SSPC's most widely used visual reference features over 50 full-color photos of previously coated and uncoated, rusted steel surfaces before and after white metal (SP 5/ NACE 1), near-white (SP 10/NACE 2), commercial (SP 6/NACE 3), industrial (SP 14/NACE 8), and brush-off blast cleaning (SP 7/NACE 4). Appendix photographs show variations in white metal surfaces caused by different metallic and non-metallic abrasives, and by differences in profile depth, angle of view and lighting. Review: SSPC-VIS1 , almost a 5 star - SSPC-VIS 1 is an excellent visual guide for assessing surface preparation standards. The high-quality images and clear comparisons between different degrees of cleanliness make it an invaluable tool for inspectors, contractors, and anyone working with abrasive blasting. It provides a reliable reference that enhances consistency in evaluations, making it a must-have for those in the coatings and corrosion industry. However, the price is significantly higher than expected for a visual standard. While the content is undeniably useful, the cost feels excessive, especially for a resource that serves as a reference rather than a comprehensive training manual. If the price were more reasonable, this would be a five-star product without hesitation. If you need a top-tier visual standard for surface preparation, this is one of the best—just be prepared to pay a premium for it.
