Development of a Quantity Determination Method of Blasting off Conditions

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has developed a performance standard for protective coatings (PSPC). Despite the fact that the regulation has been in existence for about 10 years, many shipyards continue to receive claims while inspecting the quality of each process in the coating stage. In particular, claims relating to the blasting off procedure are breaking the following coating process. In this study, we established a quantity determination method for measuring the blasting off condition of pre-coated steel plate for PSPC during the coating stage of ship production and reflect on the method for creating a prototype portable measurement instrument.
