SSPC-VIS 1 Guide and Reference Photographs for Steel Surfaces Prepared by Dry Abrasive Blast Cleaning, SSPC Publication 02-12 Spiral-bound – January 1, 2002

SSPC-VIS 1 is an excellent visual guide for assessing surface preparation standards. The high-quality images and clear comparisons between different degrees of cleanliness make it an invaluable tool for inspectors, contractors, and anyone working with abrasive blasting. It provides a reliable reference that enhances consistency in evaluations, making it a must-have for those in the coatings and corrosion industry.However, the price is significantly higher than expected for a visual standard. While the content is undeniably useful, the cost feels excessive, especially for a resource that serves as a reference rather than a comprehensive training manual. If the price were more reasonable, this would be a five-star product without hesitation.If you need a top-tier visual standard for surface preparation, this is one of the best—just be prepared to pay a premium for it.
