This guide describes the use of reference photographs depicting the appearance of unpainted, painted, rusteed, and welded hot-rolled carbon steel prior to and after power- and hand-tool cleaning.
Each color photograph provides one possible illustration of the minimum acceptable level of cleanliness.
The photographs are intended to be used to supplement the written SSPC power- and hand-tool surface preparation standards.
This guide is in three languages: English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
