I'm also looking for articles or technical material containing a performance comparation among different abrasives applied in air blasting. Could anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance.

Check the inlet diameter of the nozzle being used...a worn nozzle will increase air volume demand, thus lowering available pressure and slowing the energy used to propel the abrasive.

2. Make certain that the inlet piping size is sufficient for the nozzle size being used.  If a 1-1/2" pipe or hose is supplying the air to your pot, then a No. 6 nozzle can be sufficiently supplied when used with an  1-1/4" blast hose.  Blast hose ID needs to be 3 X the nozzle inlet size.
