Is blasting an outlier among these technologies? Not unless a perfectly clean and blemish-free surface is no longer a requirement for a successful coating, jacketing or galvanizing operation – and that will be all over when reality is all over. In the meantime, the specialists whose products and services are reviewed in these pages of Tube & Pipe Technology function in the real world,

It is a world of unremitting and progressive demands and ever-higher standards, in which they are very much at home.
