11、 Sixth Floor Pittsburgh, PA 15222 (telephone +1 412/281-2331) Printed by NACE InternationalNACE No. 3/SSPC-SP 6 NACE International i _ Foreword This joint standard covers the use of blast cleaning abrasives to achieve a defined degree of cleaning of steel surfaces prior to the application of a prote
12、ctive coating or lining system. This standard is intended for use by coating or lining specifiers, applicators, inspectors, or others who may be responsible for defining a standard degree of surface cleanliness. The focus of this standard is commercial blast cleaning. White metal blast cleaning, nea
13、r-white metal blast cleaning, industrial blast cleaning, and brush-off blast cleaning are addressed in separate standards. Commercial blast cleaning provides a greater degree of cleaning than industrial blast cleaning (NACE No. 8/SSPC-SP 141) but less than near-white metal blast cleaning (NACE No. 2
14、/SSPC-SP 102). Commercial blast cleaning is used when the objective is to remove all visible oil, grease, dust, dirt, mill scale, rust, coating, oxides, corrosion products, and other foreign matter, leaving staining or shadows on no more than 33 percent of each unit area of surface. The difference b
15、etween a commercial blast cleaning and a near-white metal blast cleaning is in the amount of staining permitted to remain on the surface. Commercial blast cleaning allows stains or shadows on 33 percent of each unit area of surface. Near-white metal blast cleaning allows staining or shadows on only
16、5 percent of each unit area of surface. The difference between a commercial blast cleaning and an industrial blast cleaning is that a commercial blast cleaning removes all visible oil, grease, dust, dirt, mill scale, rust, coating, oxides, corrosion products, and other foreign matter from all surfac
17、es and allows stains to remain on 33 percent of each unit area of surface, while industrial blast cleaning allows defined mill scale, coating, and rust to remain on less than 10 percent of each unit area of surface and allows defined stains to remain on all surfaces. This joint standard was original
18、ly prepared in 1994 and reaffirmed in 1999 by the SSPC/NACE Task Group (TG) A on Surface Preparation by Abrasive Blast Cleaning. This joint TG includes members of both the SSPC Surface Preparation Committee and the NACE Unit Committee T-6G on Surface Preparation. It was reaffirmed in 2006 by NACE Sp
19、ecific Technology Group (STG) 04, Protective Coatings and Linings: Surface Preparation, and the SSPC Surface Preparation Committee. In NACE/SSPC standards, the terms shall, must, should, and may are used in accordance with Paragraph 2.2.1.8 of the Agreement Between NACE International and SSPC: The S
20、ociety for Protective Coatings. The terms shall and must are used to state mandatory requirements. The term should is used to state something considered good and is recommended but is not mandatory. The term may is used to state something considered optional. _ NACE No. 3/SSPC-SP 6 ii NACE Internati
