Introduction
International Standards IS0 8501, IS0 8502 and IS0 8503 have been
prepared to provide methods of assessing these factors, while IS0 8504
provides guidance on the preparation methods that are available for
cleaning steel substrates, indicating the capabilities of each in attaining
specified levels of cleanliness.
The four International Standards referred to above deal with the follow-
ing aspects of preparation of steel substrates:

This part of IS0 8502 describes a procedure for the assessment, using
a pressure-sensitive tape method, of the quantity and the particle size
of dust on steel surfaces prepared for painting.
There are many possible variables in the conditions at sites where tests
may be required to be carried out. Agreements made between inter-
ested parties where appropriate should include the number or frequency
of tests, the test locations, and the dates and times when the tests are
to be carried out.

NOTE - To set the applied roller pressure, hold the roller vertically by the casing and press the roller on to the pan of a
suitable weighing scale so that the roller exerts a force equal to the weight of a 4 kg or 5 kg weightpiece, as required. Adjust
the height of the rising shaft with a screwdriver so that the 4 kg or 5 kg graduation on the shaft is level with the top of the
top plug. Set the position of the rising shaft by means of the lock-nut.
