Adequate cleanliness of the steam piping was achieved by complying with the conditions below:

a) Two successive blasts must result in mirror surfaces that have no strikes that are outside the
assessment limits stated below.

b) After a cooling-down period of at least 12 hours, two more successive blasts must result in mirror
surfaces that have strikes that comply with the stated assessment limits.

The entire surface is considered for assessing a blowing mirror.

The assessment limits for an acceptable mirror are as follows:

No strikes with diameters greater than 0.8 mm

Not more than 2 strikes with diameters greater than 0.4 mm per 2500 mm²

Not more than 10 strikes with diameters greater than 0.2 mm per 2500 mm²

Strikes with diameters of less than 0.2 mm must be uniformly distributed.
