Mega Rust 2009

Posted on 09. Mar, 2009 by in Flash Rust

Subject: 2 Workshops in 2009 at MegaRust and WJTA on “How to Inspect Flash Rust”
Why is this positive action needed when the HydroBlast or WaterJet standards have been issued since 1994?
The NSRP SP-3 Project “Surface Preparation QA/QC process Improvement” released in December 2007 identified “flash rusting is perceived to have relatively low impact of service life.”  “Determining the degree of flash rusting had the highest probability of dispute.”  The NSRP funded this inspection module to remove the cost of disputes.
=====

There are two opportunities in 2009 to attend a workshop on
How to Inspect Flash Rust
“Practical Solutions for Practical Problems”
