Glass Bead Conversion Chart | Media Blast & Abrasive, Inc.

Glass beads used in abrasive blasting cabinets come in different sizes just like sandpaper comes in different sizes and grades. 60-100 mesh is the fastest cleaning size, and cleaning time increases as bead size increases or decreases.

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from Tenroads.

The larger the bead size the lower the maximum impact velocity. A good rule of thumb is 80 psi maximum blasting pressure for siphon and 40 psi for direct pressure using a pressure pot assembly.
