ISO 11124 discusses types of metallic blast-cleaning abrasives. ISO 11124-3 is the third part of ISO 11124 multi-series and discusses high-carbon cast-steel shot and grit.
ISO 11124-3 specifies requirements for high-carbon cast-steel shot and grit as supplied for blast-cleaning processes. Test methods for metallic blast-cleaning abrasives are given in the various parts of ISO 11125.
Note 1: Information on commonly referenced national standards for metallic abrasives and their approximate relationship with ISO 11124 is given in Annex A.
Note 2: Although ISO 11124-3 has been developed specifically to meet requirements for the preparation of steelwork, the properties specified will generally be appropriate for use when preparing other material surfaces, or components, using blast-cleaning techniques. These techniques are described in ISO 8504-2.
ISO 11124-3 on specifications for metallic blast-cleaning abrasives (High-carbon cast-steel shot and grit) is useful for:
High-carbon cast-steel shot and grit are used in both static and site blasting equipment. They are most often selected where a facility exists for the recovery and re-use of the abrasive. ISO 11124-3 specifies requirements for 14 grades of high-carbon cast-steel shot and 11 grades of high-carbon cast-steel grit, as supplied for blast-cleaning processes.
Values are specified for hardness, density, defect/structural requirements, and chemical composition. The requirements specified in ISO 11124-3 to abrasives supplied in the "new" condition only. They do not apply to abrasives either during or after use.
