Pre-Coating Surface Preparation
This online engineering PDH course describes surface preparation standards, common methods of surface preparation, and abrasive type and selection methods.
Surface preparation is the key factor in determining the success of a protective coating system. The equipment and techniques that can be used to achieve the desired surface cleanliness and roughness (profile) vary considerably. Traditional methods of surface preparation are now accompanied by new, innovative methods that have evolved mainly because of the issues surrounding the safe removal of lead-containing coatings from industrial structures. The ultimate objective of surface preparation is to create proper adhesion of a coating over an underlying substrate.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, design and construction personnel, and other technical professionals who are interested in gaining a better understanding of surface preparation prior to coating applications.
This P.Eng. continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Common methods of surface preparation
- Abrasive type and selection
- Surface preparation standards and specifications
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review Chapter 7 of the "Painting: New Construction and Maintenance" engineering manual, published by the United States Army of Corps of Engineers (USACE), Publication Number EM 1110-2-3400.
