Verification of surface cleanliness after power and hand tool cleaning using only the written standards prepared by SSPC can be left to interpretation and result in subjective evaluations and controversy on a project. Using the SSPC visual guide can reduce the degree of subjectivity associated with evaluating surface cleanliness. The SSPC VIS 3 visual guide depicts 7 initial conditions of steel (4 uncoated and 3 degrees of deteriorated coating). Surfaces prepared to 4 levels of cleanliness (hand tool, power tool, commercial grade power tool and power tool to bare metal) over each initial condition are provided. Additional images depicting the restoration of surface profile on previously coated surfaces prepared to bare metal (SSPC-SP 11) are also provided. Made in the USA.
