Since last NSRP meeting in Virginia Put together modules Presentation to 12 people at Megarust 4 hours Rewrite Presentation to NSRP in Johnstown ReRe -writewrite- reduce, get to cd deliverable by December.
Project Goals
It takes about 3 hours to get through all of the material. In its present form form, it is more than originally promised.
Reduce the number of examples examples. Include the optional chapters?

Flash Rust
Flash Rust is the rust that occurs from the time the waterjetting (WJ) process starts to the time the water used for the waterjetting process dries. Typically, NO rustrust-back is allowed in dry blast cleaning, but it is accepted to paint over Flash Rust in waterjetting. How much Flash Rust is formed is directly related to time of wetness.

Common Terms
water jetting jetting, or waterjetting water blast cleaning, or water blasting hydrojetting, or hydroblasting aquajetting, q j g, or aquablasting, q g, and cleaning by directing a jet of pressurized water onto the surface to be cleaned.
Background of Reader
Inspectors Have attended NACE or SSPC Certified Inspector Courses Familiar with Standard photos and language Might not be as familiar with Water Jetting (WJ), (WJ)
Wet Abrasive Blasting (WAB) as compared to Dry Abrasive Blasting (AB). (AB)
Surface Preparation
Even though though, Abrasive cleaning and Pressurized Water Cleaning are different, the Objective is the SAMESAME-
Approach
The Biggest Key is to understand: Waterjet is done in repair or maintenance. What you do to the Surface Initially will influence the performance through the rest of the structures life life.

Flash Rust Rust Back Rust Bloom
Waterjetting or Hydroblasting
Shipyards and contractors utilize pressure washers for cleaning. Shipyards and contractors use both high pressure and ultra high pressure waterjetting for surface preparation p p and stripping pp g coatings g or liners. Waterjetting does not produce a profile; it exposes an existing profile. Waterjet blasted surfaces look very different from abrasive blasted surfaces.
Waterjet Blast Doesnt Look Like Dry Blast. 3 examples of Commercial or Thorough Cleaning Standard Photos. SSPC NACE D SPSP-6 Dry

Dry Blast Blast- If rust is visible before painting (i.e., rust back), the surface must be rerecleaned to meet contract cleaning requirements
