The Fitz’s Atlas 2 of coating defects is a reference manual with over 300 color images, providing a clear and concise description of all problems that could occur, as well as their possible causes. The book is divided into the following sections:
Welding faults
PreSurface conditions
Coating defects
Microscopy
Marine fouling.
In 2007 updated version of the standard measure for the visual evaluation of rust and purity levels of non-coated steel. Also known as the “Swedish steel blasting grades” SS 05 59 00 (Sa). Contains high-quality colour photographs for estimating the rust levels and purity levels after cleaning manually or by machine (also with blasting).
Target audience: Blasting and painting companies and their clients, paint technicians, advice bureaux and industrial coating businesses.
Purity levels of painted steel surfaces from which the paint layer has been weathered in places. Indispensable when repairing damage to corrosion-resistant paint systems and in the conservation or, for example, welding joints after construction.
Guide and Reference Photographs for Steel Surfaces Prepared by Dry Abrasive Blast Cleaning.
SSPC’s most widely used visual reference features over 50 full-color photos of previously coated and uncoated, rusted steel surfaces before and after dry abrasive blast cleaning. Similar to the Swedish and British standards, but the pictures of the required final appearances match the written descriptions in the USA standards. Cleanliness requirements for conditions depicted are defined by the SSPC surface preparation specifications for white metal (SP 5), near-white (SP 10), commercial (SP 6), industrial (SP 14), and brush-off (SP 7) blast finishes. Appendix photographs show variations in white metal surfaces caused by different metallic and non-metallic abrasives, profile depth, angle of view, and lighting. Now with guides in both English and Spanish!
Standard Method of Evaluating Degree of Rusting on Painted Steel Surfaces.
SSPC’s popular rust standard features a series of 27 full color images and 27 black and white diagrams representing various degrees of spot, general, and pinpoint rusting on painted steel surfaces. Text and tables provide a guide to the use of the reference photographs; a scale and description of standard rust grades; a comparison of SSPC, ASTM, ISO, and other rust grade scales; and other useful information.
Guide and Reference Photographs for Steel Surfaces Prepared by Hand and Power Tool Cleaning
Contains a series of 43 full-color reference photographs to be used as a supplement to the SSPC standards for hand and power tool cleaned steel. Shows a total of seven different steel surfaces (four uncoated and three previously coated) before and after hand tool cleaning (SP 2), power tool cleaning with power wire brushes and sanding discs (SP 3), power tool cleaning to bare metal (SP 11), and commercial grade power tool cleaning (SP 15). Also contains photos of SP 11 surfaces with a restored profile, a revised guide to the use of reference photographs, a new table of standards and conditions depicted, and additional explanatory notes.
Guide and Reference Photographs for Steel Surfaces Prepared by Waterjetting
Shows a total of six different steel surfaces (two uncoated and four previously coated) before and after waterjetting. Photographs illustrate four separate degrees of cleaning (WJ 1, WJ 2, WJ 3, and WJ 4) for each initial condition, with additional photos that depict the appearance light, moderate, and heavy flash rust after cleaning. Also contains a written guide to the use of reference photographs and additional explanatory notes. Cleanliness requirements for conditions depicted are defined by the joint SSPC/NACE surface preparation specification for high- and ultrahigh-pressure water jetting (SP 12/NACE 5).
Guide and Reference Photographs for Steel Surfaces Prepared by Wet Abrasive Blast Cleaning
Pictorial Standard shows two uncoated, rusted steel surfaces (Conditions C and D) before and after wet abrasive blast cleaning. Photographs illustrate two degrees of cleaning (WAB 6 and WAB 10) for each initial condition, with additional photos that depict the appearance of light, moderate, and heavy flash rust after cleaning. Also contains a written guide to the use of reference photographs and additional explanatory notes. Cleanliness requirements for conditions depicted are defined by the joint SSPC/NACE surface preparation specifications for commercial (SP 6/NACE 3) and near-white blast cleaning (SP 10/NACE 2). Photos of commercial and near-white surfaces achieved by dry abrasive blast cleaning can be found in SSPC-VIS 1.
A guide to assist ship’s staff in the assessment of tank, hold and space coatings of existing ships for the purpose of determining compliance with the Rules and Regulations for the Classification of Ships. The guide handles the definition of the tank coating condition in Good / Fair / Poor classification. It also contains the IACS methodology to divide tanks into a number of smaller “areas under consideration” which can easily be identified. Further are included schematics to help defining area determination, percentage of coatings breakdown for specific ship structures and a comparison of common rust scales. A series of full color pictures of tank coatings in various conditions and a section that describes and shows the hotspots for corrosion and other common defects is also part of the guide.
The last section contains sketched indicating common nomenclature and terminology applied to typical structure of major ship types.

The Paint Inspector’s Field Guide
Industrial Physics offers instruments for testing and analyzing paint, coatings and general surface treatments used across industries ranging from transportation infrastructure to marine, beverage and canning and automotive.
The Paint Inspector’s Field Guide from Industrial Physics is a must have tool for any professional concerned with protective coatings that prevent corrosion.
The inspection of protective coating systems for corrosion control involves a wide range of test methods and techniques. The Paint Inspector’s Field Guide explores the various inspection methods available and describes the basic fundamentals of protective coating inspection to support those working in the field.
Authored by Lee Wilson, a highly qualified and well respected inspector with many years of field experience, the Guide provides an overview of the procedures and tools used by inspectors to perform specification review, surface preparation, application and final reporting.
In addition, the Paint Inspector’s Field Guide comprises a wide range of inspection and application notes, making it easy to solve problems which are commonly encountered in the field. The following guide provides support in the form of detailed textual analysis and visual references of inspection techniques and standards, as well as commonly encountered defects.
The ACT Orange Peel Standards consist of ten 4×6 inch panels with graduated degrees of orange peel (flow) from rough to smooth. Each panel within the set is painted black and labeled with a corresponding flow rating (orange peel) from 1 to 10.
The color dictionary is an indispensable work tool for advertisers, architects, interior designers, designers, professional painters and all those who are fascinated by the world of color. Axel Venn, Professor of Color Design and Trend scouting at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hildesheim, undertook a scientific study where he asked more than 60 participants to link various colors with various words, from comfortable to uneasy, from paradisaical to useful, from noble to worthless and from trendy to archaic.
The RAL CLASSIC Colour Collection
The 4-digit RAL colors have been the standard for choosing colors for more than 70 years now. At the beginning the color collection included 40 different colors. Its number has risen to 213 today. The basic collection for matt color shades is called RAL 840-HR, the one for glossy color shades RAL 841-GL. Both basic collections contain color samples that are being used by important institutions to cover a wide range of applications and are constantly adapted to the requirements of the industry. The registers are being used as color samples for designs. They also contain safety- and signaling colors and fulfil the color requirements of DIN regulations.
