12、int standard defines the Light Cleaning (WJ-4) degree of surface cleanliness of coated or uncoated metallic substrates achieved by the use of waterjet cleaning prior to the application of a protective coating or lining. Waterjet cleaning is the use of pressurized surface preparation water for removi

13、ng coatings and other materials, including hazardous materials, from a substrate to achieve a defined degree of surface cleanliness. Waterjet cleaning includes various methods such as low-pressure water cleaning (LP WC), high-pressure water cleaning (HP WC), high-pressure waterjetting (HP WJ), and u

14、ltrahigh-pressure waterjetting (UHP WJ). The four degrees of surface cleanliness achieved by waterjet cleaning, which are addressed in separate standards, are as follows: Degree of Surface Cleanliness Designation Cleaning to Bare Substrate WJ-1 Very Thorough Cleaning WJ-2 Thorough Cleaning WJ-3 Ligh

15、t Cleaning WJ-4 Light Cleaning (WJ-4) provides a lesser degree of surface cleanliness than Thorough Cleaning (WJ-3). Waterjet cleaning to achieve the Light Cleaning (WJ-4) degree of surface cleanliness is used when the objective is to allow as much of the tightly adherent rust and other corrosion pr

16、oducts, coating, and mill scale to remain as possible, but when the extra effort required to remove more of these materials is determined to be unwarranted. Discoloration of the surface may be present. Waterjet cleaning does not provide the primary anchor pattern on the metallic substrate known as “

17、surface profile.” The coatings industry uses waterjet cleaning primarily for recoating or relining projects in which there is an adequate pre-existing surface profile. The degrees of surface cleanliness cited above to be achieved by waterjet cleaning methods are not intended to require that a surfac

18、e profile be present or defined prior to coating application. Waterjet cleaning reduces and may completely remove water-soluble surface contaminants, notably those contaminants found at the bottom of pits on the surface of corroded metallic substrates. Waterjet cleaning also helps remove oil, grease

19、, rust and other corrosion products, and other foreign matter (for example, shotcrete spatter) from the surface, and is used when it is a more feasible method of surface preparation than, for example, abrasive blast cleaning, power or hand tool cleaning, or chemical stripping. Waterjet cleaning may

20、be used when the application of high-performance coatings requires extensive surface preparation, surface decontamination, or both. This standard is intended for use by coating or lining specifiers, applicators, inspectors, or others who have responsibility to define a standard degree of surface cle

21、anliness to be achieved by waterjet cleaning methods. NACE WJ-4/SSPC-SP WJ 4 ii NACE International This standard was prepared by NACE/SSPC Joint Task Group (TG) 278, “Surface Preparation of Metals to WJ-4 (Light Cleaning) by High-Pressure Waterjetting.” TG 278 is administered by Specific Technology

22、Group (STG) 04, “Coatings and Linings, ProtectiveSurface Preparation,” and is sponsored by STG 02, “Coatings and Linings, ProtectiveAtmospheric,” and STG 03, “Coatings and Linings, ProtectiveImmersion and Buried Service.” This standard is issued by NACE under the auspices of STG 04, and by SSPC Grou

23、p Committee C.2 on Surface Preparation. This standard is one of a set of four standards on degrees of surface cleanliness to be achieved by waterjet cleaning that are intended to replace NACE No. 5/SSPC-SP 12,1which includes all four degrees of surface cleanliness. In NACE/SSPC standards, the terms

24、shall, must, should, and may are used in accordance with Paragraph 2.2.1.8 of the Agreement between NACE International and SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings. The terms shall and must are used to state mandatory requirements. The term should is used to state something considered good and is r

25、ecommended but is not mandatory. The term may is used to state something considered optional. _ NACE WJ-4/SSPC-SP WJ 4 NACE International iii _ NACE/SSPC Joint Surface Preparation Standard Waterjet Cleaning of MetalsLight Cleaning (WJ-4) Contents 1.

28、f surface cleanliness of uncoated or coated metallic substrates by use of waterjet cleaning. The defined degree of cleanliness shall be achieved prior to the application of a specified protective coating or lining system. These requirements include the end condition of the surface and materials and

29、procedures necessary to achieve and verify the end condition, as determined by visual inspection. This standard also may be used in situations in which the degree of surface cleanliness is required, but protective coatings or linings are not immediately applied. (Paragraphs A1 and A2 of Appendix A p

30、rovide additional information.) Waterjet cleaning does not establish but may reveal an existing surface profile on a metallic substrate. If the existing surface profile is not acceptable for subsequent coating application, alternative surface preparation methods to create the required surface profil

31、e must be considered. (Paragraph A3 of Appendix A provides additional information.) 1.1.1 Light Cleaning (WJ-4) is essentially equivalent to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)(1)8501-42 degree of cleanliness Wa 1, light cleaning. ISO 8501-4 notes the use of various common terms

32、 for methods of waterjet cleaning: water jetting, water blast cleaning, hydrojetting, aquajetting, hydroblasting, aquablasting, and “cleaning by directing a jet of pressurized water onto the surface to be cleaned.” 1.1.2 Within the hierarchy of degrees of surface cleanliness achieved by waterjet cle

33、aning, Light Cleaning (WJ-4) is intended to be similar to the degree of surface cleanliness of NACE No. 4/SSPC-SP 7,3except that tightly adherent material, rather than only stains, is permitted to remain on the surface. 1.2 Although carbon steel is the metallic substrate most frequently cleaned in t

34、he field using waterjetting technology, waterjet cleaning may be used on metallic substrates other than carbon steel, including ferrous substrates such as alloy steels, stainless steels, ductile iron, and cast irons, nonferrous substrates such as aluminum, and copper alloys such as bronze. For conve

35、nience, the written definitions of the degrees of surface cleanliness of the metallic substrate use the general term “rust and other corrosion products.” The term “rust” is intended to apply to carbon steel substrates and the term “other corrosion products” (such as surface oxides) is intended to ap

36、ply to metallic substrates other than carbon steel that are being waterjet cleaned. “Flash rust” is an oxidation product that forms as a wetted carbon steel substrate dries. The visual guides and comparators referenced for cleanliness and flash rust only illustrate carbon steel substrates. 1.3 This

37、standard does not address surface preparation of concrete. Information on surface preparation of concrete can be found in NACE No. 6/SSPC-SP 13.41.4 This standard is limited to requirements for visible surface contaminants. Information on nonvisible contamination can be found in Paragraph A8 of Appe

38、ndix A. _ Section 2: Definitions 2.1 Light Cleaning (WJ-4): A metal surface after Light Cleaning, when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dirt, dust, loose mill scale, loose rust and other corrosion products, and loose coating. Any residual material shall be tigh

39、tly adhered to the metal substrate and may consist of randomly dispersed stains of rust and other corrosion products or previously applied coating, tightly adherent thin coatings, and other tightly adherent foreign matter. 2.1.1 Coatings, mill scale, and foreign matter are considered tightly adheren

40、t if they cannot be removed by lifting with a dull putty knife. (Paragraphs A4 and A5 of Appendix A provide additional information.) 2.1.2 The gray to brown-black discoloration remaining on corroded and pitted carbon steel that cannot be removed by further waterjet cleaning is allowed. 2.1.3 NACE VI

41、S 7/SSPC-VIS 45or other visual guide or comparator may be specified to supplement the written definition. In any dispute, the written standard shall take precedence over the visual guide or comparator. (Paragraph A6 of Appendix A provides additional information.) (1)International Organization for St

NACE WJ-4/SSPC-SP WJ 4 2 NACE International _ Section 3: Additional Technical Considerations 3.1 Flash Rust Flash rust is an additional consideration when a carbon steel substrate is subjected to waterjet

43、cleaning. Gray or brown-black discoloration remaining in the pits of waterjet cleaned carbon steel is not the same as flash rust. Metals other than carbon steel can manifest discoloration as well. Degrees of flash rust may be qualitatively described as follows: 3.1.1 No flash rust: A carbon steel su

44、rface that, when viewed without magnification, exhibits no visible flash rust. 3.1.2 Light (L) flash rusted surface: A carbon steel surface that, when viewed without magnification, exhibits small quantities of a rust layer through which the carbon steel substrate may be observed. The rust or discolo

45、ration may be evenly distributed or present in patches, but it is tightly adherent and not easily removed by lightly wiping with a cloth. 3.1.3 Moderate (M) flash rusted surface: A carbon steel surface that, when viewed without magnification, exhibits a layer of rust that obscures the original carbo

46、n steel surface. The rust layer may be evenly distributed or present in patches, but it is reasonably well adherent and leaves light marks on a cloth that is lightly wiped over the surface. 3.1.4 Heavy (H) flash rusted surface: A carbon steel surface that, when viewed without magnification, exhibits

47、 a layer of heavy rust that hides the original carbon steel surface completely. The rust may be evenly distributed or present in patches, but it is loosely adherent, easily comes off, and leaves significant marks on a cloth that is lightly wiped over the surface. (Paragraphs A6, A9, and A10 of Appen

48、dix A provide additional information. Appendix B provides additional information on methods of assessing the degree of flash rust.) 3.2 Appearance Variations 3.2.1 Acceptable variations in appearance that do not affect the degree of surface cleanliness defined in Paragraph 2.1 include variations caused by composition of the metallic substrate, original surface condition, thicknes
