Webinar Explores New Regulations
What do you need to know to ensure the abrasives you use conform to SSPC standards? That's the subject of the latest free webinar from JPCL and SSPC.
“Shop/Field Testing of Abrasives for Compliance to SSPC Abrasive Standards” will be presented at 11 a.m. ET Wednesday, Dec. 8, by Bill Corbett of KTA-Tator.
Corbett will explore the four SSPC Abrasive (AB) Standards, including AB 1 for mineral and slag abrasives, AB 2 for the cleanliness of recycled ferrous metallic abrasives, AB 3 for ferrous metallic abrasives and AB 4 for recyclable encapsulated abrasive media.
He will describe the conformance tests invoked for each of the standards as well as sampling frequencies. Additional “pre-production” field tests that may benefit the contractor (e.g., surface profile yield) will also be discussed.
Webinar participants will be eligible to receive continuing education credits from SSPC.
Participants may register here free.
