• Relative humidity is greater than 85%
• Any visible moisture is on the surface
• Where the metal temperature to dew point temperature difference is less than
5°F
• During the night. Except rough blasting and should be followed by touch up
during the day.

used. Soft sand shall not be used.
Prior to primer application, the blasted surfaces shall be cleaned of all particulates
with dry oil free compressed air.
Oil and moisture separators shall be used to provide a dry oil free compressed air
supply
Abrasive blast operators shall be qualified and experienced. The operators shall have
a thorough knowledge of all safety equipment used during blasting operation
For intricate and restricted areas where blast/power cleaning is not possible, hand
