CSP
CSP turns up in 2 fields: waterproofing, telecom & it. Here is what it means to the people in each one.
CSP in waterproofing
Concrete surface profile, a 1 to 10 scale of how rough a prepared concrete surface is.
Concrete surface profile is judged against a set of ten replica chips, from CSP 1, nearly flat like acid-etched concrete, to CSP 10, heavily scarified. Membrane and coating makers specify a range, for example CSP 3 to 5 for many fluid-applied membranes, and the method needed to reach it, such as grinding, shot blasting or scarifying.
"Membrane data sheet wants CSP 3 minimum, that grinder's only giving us a 2, bring in the shot blaster."
CSP in telecom & it
An umbrella term for companies that offer telecommunications, internet, or media transmission services.
A Communications Service Provider encompasses traditional telcos, cable operators, satellite companies, and internet service providers. The industry uses this broad term to group businesses that build and operate the infrastructure required to transport data and voice traffic. Equipment vendors and software developers tailor their carrier-grade products specifically for this market.
