A blasting pressure is the rate of a continuous force of exertion of an abrasive mixture as it passes through the nozzle of a dry air or wet/vapor abrasive blasting system. Blasting pressure is important to note and regulate in order to enhance safety standards and prevent explosions.
The blasting pressure is a key parameter used in relation to abrasive blasting systems. It is measured in pounds per square inch (psi), pascals (Pa), kilopascals (kPa) or bars (1 bar equals 100,000 Pa).
