But the blasting process is not the same as making a fruit salad
whose total cost is simply the collective sum of each
independent ingredient. There is a great deal of interplay
between the system components on a blasting jobsite.
 Understanding the Interplay of Components

Cheaper abrasive may not be as effective and thus you’ll need

more of it to complete the project. Using more of it may also
require additional clean-up and disposal costs. And quite
frequently the cheapest abrasive will also be the dustiest, which
can increase costs in the form of environmental =nes or
containment materials, lack of productivity due to blaster’s
compromised vision, or even worse – safety mishaps that cause
injury and further delays.

The Unites States Navy established a formula that accounts for

the interplay of the blasting components and allows you to
discover the total cost per square foot (or square metre) of the
surface area blasted.

The formula works by calculating the blasting costs below

A = Abrasive Consumption
B = Delivered cost of abrasive
C = Disposal of abrasive
D = Labor cost
E = Equipment cost
X = Blasting Speed in square foot/hour (or square meter/hour)

Understanding the many dimensions in which your abrasive

affects your total cost is critical in properly submitting a
pro=table bid. Cheaper is always cheaper.
