Description

A Surface Roughness Comparator is a precision reference tool used to evaluate the surface profile (roughness height) of abrasive blast-cleaned steel surfaces.
It allows inspectors to compare the actual blast profile against standardized samples, ensuring the surface is properly prepared before coatings, linings, or protective systems are applied.

This tool is essential for meeting specifications in oil & gas, marine, construction, and industrial coating applications across Iraq.

Key Features

  • Visually and tactually compares actual steel surface profile to standard samples.

  • Evaluates roughness height for common abrasive blasting methods (grit, shot, or sand).

  • Helps inspectors confirm compliance with surface preparation standards such as ISO 8503-1.

  • Durable stainless-steel construction for long field life.

  • Lightweight, compact, and easy to use on-site.

  • Provides consistent, repeatable QC results before coating application.

Typical Applications

  • Assessing surface profile roughness after sandblasting or shot blasting.

  • Verifying steel preparation before applying epoxy, polyurethane, or protective coatings.

  • Used by QA/QC inspectors in pipelines, tanks, marine structures, refineries, and steel fabrication.

  • Surface preparation control in painting and coating contracts.
