Chlor*Rid

CHLOR RID International, Inc. is the world leader in soluble salt information, measuring devices, and decontamination products for surface preparation. The full line of CHLOR*TEST kits and CHLOR*RID liquid soluble salt remover are recognized as the easiest, most accurate and economical tools for meeting stringent job specifications. Now more than ever, specifications call for ion specific testing of abrasive. Abrasive can have different ionic contamination, such as chloride or sulfate or nitrate. The CHLOR*TEST "A" for abrasive, which operates on ASTM D4940 principles, provides ion specific quantitative results for chloride. An expanded CHLOR*TEST "A" version is available which provides ion specific results for chloride, sulfate and nitrate. Visit www.chlor-rid.com for information on any of our products, or contact us at 1-800-422-3217.

SSPC maintains four 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. This webinar on shop/field testing of abrasives for conformance to SSPC Abrasive Standards will describe the conformance tests invoked for each of these standards along with sampling frequencies. Additional “pre-production” field tests that may benefit the contractor (e.g., surface profile yield) will also be described. Participants will be eligible to receive credit from SSPC.
