BS EN ISO 11124-2:2018

Comprehensive Technical Specifications for Metallic Blast-Cleaning Abrasives

BS EN ISO 11124-2:2018 is the essential standard for manufacturers, suppliers, and users of metallic blast-cleaning abrasives. This British Standard, identical to ISO 11124-2:2018, provides detailed technical specifications and requirements to ensure the quality, safety, and performance of these critical surface preparation materials.

Ensure Compliance and Consistent Quality

Adherence to BS EN ISO 11124-2:2018 is crucial for organizations involved in the production, distribution, and application of metallic blast-cleaning abrasives. This standard specifies the requirements for:

• Chemical composition and physical properties
• Grading and size distribution
• Contaminant levels and impurities
• Packaging, labeling, and traceability
• Sampling and test methods

By following the guidelines outlined in this standard, manufacturers can ensure the consistent quality and performance of their metallic blast-cleaning abrasives. Suppliers and users can also have confidence in the materials they source or apply, knowing they meet rigorous international standards.

Optimize Surface Preparation and Finishing

Metallic blast-cleaning abrasives play a vital role in surface preparation and finishing processes across a wide range of industries, including:

• Automotive and aerospace
• Shipbuilding and marine
• Construction and infrastructure
• Oil and gas
• General manufacturing

BS EN ISO 11124-2:2018 helps ensure that these critical materials meet the necessary specifications for effective and efficient surface preparation, leading to improved coating adhesion, corrosion resistance, and overall product quality.

Comprehensive Technical Guidance

This British Standard provides detailed technical guidance on a wide range of parameters, including:

• Chemical Composition: Specifies the acceptable levels of key elements, such as carbon, sulfur, and phosphorus, to ensure the abrasives' suitability for various applications.
• Physical Properties: Outlines requirements for characteristics like hardness, density, and particle shape, which can impact the abrasives' performance and efficiency.
• Grading and Size Distribution: Establishes guidelines for the size fractions and particle size distribution, which are critical for achieving the desired surface finish and profile.
• Contaminant Levels: Specifies the maximum allowable levels of impurities, such as soluble salts and heavy metals, to prevent surface contamination and ensure compatibility with coatings and finishes.
• Packaging and Labeling: Provides requirements for the packaging, labeling, and traceability of metallic blast-cleaning abrasives to maintain quality and enable effective supply chain management.
• Sampling and Testing: Outlines the procedures for sampling and testing the abrasives to verify compliance with the standard's requirements.

By adhering to the comprehensive technical specifications outlined in BS EN ISO 11124-2:2018, organizations can optimize their surface preparation and finishing processes, ensuring consistent quality, improved productivity, and reduced rework or defects.
