Shot And Grit Blasting Comparators

Shot and grit blasting comparators are essential tools used to evaluate surface roughness and cleanliness levels achieved during abrasive blasting processes. These comparators provide a standardized reference for assessing the surface profile, ensuring it meets industry specifications before coating or painting. Commonly used in shipbuilding, construction, and metal fabrication industries, they help maintain consistent surface preparation, which is critical for coating adhesion and corrosion resistance. Typically made from stainless steel or durable alloys, they display profiles produced by different abrasives like steel shot or grit. By comparing blasted surfaces against these benchmarks, inspectors and technicians ensure precision, quality, and compliance in surface treatment operations.
