French term

sablé à blanc

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering peinture sur parties métalliques-protection contre la corrosion
Hi,

Les éléments de tuyauterie doivent être sablés à blanc et recevoir une couche d’apprêt anticorrosion en atelier, avant leur livraison sur le site.

I believe that "sablé" is "sanded" but à blanc?

I'd really appreciate your help :)
Thank you

sand-blasted to bare metal

Clanola is right about the bare metal bit, but of course 'sablé' = 'sand-blasted'.

sanded to bare metal

Does the pipe need to be sanded to the metal level if it has paint on it?

Although the Lokring fitting will “bite” through the paint. If the pipe is not sanded to bare metal, it can not be visually inspected prior to installation.
