Surface Cleanliness / Salt Detection

The Elcometer 142 Dust Tape Test kit allows assessment of the quantity and size of dust particles on surfaces prepared for painting. Dust on blast cleaned surfaces can reduce coating adhesion, leading to premature coating failure and sub-standard coating finish.

Abrasives used for blast cleaning surfaces can be contaminated with soluble salts due to the source or the re-use of the blasting media. This contamination can be transferred to the blast cleaned surface and result in accelerated corrosion conditions and also cause premature…

It is essential that the level of contaminants on a surface is measured prior to application of the coating to ensure the quality of the coating and that its optimum lifetime is achieved. The Elcometer 138 Bresle Kit includes the Elcometer 138 Conductivity Meter, a lightweight,…

Incorporating a flat sensor, the Elcometer 138 Conductivity Meter can measure the conductivity of a solution from a single drop of a sample.

The Elcometer 130 Soluble Salt Profiler provides fast and accurate measurement of the level and density of soluble salts - over 4 times faster than other Bresle equivalent methods.

Designed to accurately measure surface chloride, sulphate and nitrate ions in minutes. The Elcometer 134 CSN - Chlorides, Sulphates & Nitrates 'CSN Salts' kit offers a single kit solution for testing in the field. All the components of the Elcometer CSN Test Kits are pre-measured…

The Soluble Salt Meter (SSM) Salt Contamination Meter is developed specifically to address problems with US Navy and IMO test protocols using the Bresle Patch. The SSM exactly duplicates the Bresle Patch process but with higher accuracy and reproducibility. Measurements are…

The Elcometer 130 Salt Contamination Meter quickly and accurately measures the level of soluble salts on surfaces nearly 5 times faster than Bresle equivalent test methods.

The Elcometer 138/2 Surface Contamination Kit provides a quick and easy method of measuring surface contaminants. It comes supplied with test strips to measure pH, Iron (ferrous ion), Chloride, and Salt.

The Elcometer 145 Dust Tape Roller is used in conjunction with the Elcometer 142 Dust Tape Test kit to assess the quantity and size of dust particles on surfaces prepared for painting.

The Elcometer 134S Chlor*Test for Blast Cleaned Surfaces allows the surface to be tested for chloride salts prior to application of a coating. Chloride salts left on the surface before the first coat is applied can result in the coating system being forced off the surface by…

Incorporating a flat sensor, the Elcometer 138 Bresle Salt Meter measures the conductivity of a sample, then automatically converts this to show the density of salts, negating the need for the user to do a manual calculation when working in accordance with ISO 8502-6 or ISO…

Using the Elcometer 134A Chloride Ion Test Kit for Abrasives in the field will accurately identify contamination and prevent costly surface-related failures. Chlorides deposited on a surface by contaminated abrasives during blasting can cause a coating to fail prematurely.

The Elcometer 139 Amine Blush Chip Screen Test Kit is a rapid colorimetric test designed solely for the use in the quick and immediate identification of amine blush (carbamates) on the surface of coatings using small chips or shavings.

A rapid colorimetric test designed for quick and immediate identification of amine blush (carbamates) on the surface of coatings using surface swabs. The presence of amine blush is indicated by a visual change of colour of the test solution when compared with a control sample.
