This tutorial explains how to determine the degree of rusting on painted steel (or iron) surfaces. The 27 reference color photographs and accompanying black and white images show the maximum percentage of rusting allowed for each rust grade 1-9. This standard uses a zero-to-ten scale to determine the degree of rusting on painted steel surfaces based on the proportion of visible rust present.

This article describes how to utilize reference images to show the appearance of previously unpainted, painted, and partially corroded hot-rolled carbon steel before and after abrasive blast cleaning. Over 50 full-color reference photos show the cleanliness requirements for SP 5/NACE 1 (White Metal Blast Cleaning), SP 6/NACE 3 (Commercial Blast Cleaning), SP-7/NACE 4 (Brush-Off Blast Cleaning), SP 10/ANCE 2 (Near-White Blast Cleaning), and SP 14/NACE 8 (Industrial Blast Cleaning), and are used to supplement the written SSPC/NACE blast cleaning surface preparation standards. Includes both English and Spanish languages.

Certified coated metal plates and polystyrene blocks are perfect for testing the accuracy and functioning of coating thickness gages, and they play a significant role in meeting ISO and internal quality control criteria.
Many organizations demand gage accuracy verification at the test site before putting a coating thickness gage into operation, as well as at regular intervals during use. DeFelsko certified coating thickness standards are ideal for this purpose since they feature measurements that can be traced back to a National Metrology Institution.
