ABRASIVE OR RELATED BLASTING WITH PARTICULATE MATERIAL

Notes

(1)

This subclass covers:

the use of a blast of any particles or pellets dispersed in air, gas, or liquid for the treatment of surfaces or cutting of materials, the particles usually being of abrasive material;

the equivalent use of a jet of particles or pellets projected or energised by means other than a stream of air.

(2)

In this subclass, the following terms are used with the meanings indicated:

"abrasive" covers any material used in the manner mentioned in Note (1) above;

"blast" covers any equivalent jet of material mentioned in Note (1) above.
