RULE OF THUMB
Bigger and shorter are the key to blast hose
efficiency.
If a choice must be made between having a short
air hose or a short blast hose, choose
the short blast hose.
RIGHT…… EXTERNALLY-FITTED QUICK COUPLING
WRONG…… INTERNALLY-FITTED COUPLING
RULE OF THUMB
A loss of pressure at the nozzle of only 10 PSI
means a 15% loss in production
RULE OF THUMB
Choose the smallest grain size which can remove
the contaminant on that particular surface.
Bigger is not better here.
RULE OF THUMB
It only takes one spray painter to keep up
with four blasters
