ISO8501-4 :
Preparation grades of coated and uncoated steel substrates after overall removal of rust and
previous coatings by High pressure water jetting.
High pressure water jetting = a technique of cleaning where a high velocity of water is
propelled onto the substrate to be cleaned. The high velocity
is produced by passing water through a specially designed
nozzle with a small orifice (opening).
ADVANTAGES:
1. Water soluble chemicals or salt contaminants present to the surface will also be removed.
2. Efficient method for removal of chalking without damaging the underlying intact paint.
3. It does not produce sparks (vonken zoals bij stralen), so no explosion hazard. Therefore
it’s a good surface preparation for tanks containing substances with a high degree of
explosion hazard.
4. No dust and pollution to be inhaled or which contaminates other areas/objects.
5. The solids left in the water after cleaning is chemical waste, but will not be as much as
with abrasive blasting.
6. It cleans and restores existing surface profile !!!!
7. Excellent result without edge curling (as with abrasive blasting)
DISADVANTAGES:
Notes:
Burst rate levels of pumps/hoses/fittings should be at least 2,5-3 times the working
pressure for safety !!
Normal consumption of the jetting units is 5-175 ltrs per minute.
Lower pressures consume more water !
The operator must hold the nozzle/lance towards the surface before pressurizing the
system
Adjust the pressure gradually till the required working pressure is reached
The back thrust (tegendruk) should not exceed one third of the operaters body weight
Any equipment malfunction should be repaired before pressurizing the system
Distance to surface 1-5 cm !!!
Nozzle – surface angle:
Flash rust
These specific chemicals are based on either phosphoric acids or certain amines.
They are sprayed onto the surface as a mist before the surface is dry, or added to the
pressurized water.
