12、0 NACE WAB-8/SSPC-SP 14 (WAB) NACE International i Foreword This NACE/SSPC joint standard defines the process for preparing a carbon steel surface to the Industrial degree of surface cleanliness using a wet abrasive blast (WAB) method of cleaning. This standard is intended for use by coating or lini
13、ng specifiers, applicators, inspectors, or others whose responsibility is to define a standard degree of surface cleanliness for carbon steel surfaces to be achieved by wet abrasive blast cleaning. WAB cleaning is a process using a mixture of water and abrasive that can produce various levels of sur
14、face cleanliness and surface profile (roughness) similar to those obtained with dry abrasive blast (DAB) cleaning. WAB cleaning may be specified when dust suppression is desired, and may also be a means for reducing soluble salt contamination. The WAB cleanliness level specified should be the same a
15、s the corresponding degree of cleaning specified if DAB cleaning were the process being used. The focus of this standard 860is Industrial WAB cleaning. The five degrees of WAB cleaning are as follows: Degree of Surface Cleanliness Designation White Metal WAB NACE WAB-1/SSPC-SP 5 (WAB)1 Near-White Me
16、tal WAB NACE WAB-2/SSPC-SP 10 (WAB)2 Commercial WAB NACE WAB-3/SSPC-SP 6 (WAB3 Industrial WAB NACE WAB-8/SSPC-SP 14 (WAB) Brush-Off WAB NACE WAB-4/SSPC-SP 7 (WAB)4 Industrial WAB Cleaning provides a greater degree of cleaning than Brush-Off WAB Cleaning (NACE WAB-4/SSPC-SP 7 WAB) but a lesser degree
17、 of cleaning than Commercial WAB Cleaning (NACE WAB-3/SSPC-SP 6 WAB. Industrial WAB Cleaning allows tightly adherent paint, mill scale and rust to remain on no more than 10% of each unit area of surface. Brush-off WAB Cleaning allows all tightly adherent paint, mill scale and rust to remain on the s
18、urface. Commercial WAB Cleaning allows staining to remain on no more than 33% of each unit area of surface, but requires removal of all coating, mill scale, and rust. This standard references the three levels of flash rust as defined in the NACE/SSPC joint standards for waterjetting (see Paragraph 3
19、.1).5-8 Additional information regarding flash rust is provided in Nonmandatory Appendixes A, B, and C. Steel surfaces prepared by WAB cleaning can develop flash rust within minutes after the cleaning is completed. The project specification often contains requirements for the permissible level of fl
20、ash rust before coating application. Additional information is provided in Paragraph A1 in Appendix A and in Appendix C. NACE WAB-8/SSPC-SP 14 (WAB) ii NACE International This standard was prepared in 2015 by NACE/SSPC Joint Task Group (TG) 350D, “Industrial Surface Preparation by Wet Abrasive Blast
21、 Cleaning.” TG 350D is administered by NACE Specific Technology Group (STG) 04, “Coatings and Linings, Protective: Surface Preparation”; and SSPC C.2 Surface Preparation Group Committee. This joint standard is issued by NACE/SSPC under the auspices of NACE STG 04 and SSPC C.2. This standard is one o
22、f a set of five standards on the degrees of surface cleanliness to be achieved by WAB cleaning. In NACE/SSPC standards, the terms shall, must, should, and may are used in accordance with the definitions of these terms in the NACE/SSPC Joint Publications Style Manual, Paragraph 2.2.1.8. Shall and mus
23、t 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 International iii _ Joint NACE Standard Practice/SSPC Surface Preparation Standard NACE WA

26、1: Assessment of Degree of Flash RushTape Pull Test 11 _ NACE WAB-8/SSPC-SP 14 (WAB) NACE International 1 _ Section 1: General 1.1 A (WAB-cleaned surface is one prepared by combining water and abrasive in a blast cleaning operation by one of several methods, which include: 1) injection of water into
27、 the abrasive stream either internally or externally as the abrasive stream exits the blast nozzle; 2) injection of abrasive into pressurized water; or 3) use of an abrasive slurry under pressure to achieve the specified WAB degree of cleanliness. 1.2 This standard defines the Industrial Wet Abrasiv
28、e Blast Cleaning (NACE WAB-8/SSPC-SP 14 WAB) degree of visible surface cleanliness of uncoated or coated steel surfaces achieved by the use of wet abrasive blast cleaning. The requirements include the end condition of the surface as determined by visual inspection, and materials and procedures used
29、to achieve and verify the end condition. 1.3 This standard is limited to requirements for visible surface contaminants. Additional information on nonvisible contamination is provided in Paragraph A2 of Appendix A. Additional information on soluble salt testing is provided in SSPC-Guide 15.9 1.4 Info
30、rmation about the function of WAB cleaning is provided in Paragraph A3 of Appendix A. 1.5 Information about use of this standard in maintenance coating work is provided in Paragraph A4 of Appendix A. _ Section 2: Definitions 2.1 Industrial WAB Cleaned Surface: An Industrial WAB cleaned surface, when
31、 viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dirt, dust, loose mill scale, loose rust, and loose coating. Traces of tightly adherent mill scale, rust, and coating residues are permitted to remain on up to 10% of each unit area of the surface. Mill scale, rust, and coating
32、 are considered tightly adherent if they cannot be removed by lifting with a dull putty knife after abrasive blast cleaning has been performed. Shadows, streaks, and discolorations caused by stains of rust, stains of mill scale, and stains of previously applied coating may be present on the remainde
33、r of the surface. 2.1.1 The shape, configuration, and design of structures can lead to areas of limited accessibility for blast cleaning. Examples include crevices around rivets or fasteners, and behind or between tightly configured back-to-back angles. Because of the limited accessibility, these ar
34、eas are exempt from the 10% restrictions established in Paragraph 2.1. However, all surfaces in limited-access areas shall be subjected to the abrasive blast, and on completion of cleaning, old coating, rust, and mill scale are permitted to remain provided they are tightly adherent as determined usi
35、ng a dull putty knife. _ Section 3: Additional Technical Considerations 3.1 Flash Rust: Flash rust is an oxidation product that forms as a wetted carbon steel substrate dries. Flash rust is an additional consideration when a carbon steel substrate is subjected to WAB cleaning. Additional information
36、 is provided in Section 8. Degrees of flash rust may be qualitatively described as follows: 3.1.1 No flash rust: A carbon steel surface that, when viewed without magnification, exhibits no visible flash rust. 3.1.2 Light (L) flash rusted surface: A carbon steel surface that, when viewed without magn
37、ification, exhibits small quantities of a rust layer through which the carbon steel substrate may be observed. The rust or discoloration may be evenly distributed or present in patches, but it is tightly adherent and not easily removed by lightly wiping with a cloth. (Table C1 in Appendix C provides
38、 flash rust evaluation criteria if the tape pull test is specified for assessing the degree of flash rust.) 3.1.3 Moderate (M) flash rusted surface: A carbon steel surface that, when viewed without magnification, exhibits a layer of rust that obscures the original carbon steel surface. The rust laye
39、r may be evenly distributed or present in patches, but it is reasonably well adherent and leaves light marks on a cloth that is lightly wiped over the surface. (Table C1 Appendix C provides flash rust evaluation criteria if the tape pull test is specified for assessing the degree of flash rust.) NAC
40、E WAB-8/SSPC-SP 14 (WAB) 2 NACE International 3.1.4 Heavy (H) flash rusted surface: A carbon steel surface that, when viewed without magnification, exhibits a layer of heavy rust that hides the original carbon steel surface completely. The rust may be evenly distributed or present in patches, but it
41、 is loosely adherent, easily comes off, and leaves significant marks on a cloth that is lightly wiped over the surface. (Table C1 in Appendix C provides flash rust evaluation criteria if the tape pull test is specified for assessing the degree of flash rust.) 3.1.5 Additional information is provided
42、 in A3, A5, A6, and A7 of Appendix A. Additional information on methods of assessing the degree of flash rust is provided in Appendix C. 3.1.6 NOTE: When performing the wipe test mentioned in Paragraphs 3.1.2, 3.1.3 and 3.1.4 and described in Paragraph C2 of Appendix C, the angular profile that resu
43、lts from surface preparation using WAB cleaning can pull lint from a cloth. The pressure-sensitive tape pull test, which is an alternate technique for determining the level of flash rust that does not involve cloth and will not deposit lint on a WAB-cleaned surface, is described in Appendix C. 3.2 A
44、ppearance Variations 3.2.1 Acceptable variations in appearance that do not affect the degree of surface cleanliness defined in Paragraph 2.1 include variations caused by composition of the metallic substrate, original surface condition, thickness of the metal, weld metal, mill or fabrication marks,
45、heat treating, heat-affected zones, and differences resulting from the abrasive blast pattern. 3.2.2 The visual appearance of WAB-cleaned surfaces is not necessarily the same as the visual appearance of DAB cleaned surfaces. Visual guides or reference photographs, such as SSPC-VIS 110, prepared as a
46、 guide to the amount of material or staining allowed to remain on the cleaned surface for the various degrees of DAB cleaning, do not depict the appearance of the flash rust that often occurs with WAB cleaning. Visual guides or reference photographs prepared for DAB cleaned surfaces must not be used
47、 as inspection or judgment criteria for WAB-cleaned surfaces. Direct correlation to existing dry abrasive blasting standards and visual comparators may be inaccurate, inappropriate, or both. 3.3 NACE VIS-9/SSPC-VIS 5 or other visual guide or comparator may be specified to supplement the written defi
48、nition.11 In any dispute, the written standard shall take precedence over the visual guide or comparator. Additional information is provided in Paragraph A6 of Appendix A and in Appendix B. _ Section 4: Associated Documents 4.1 Documents cited in the mandatory sections of this standard include: Document Title SSPC-AB 112 Mineral and Slag Abrasives SSPC-SP 113 Solvent Cleaning ASTM D 428515
