Dust Tape Test
Product Description
Dust Tape Test using the Dust Test Tape and Dust Test Charts will allow you to assess the quantity and
size of dust particles on blast-cleaned steel.
Dust particles on blast-cleaned steel surfaces may reduce the adhesion of applied coatings, and by
absorbing moisture may promote the corrosion of the steel surface.
All items are supplied in an industrial foam-filled Carrying Case with Dust Test Tape (60m), Dust Test Charts
(pack of 50) and x10 illuminated Magnifier.
Compliant to ISO 8502-3.
Technical Specification
Assess the quantity and size of dust particles on steel surfaces prepared for painting. Dust particles on blast-
cleaned steel surfaces may reduce the adhesion of applied coatings, and by absorbing moisture may
promote the corrosion of the steel surface.
Accumulation of dust particles occurs more naturally on horizontal surfaces, the interior of pipes and
in structural cavities. Inspection should be carried out to ensure that such areas are adequately cleaned
and free from dust particles before painting.
The pressure-sensitive Dust Test Tape is pressed onto the steel surface prepared for painting. The Tape with
the dust particles adhering to it is removed and placed on the Dust Test Chart in a section which contrasts
to that of the dust particles and is examined visually. The quantity of dust particles adhering to the Tape and
the dust particle size is then compared.
The Dust Test Chart shows 5 classifications of dust particles and 4 sections of contrasting backgrounds where
the Tape can be applied. All details necessary to identify the surface tested can be written on the Chart.
