This glossary explains the standards, grades and technical terms used when planning shot blasting, surface preparation and coating handover. The final requirement always follows the project specification and relevant current standard.
Published project images can illustrate a recorded surface-preparation process, but they are not a substitute for licensed ISO 8501-1 visual reference photographs. Use the current standard and agreed inspection basis where formal visual comparison is required.
Read the Steel Surface Preparation guide, review the ISO 8501-1 glossary entry, or discuss the project's preparation and coating handover requirements with the relevant service team.
