Abstract:  
Confusion over separation of the concepts "Intensity" and "Coverage" (or "Cycle Time") is often encountered as a problem in the shot peening industry. Consequently SAE Committee (Fatigue Design and Evaluation) decided to remove references to coverage from SAE J443 Procedures for Using Standard Shot Peening Test Strip and created a new document SAE J2277, "Shot Peening Coverage" issued in January of 2003.
