Steel Shots S-780

Steel shot size S-780 refers to a specific classification within the range of steel shots used in various industrial applications, particularly in abrasive blasting processes. The “S” in S-780 denotes that it conforms to the SAE J827 specification, indicating a spherical shape. The number “780” corresponds to the average diameter of the steel shots in hundredths of an inch, specifically 0.078 inches or 2.0 millimeters. S-780 steel shots are characterized by their robustness and durability, making them suitable for demanding tasks such as surface preparation, cleaning, and shot peening in industries like shipbuilding, automotive, and metal fabrication. The size S-780 is often chosen for its ability to deliver effective and consistent results in removing rust, scale, and contaminants from various surfaces while contributing to achieving the desired surface finish.
