surface. Blasting is also required to make up roughness for proper
bonding of paint material to pipe surface.
23. Types of defect on bar pipe ?

27. What is SSPC- - PA 2?
Ans. Coating thickness (DFT) measurement method / standard.
28. After blasting, how to remove garnet from the internal side of the
thank?
Ans. By using dry brush and vacuum / sucking filter.
29. What is maximum blasting profile range?
Ans. 30 to 70um
30. What is the main cause of sagging?
Ans. Over deputation of paint in a concentrated area.
31. What is difference between SSP - SP 7 and NACE 04 ?
Ans. Both are same - Brush off blast clean.
32. What to do if sub-contractor found using profile gauge ?
Ans. What is QCP ?

in it.
33. What is the minimum blasting pressure ?
Ans. 90 PSI.
34. In which direction hypodermic needle gauge is used ?
Ans. Towards nozzle at 45 degree.
35. For what purpose hypodermic needle gauge is used ?
Ans. It is used to measure the blasting air pressure.
