11、th Floor Pittsburgh, PA 15222 (telephone +1 412/281-2331) Printed by NACE InternationalNACE No. 4/SSPC-SP 7 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 protectiv
12、e 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 brush-off blast cleaning. White metal blast cleaning, near-whi
13、te metal blast cleaning, commercial blast cleaning, and industrial blast cleaning are addressed in separate standards. Brush-off blast cleaning provides a lesser degree of cleaning than industrial blast cleaning (NACE No. 8/SSPC-SP 141). The difference between an industrial blast cleaning and a brus
14、h-off blast cleaning is that the objective of a brush-off blast cleaning is to allow as much of an existing adherent coating to remain as possible and to roughen the surface prior to coating application, whereas the purpose of the industrial blast cleaning is to remove most of the coating, mill scal
15、e, and rust, while the extra effort required to remove every trace of these is determined to be unwarranted. This joint standard was originally prepared in 1994 and revised in 2000 by the SSPC/NACE Task Group (TG) A on Surface Preparation by Abrasive Blast Cleaning. This joint TG includes members of
16、 both the SSPC Surface Preparation Committee and the NACE Unit Committee T-6G on Surface Preparation. It was reaffirmed in 2006 by NACE Specific Technology Group (STG) 04, Protective Coatings and Linings: Surface Preparation, and the SSPC Surface Preparation Committee. In NACE/SSPC standards, the te
17、rms shall, must, should, and may are used in accordance with Paragraph 2.2.1.8 of the Agreement Between NACE International and SSPC: The Society 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
18、is recommended but is not mandatory. The term may is used to state something considered optional. _ NACE No. 4/SSPC-SP 7 ii NACE International _ Joint Surface Preparation Standard NACE No. 4/SSPC-SP 7 Brush-Off Blast Cleaning Contents 1.
