ASTM A 802 Standard Practice for Steel Castings, Iron Castings, Surface Acceptance, Visual Examination
The object of this standard is to facilitate cooperation between founder and casting purchaser in determining the surface conditions, and
quality level required.
It should assist in avoiding misunderstanding arising from imprecise descriptions at the order stage and should also help in defining a
surface that is amendable to a particular techniques of non-destructive testing. The use of the comparators is superior to methods based
on photographs which can introduce uncertainties concerning interpretation, particularly with regards o the depth of surface
irregularities.
The casting designer and purchasers can denote the level one to four on the drawings as the requirements of surface quality, then the
founder, Dandong Foundry, will check the photos, and learn about the requirements. The comparator can also be used as the standard of
quality inspection.

A. Surface Texture - the natural surface of the casting after shot blasting.
G. Metal Removal Marks (Thermal Dressing) - surface remaining after using oxy-gas or air-carbon arc processes for
metal removal.
H. Metal Removal Marks (Mechanical Dressing) - surface remaining after using a mechanical means of dressing a cast
surface or a previously thermally dressed surface.
J. Metal Removal Marks (Welds) - indications of welds fully or partially removed by thermal or mechanical dressing.
