This standard, SSPC-SP 10 (WAB)/NACE WAB-2, defines the "Near-White Metal" level of surface cleanliness for wet abrasive methods. Other levels in overview below.
This standard defines the process for preparing a carbon steel surface to the near-white metal degree of surface cleanliness using a dry abrasive blast method of cleaning. It is intended for use by coating or lining specifiers, applicators, inspectors, or others whose responsibility is to specify a standard degree of surface cleanliness for carbon steel surfaces to be achieved by dry abrasive blast cleaning. or to prepare or inspect carbon steel to conform to defined requirements.
The primary functions of blast cleaning before coating are
a) to remove material from the surface that can cause early failure of the coating, and
b) to obtain a suitable surface profile (roughness) to enhance the adhesion of the new coating system.
