Steel Shots S-280

Steel shot size S-280 refers to a specific classification of abrasive particles used in shot blasting applications. In the context of steel shots, the designation “S-280” indicates the size of the individual particles. The “S” stands for steel, and the number “280” denotes the nominal diameter of the shot in hundredths of an inch. Therefore, S-280 steel shots have a nominal diameter of approximately 0.028 inches. These shots are commonly employed in industrial processes such as shot peening and abrasive blasting, where they play a crucial role in surface preparation, cleaning, and strengthening of materials. The S-280 size is selected based on the desired impact energy and surface coverage, making it suitable for applications requiring efficient and uniform abrasion for tasks like removing rust, scale, or old coatings from various surfaces.
