>> DAD Finishing Descriptions & Cost Information <<
-
A = Aesthetic – This finish is not sanitary and this material is a standard mill finish. It is cold rolled, annealed and descaled. Designated surface will have a consistent straight grain. Light scratches, minor grain misdirection, and discontinuity in the finish at and around welds are acceptable. Minor pits (UN-CLUSTERED) are acceptable.
-
S = Sanitary – This finish will not have any pits, scratches or imperfections. This is used frequently in pharmaceutical or food equipment industries
-
NOTE: All sanitary (S) metal finish options assume the 'Ground Weld (Sanitary)' weld finish option​
-
-
Metal Finish: The higher the RA value, the lower the cost. Below is a list in order of least expensive to most expensive
-
2D, 2B, 4B, and Bead Blast are the least expensive finishes
-
4A and 4S are the middle priced finish
-
8A, 8S are the most expensive polished finishes
-
-
Weld Finish: Non-Ground Welds are always less expensive than Ground Welds
-
Painting
-
Powder Coating is less expensive than Wet Painting
-
The painting and powder coating prices depend on the size of your part and quantity needed
-
There will be set-up charge added to each order (in addition to the piece price) for paint set-up
-
