DUST TAPE TEST. INCLUDES DUST TEST TAPE & DUST TEST COMPARATOR
Assess the quantity and size of dust particles on steel surfaces prepared for painting. Dust particles on blast-cleaned steel surfaces may reduce the adhesion of applied coatings, and by absorbing moisture may promote the corrosion of the steel surface.
Supplied in a carrying case containing:
- Dust Test Tape (60m roll)
- Dust Test Comparator
- X10 Illuminated Magnifier
Accumulation of dust particles occurs more naturally on horizontal surfaces, the interior of pipes and in structural cavities. Inspection should be carried out to ensure that such areas are adequately cleaned and free from dust particles before painting.
The Dust Test Comparator shows 5 classifications of dust particles and 4 sections of contrasting backgrounds where the Tape can be applied.
The Dust Tape Test is suitable for the assessment of dust particles retained after blast-cleaning on rust grades A, B and C.
Because of the limited elasticity of the Tape, it is not possible to penetrate into the deep pits present on blast-cleaned steel rust grade D.
Tape Adhesion Strength: 190nN/metre
Tape Width: 25mm (1”)
Tape Length: 60 metres.
Tape Storage: Do not expose the Tape to any extremes of temperature or daylight.
Tape Shelf Life: We would recommend that the Tape is used within a 12-month period from date of purchase.
