EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 11125-2 testing. This standard specifies a test method for determining the particle size distribution of metallic blast cleaning abrasives by screening.
This is one of a series of sections of ISO 11125 dealing with sampling and testing metallic abrasives for blast cleaning. The types of metallic abrasives and the requirements for each are contained in the various sections of ISO 11124.
ISO 11125-2 is a standard that specifies a method for determining the particle size distribution of metallic blast-cleaning abrasives used in the preparation of steel substrates prior to the application of paints and related products. The standard applies to metallic abrasives used in blasting operations for surface preparation.
The purpose of this standard is to provide a method for determining the particle size distribution of metallic abrasives representative of the entire group or lot of material used. This is important to ensure that the abrasive material meets the required specifications for particle size distribution and to optimize the blasting process for the desired surface preparation.
The test method described in ISO 11125-2 involves taking a representative sample of metallic abrasive and passing it through a series of sieves with progressively smaller mesh sizes. The weight of the abrasive retained in each sieve is determined and the cumulative weight percentages of the material retained in each sieve are calculated. This information is used to construct a particle size distribution curve.
The particle size distribution curve provides information about the range of particle sizes found in the abrasive material and the percentage of material in each size range. This information can be used to determine whether the abrasive material meets the required specifications for particle size distribution and to optimize the blasting process for the desired surface preparation.
ISO 11125-2 is an important standard for the surface preparation industry as it provides a reliable and repeatable method for determining the particle size distribution of metallic blast abrasives. This helps ensure that the abrasive material used in blasting processes meets required specifications and is optimized for the desired surface preparation, which is critical to achieving a high quality surface finish and effective coating adhesion.
