ICRI Technical Guideline No. 03732
Not available as an SSPC Organizational Member Free Publication Selection. This document and comparator set provides a useful written and visual guide to selecting an appropriate method of concrete surface preparation prior to the installation of a coating, lining, or other protective system. Discusses the unique aspects of 12 different surface preparation and cleaning methods: detergent scrubbing, low-pressure water cleaning, acid etching, grinding, abrasive blasting, shotblasting, scarifying, needle scaling, high- and ultrahigh-pressure waterjetting, scabbling, flame blasting, and milling/rotomilling. Appendices discuss selection processes, sealers and coatings, safety, and additional reference standards. Published by the International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI)

SSPC-VIS 1
SSPC's most widely used visual reference features over 50 full-color photos of previously coated and uncoated, rusted steel surfaces before and after dry abrasive blast cleaning. Cleanliness requirements for conditions depicted are defined by the SSPC surface preparation specifications for white metal (SP 5), near-white (SP 10), commercial (SP 6), industrial (SP 14), and brush-off (SP 7) blast finishes. Appendix photographs show variations in white metal surfaces caused by different metallic and non-metallic abrasives, profile depth, angle of view, and lighting. Now with guides in both English and Spanish!
SSPC-VIS 2
SSPC's popular rust standard features a series of 27 full color images and 27 black and white diagrams representing various degrees of spot, general, and pinpoint rusting on painted steel surfaces. Text and tables provide a guide to the use of the reference photographs; a scale and description of standard rust grades; a comparison of SSPC, ASTM, ISO, and other rust grade scales; and other useful information.
Systems and Specifications
A complete, up-to-date collection of SSPC standards, guides, specifications, and other consensus documents. Contains SSPC standards for the cleaning and preparation of steel and concrete surfaces, the selection and application of protective coating systems, the basic composition requirements and performance capabilities of paints and coatings, qualification procedures, and other materials, processes, and technologies. Not available on CD-Rom
SSPC-VIS 3
Contains a series of 43 full-color reference photographs to be used as a supplement to the SSPC standards for hand and power tool cleaned steel.
