Applicable Standards & Specifications
BS EN ISO 8501-1
Sa 2.5 or Sa 3
NACE SP0169 (external corrosion)
BS EN 10290
Surface Condition
Before blasting: Mill scale, rust, old coatings, weld seam contamination
After blasting: Sa 2.5 or Sa 3 cleanliness; 50–75 µm profile for fusion-bonded epoxy or polyurethane
Industries We Serve
Oil and gas
Water utilities
Chemical processing
District heating
When to Choose Shot Blasting
External pipe corrosion is the leading cause of pipeline failure. Shot blasting to Sa 2.5 or Sa 3 before fusion-bonded epoxy or polyurethane coating is the industry standard for pipelines in buried and immersed environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What cleanliness levels can you achieve for pipework?
We achieve high cleanliness levels suitable for food-grade, pharmaceutical, and chemical applications, meeting specific industry requirements for each sector.
Can you blast stainless steel pipework without damaging it?
Yes, we use appropriate blast media such as aluminum oxide or glass bead, combined with controlled pressure settings, to clean stainless steel without embedding contaminants or damaging the passive layer. We can also coo
Do you provide certification for food-grade or pharmaceutical pipework?
Yes, we can provide material certificates, process documentation, and cleanliness certification as required for regulated industries. We maintain full traceability and quality records for all processed components.
What size pipework can you accommodate?
We can process pipework ranging from small bore (1/2 inch) up to large diameter pipes and manifolds. Our facility can accommodate spools up to 6 meters in length. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
