Verification of surface cleanliness after wet abrasive blast cleaning using only the written standards for dry abrasive blast cleaning jointly prepared by SSPC and NACE 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 5/NACE VIS 9 visual guide depicts 2 initial conditions of steel (rusted; rusted & pitted). Surfaces prepared to 2 levels of cleanliness (SSPC-SP 6/NACE 3 Commercial Blast and SSPC-SP 10/NACE 2 Near-white Blast) over each initial condition are provided. Additional images depicting three levels of rust-back (light, medium and heavy) are also provided. Made in the USA.
