Blasting consumption calculator
Enter the surface area, nozzle and pressure. We will estimate how many kg of abrasive you need, the air your compressor must deliver and the approximate job time.
How is this calculated?
Air and abrasive consumption come from the nozzle chart widely used in the industry for a new nozzle on a pressure blast pot. The chart is based on quartz sand; other abrasives are scaled by bulk density. Hourly output is a field-experience estimate scaled by nozzle, cleanliness grade and surface condition.
Results are for guidance only. Actual consumption depends on operator experience, nozzle wear, hose length, air humidity and the shape of the surface. Contact us for an exact quantity.
Which abrasive should I use?
Choose the material, the job you want to do and your machine; we will list suitable abrasives and recommended grain sizes.
