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.
