OSHA Advantage (Longer Blast Times)

OSHA Advantage (Longer Blast Times)

N/A OSHA has implemented noise exposure limits for the worker's health and safety. Exposure to high levels of noise can lead to: hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ear), stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, gastrointestinal problems, and chronic fatigue. As a rule of thumb, every 3 dB change represents a halving of sound energy. The table below provides guidance on how long someone can be safely exposed to different noise levels without wearing hearing protection.

The Blast Ninja™ Family of Nozzles

The Blast Ninja™ Family of Nozzles

N/A Choosing the right blast nozzle for each application is a matter of understanding the variables that affect cleaning performance, time, and costs. For maximum productivity, operators should select the nozzle bore size based on the desired blast pressure and the available air pressure and flow.

Blast Ninja™ is available in a range of nozzle orifice sizes to suit any kind of job. Optimal performance for is attained when the blast nozzle size is properly matched to the blast machine piping, blast hose, and air hose. The hose Inner-Diameter should be three to four times the size of the nozzle orifice.

Performance and figures may vary depending on working conditions and environmental factors. To maintain desired air pressure as nozzle orifice wears, air consumption increases. The effects of nozzle wear on air consumption must be considered when selecting nozzles and the compressors that support them.

Avoid dropping the nozzle or banging it against objects as nozzle materials can break.
