Steps

  1. Purchase SSPC-VIS 1 ('Guide and Reference Photographs for Steel Surfaces Prepared by Dry Abrasive Blast Cleaning') through the AMPP store
  2. Match the observed blasted surface to the correct initial condition (uncoated rusted vs. degrees of deteriorated coating) before comparing cleanliness
  3. Compare against the appropriate SSPC surface prep level depicted: SP 5 white metal, SP 10 near-white, SP 6 commercial, SP 7 brush-off, SP 14 industrial
  4. Use the guide's appendix photos to account for abrasive type, profile depth, lighting, and viewing-angle differences that affect visual assessment
  5. Pair VIS 1 visual comparison with a quantitative profile measurement (e.g., ASTM D4417) when the spec requires a numeric profile
