1.1These test methods cover the description of techniques for measuring the profile of abrasive blast cleaned surfaces in the laboratory, field, or in the fabricating shop. There are additional techniques suitable for laboratory use not covered by these test methods.

1.2Method B may also be appropriate to the measurement of profile produced by using power tools.

1.3SSPC standard SSPC PA 17 provides additional guidance for determining conformance with surface profile requirements.

1.4The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.5This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of whoever uses this standard to consult and establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
