What is BS ISO 11125-9 about?
ISO 11125 discusses the preparation of steel substrates before the application of paints and related products. ISO 11125-9 is the ninth part of the ISO 11125 multi-series and discusses wear testing and performance.
ISO 11125-9 specifies three procedures to test the service life of a blast-cleaning abrasive under laboratory conditions. The performance of an abrasive is also measured by its ability to clean, via transmission of kinetic energy to the substrate in the blasting process.
ISO 11125-9 also specifies the procedures that can be performed in the same testing machines to help evaluate abrasive performance under laboratory conditions. ISO 11125-9 applies to the testing of virgin metallic blasting media in the delivery state by centrifugal blasting under laboratory conditions.
Who is ISO 11125-9 for?
ISO 11125-9 on the preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products is useful for:
- Steel product manufacturers
- Interior and exterior designers
- Quality control manufacturers
Why should you use ISO 11125-9?
The service life of metallic blast-cleaning abrasives is determined by various factors. It is dependent on the substrate itself, on the blasting system and its operating parameters, as well as on the blasting media. Therefore, laboratory testing can only give an indication of the consumption or wear of the metallic blast-cleaning abrasive.
ISO 11125-9 gives you the test of the effect of wear and consumption. The results from the test in ISO 11125-9 can be used for comparison purposes (quality inspection) or for monitoring (quality control) of the deliveries for uniformity.
