Elcometer 130 SCM400 Salt Contamination Meter

The Elcometer 130 has been designed to be very repeatable and accurate.

In order to achieve this accurate result, as with all salt test equipment, care should be taken to avoid contamination by touch.

1. Using the gloves and plastic tweezers, remove one of the sample paper discs

2. Fill one of the syringes with distilled water and carefully allow the sample paper to absorb the correct amount of water (as described in the operating instructions)

3. Place the water filled sample paper onto the substrate under test, using the tweezers to gently push the paper into the metal profile.

4. Press the green button on the Elcometer 130 and wait for the alarm to indicate that the testing time is complete

5. Using the tweezers, place the sample paper onto the central section of the Elcometer 130 (See Below), close the lid and press the green button again

6. Read the salt value on the display.

Place the sample paper onto the test area - depicted by the red circle in the picture.
