasting 

May be applied to surfaces prepared to Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6 which have flash rusted to 

no worse than Grade HB2.5M (refer to International Hydroblasting Standards) or Grade SB2.5M (refer to 

International Slurry blasting Standards). It is also possible to apply to damp surfaces in some circumstances. 

Further information is available from International Protective Coatings. 

Aged Coatings 

Interseal 670HS is suitable for overcoating a limited range of intact, tightly adherent aged coatings. Loose or 

flaking coatings should be removed back to a firm edge. Glossy finishes may require light abrasion to provide 

a physical ‘key’. See Product Characteristics section for further information. 

Application Mixing Material is supplied in two containers as a unit. Always mix a complete unit in the 

proportions supplied. Once the unit has been mixed it must be used within the 

working pot life specified.

International GTA822 

(or GTA415) 

Do not allow material to remain in hoses, gun or spray equipment. Thoroughly flush 

all equipment with International GTA822. Once units of paint have been mixed they 

should not be resealed and it is advised that after prolonged stoppages work 

recommences with freshly mixed units. 

Clean all equipment immediately after use with International GTA822. It is good 

working practice to periodically flush out spray equipment during the course of the 

working day. Frequency of cleaning will depend upon amount sprayed, temperature 

and elapsed time, including any delays. 

All surplus materials and empty containers should be disposed of in accordance 

with appropriate regional regulations/legislation.

Product 

Characteristics 

In order to achieve optimum performance on hand prepared steel, the aluminium pigmented version should be 

applied as a primer coat by brush to ensure thorough wetting out of the substrate by Interseal 670HS. 

For water immersion service, surface preparation to a minimum of Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP10 

followed by application of multi-coats of Interseal 670HS to a total minimum dry film thickness of 250 microns (10 

mils) is required. 

Maximum film build in one coat is best attained by airless spray. When applying by methods other than airless 

spray, the required film build is unlikely to be achieved. Application by air spray may require a multiple cross spray 

pattern to attain maximum film build. Low or high temperatures may require specific application techniques to 

achieve maximum film build. 

If salt water is used in the wet blast process the resulting surface must be thoroughly washed with fresh water 

before application of Interseal 670HS. With freshly blasted surfaces a slight degree of flash rusting is allowable, and 

is preferable to the surface being too wet. Puddles, ponding and accumulations of water must be removed. 

Interseal 670HS may be applied to suitably sealed or primed concrete; contact International Protective Coatings for 

further advice on specification and primers. 

Interseal 670HS is suitable for overcoating intact, aged alkyd, epoxy and polyurethane systems. However, 

this product is not recommended where thermoplastic coatings such as chlorinated rubbers and vinyls have 

previously been used. Please consult International Protective Coatings for alternative recommendations. 

Surface temperature must always be a minimum of 3°C (5°F) above dew point. 

Level of sheen and surface finish is dependent on application method. Avoid using a mixture of application methods 

whenever possible. 

In common with all epoxies Interseal 670HS will chalk and discolour on exterior exposure. However, these 

phenomena are not detrimental to anti-corrosive performance. 

Premature exposure to ponding water will cause a colour change, especially in dark colours. 

Interseal 670HS can be used as a non-skid deck system by modification with addition of GMA132 (crushed flint) 

aggregate. Application should then be to a suitably primed surface. Typical thicknesses will be between 

500-1,000 microns (20-40 mils). Preferred application is by a suitable large tip hopper gun (e.g. Sagola 429 

or Air texture gun fitted with a 5-10 mm nozzle). Trowel or roller can be used for small areas. Alternatively, 

a broadcast method of application can be used. Consult International Protective Coatings for further details. 

Interseal 670HS is certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 (selected colours only). Consult International Protective 

Coatings for further details. Certification is for tanks greater than 100 gallons (378.5 litres), for pipes which are 

6 inches (15 cm) in diameter or greater and for valves which are 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter or greater. 

Low Temperature Curing 

A winter grade curing agent is also available to enable more rapid cure at temperatures less than 10°C (50°F), 

however this curing agent will give an initial shade variation and more rapid discoloration on weathering. 

Interseal 670HS is capable of curing at temperatures below 0°C (32°F). However, this product should not be 

applied at temperatures below 0°C (32°F) where there is a possibility of ice formation on the substrate.

Systems 

Compatibility 

Interseal 670HS will normally be applied to correctly prepared steel substrates. However, it can be used over 

suitably primed surfaces. Suitable primers are: 

• Intercure 200 • Interzinc 315 

• Interplus 356 • Interplus 256 

• Intergard 269 

Where a cosmetically acceptable topcoat is required the following products are recommended: 

• Intercryl 530 • Interfine 878 

• Intergard 740 • Interthane 990 

• Interfine 629HS • Interfine 979 

• Interthane 870

PRODUCT 

CHARACTERISTICS 


Epoxy 

Intergard 251 is preferred for use with systems for chemical environments where zinc based 

materials can be subject to attack in both acidic and alkaline conditions. 

The maximum overcoating interval will be dependent upon the integrity of the exposed film. A film 

of 75 microns (3 mils) dry film thickness will normally be overcoatable after 6-12 months exposure 

(depending upon the corrosivity of the environment) provided it is adequately cleaned and any 

areas of mechanical damage repaired. 

Over-application should be avoided as thick films will not be as good a substrate for topcoat 

adhesion after ageing as those at the specified thickness. When using as a blast holding primer 

avoid over-application as thick films may suffer from cohesive film splitting if subsequent coats are 

also over-applied. 

Over-application of Intergard 251 will extend both the minimum overcoating periods and handling 

times, and may be detrimental to long term overcoating properties. 

When applying Intergard 251 by brush or roller, it may be necessary to apply multiple coats to 

achieve the total specified system dry film thickness. 

This product will not cure adequately below 5°C (41°F). For maximum performance, curing 

temperatures should be above 10°C (50°F). 

Surface temperature must always be a minimum of 3°C (5°F) above dew point. 

In common with all epoxies Intergard 251 will chalk and discolour on exterior exposure. However, 

these phenomena are not detrimental to anti-corrosive performance. 

Intergard 251 is not designed for continuous water immersion. 

Where a durable cosmetic finish with good gloss and colour retention is required overcoat with 

recommended topcoats. 

Note: VOC values are typical and are provided for guidance purpose only. These may be subject 

to variation depending on factors such as differences in colour and normal manufacturing 

tolerances. 

Low molecular weight reactive additives, which will form part of the film during normal ambient cure 

conditions, will also affect VOC values determined using EPA Method 24. 

SYSTEMS 

COMPATIBILITY 

Intergard 251 is designed for application to correctly prepared steel. However, it is also possible to 

apply over approved prefabrication primers. Further details of these can be obtained from

AVAILABILITY 

This product is not recommended for use in permanantly immersed conditions. 

Interthane 990 may be used on boottop areas at reduced overcoating intervals over appropriate primers. Consult 

International Paint. 

For brush and roller application, and in some colours, two coats of Interthane 990 may be required to give uniform 

coverage, especially when applying Interthane 990 over dark undercoats, and when using certain lead free bright 

colours such as yellows and oranges. Best practice is to use a colour compatible intermediate or anticorrosive 

coating under the Interthane 990. 

Low temperature, high relative humidity and condensation occurring during or immediately after application may 

result in a matt finish and an inferior film. Premature exposure to ponding water will cause colour change, 

especially in dark colours and at low temperatures. 

Overcoating information is given for guidance only and is subject to regional variation depending upon local climate 

and environmental conditions. Consult your local International Paint representative for specific recommendations. 

Apply in good weather. Temperature of the surface to be coated must be at least 3°C (5°F) above the dew point. 

For optimum application properties bring the material to 21-27°C (70-80°F), unless specifically instructed 

otherwise, prior to mixing and application. Unmixed material (in closed containers) should be maintained in 

protected storage in accordance with information given in the STORAGE Section of this data sheet. Technical and 

application data herein is for the purpose of establishing a general guideline of the coating application procedures. 

Test performance results were obtained in a controlled laboratory environment and International Paint makes no 

claim that the exhibited published test results, or any other tests, accurately represent results found in all field 

environments. As application, environmental and design factors can vary significantly, due care should be 

exercised in the selection, verification of performance and use of the coating.
