Elcometer 130 Salt Contamination Meter – Test Method

	Fill the syringe with 1.6ml of pure distilled water. Note: Non-pure water (up to 2µg/cm²) can be automatically offset with the gauge.
	Using tweezers, remove a filter paper from the pack and place it on the cleaned, non labelled side of the magnetic disc supplied. Disperse the water from the syringe, evenly across the whole of the filter paper and remove any bubbles from under the paper.
	Place the magnetic disc, with wetted paper face down on to the area under test, pressing firmly into any contours or irregularities and start the 2 minute timer on the gauge. Whilst waiting for the sample time to elapse, additional tests can be prepared.
	After 2 minutes, carefully remove the filter paper and magnetic disc from the test surface and place on to the measurement electrodes.
	Close the lid, ensuring that the magnetic catch is fully engaged. The reading will automatically be displayed and stored into memory together with date and time.
	Place the filter paper in a resealable bag (supplied), if required for further analysis.

Elcometer 130 Salt Contamination Meter – Video

Whether you are using an Elcometer 130 Salt Contamination Meter, or the Elcometer 130 Soluble Salt Profiler, each Elcometer 130 gauge is factory calibrated and ready to use, straight out of the box.

The Elcometer 130’s Calibration Verification Tiles allow you to quickly verify the accuracy of your Elcometer 130 anytime and anywhere.

The Elcometer Calibration Verification Tiles are used to check each gauge’s measurement electrodes by accurately simulating known salt concentrations. So, by comparing the results on the gauge with the values on the tile, you can quickly and accurately confirm that your Elcometer 130 is working within specification.

2:20 Verifying the Elcometer 130
3:15 Verifying the Elcometer 130 SSP

As the Elcometer 130 and Elcometer 130 SSP have different measurement plates, there are two different versions of the Calibration Verification Tiles.

The Elcometer 130 requires three different Calibration Verification Tiles of different values, and it is recommended that all three tile values are used to confirm the Elcometer 130’s accuracy.

However the Elcometer 130 SSP has a single tile, which allows the user to verify each gauge’s accuracy across its measurement range.

Before you begin any verification procedure, you must first remove any test paper, magnetic disks, or calibration tiles from the test plate, and then carefully clean and dry the sensors using the deionised water and the sensor wipes provided.
