Surface cleanliness after blasting

The surface must be very thoroughly blast cleaned (Sa 2 ½) per ISO 8501-1.

Product Description
Dust Tape Test using the Dust Test Tape and Dust Test Comparator will allow you to assess the quantity and size of dust particles on blast-cleaned steel.
Dust particles on blast-cleaned steel surfaces may reduce the adhesion of applied coatings, and by absorbing moisture may promote the corrosion of the steel surface.
All items are supplied in an industrial Carrying Case with Dust Test Tape (60m), Dust Test Comparator and X10 Illuminated Magnifier.
Compliant to ISO 8502-3.



Technical Specification
Accumulation of dust particles occurs more naturally on horizontal surfaces, the interior of pipes and in structural cavities.  
Inspection should be carried out to ensure that such areas are adequately cleaned and free from dust particles before painting.
The pressure-sensitive Dust Test Tape is pressed onto the steel surface prepared for painting.  
The Tape with the dust particles adhering to it is removed and placed on the Dust Test Comparator in a section which contrasts to that of the dust particles and is examined visually.  
The quantity of dust particles adhering to the Tape and the dust particle size is then compared.
The Dust Test Comparator shows 5 classifications of dust particles and 4 sections of contrasting backgrounds where the Tape can be applied.

Requirements: Dust quantity and dust size must not exceed class 1

Ref : 274-P4001

Dust Test Comparator

Ref : 274-PS202.  
Dust Test Comparator when used with the Dust Test Tape will allow you to assess the quantity and size of dust particles on blast-cleaned steel.
The Dust Test Comparator Chart shows 5 classifications of dust particles and 4 sections of contrasting backgrounds where the Dust Test Tape can be applied.
Compliant to ISO 8502-3.

Requirements: Dust quantity and dust size must not exceed class 1
The Dust Test Tape is applied with thumb pressure to the Dust Test Comparator in a section which contrasts to the colour of the dust.
The quantity and size of dust particles on the Tape is assessed by visually comparing an area of the Tape with equivalent-sized areas of the pictorial references shown on the Comparator.
