· The above table assumes clean up bills are equally applicable. In many

instances, the non-toxic nature and colour of Visy Abrasives eliminate clean

up costs.

· All test results depend on set-up conditions and surfaces blasted.

Dry Blast Cleaning Rate Comparison.

Industrial Abrasives – Vision Glass

Conducted by: Surface Finishing Skills Center Pty Ltd Melbourne.

1. Introduction: Instructions were received to compare the blast cleaning rate of various abrasives on “A” Grade steel.

The following abrasives were compared.

· Zinc Slag

· Garnet

· Limenite

· Copper Slag

· Steel Shot Vision Glass

Three (3) grades of Vision Glass abrasive were tested.

2. Testing

Dry blasting tests for cleaning rates were conducted using a

9.5mm nozzle and 620KPa (90 psi) air pressure at the nozzle.

Nominally, a 500mm x 500mm area of Grade “A” steel sheet

was blasted clean. A new uncleaned surface was used for each

blasting abrasive.

The surfaces were inspected, compared against visual

standards to AS1627-Part 9. The surfaces were also examined

with a 30X magnifier (not required by AS1627-Part 9) Testex

“ Press-O-Film” was used to determine surface profile.

3. Results The results for cleaning rate (m²/hour), class of blast achieved

(AS1627-Part 9) and surface profile (using Testex) are as

follows:-

case.

4. Discussion.

There is some surprise at the results using Visy Technology “Visy

Glass” grit. There was an expectation that the softer “Visy Glass” grit would be to „soft” to cut into the steel and might even skid across the surface rather than cut into the surface.

Because of this concern a piece of very rusty steel (AS1627-Part

9-Grade „D” ) was blasted with the “Visy Glass” 1.2-600. A class 2.5 blast clean was obtained very easily and quickly.
