Product Description
The Elcometer 130 SSP 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.
The new Elcometer 130 SSP allows you to complete a Bresle equivalent test in just over two minutes. The multi-point conductivity sensors enable the Elcometer 130 SSP to accurately display salt concentration, showing exactly where the contamination lies and generating full colour salt density maps in 2D or 3D.
“Four Bresle equivalent readings in 2½ minutes”
Each filter paper is the size of four Bresle patches – the Elcometer 130 Soluble Salt Profiler not only displays the individual reading, but also provides four Bresle equivalent readings in just over two minutes.

“The new Elcometer 130 SSP doesn’t just measure the level of soluble salts”
In addition to soluble salt levels (cleanliness) or conductivity, the Elcometer 130 SSP carries out a detailed analysis of the test area – providing an accurate salt density profile map, pinpointing areas of high contamination outside user defined limits.
“Accurate in all environments”
This new, easy to use, Elcometer 130 SSP has automatic temperature compensation ensuring accuracy in all climatic conditions. Impure water can be offset for accurate and repeatable readings.
“Each gauge is designed to last”
Robust, durable & water resistant, the new Elcometer 130 SSP is available with a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty; giving you peace of mind.
“Generate instant reports on your PC, Android™ or iOS mobile devices”
The Elcometer 130 SSP wirelessly transmits readings, statistics and batches via Bluetooth® or via USB straight into an inspection application or into ElcoMaster®, Elcometer’s Mobile App, for instant report generation at your desk or, using your mobile, in the field.
What you do with the collected data is just as important as taking the readings themselves.
Key features of the Elcometer 130 Soluble Salt Profiler include:
- Range of measurement modes:
- Cleanliness: two measurement options are available when measuring soluble salts – Bresle Method Equivalency or Elcometer 130 Equivalency mode
- Conductivity: ideal for measuring ionic contaminants, sometimes referred to as total dissolved solids –TDS, within a solution
- Multi-point conductivity sensor allows the trend in conductivity to be displayed as a density map
- Automatic temperature compensation ensures accurate results
- Large colour LCD screen displays readings in µg/cm², ppm, µS/cm, mS/cm, % salinity or mg/m²
- Stores up to 3,500 sets of readings in 1,000 alpha numeric batches
- Non-oxidising gold plated contacts ensure lifetime performance
- Transfer data via USB or Bluetooth® to ElcoMaster® for instant report generation
Elcometer 130 SSP Soluble Salt Profiler can be used in accordance with:
- NSI 009-32
- SSPC Guide 15
- Bresle Equivalent ISO 8502-9 Test Method

Pass/Fail to User Defined Limits
Provides a visual indication of salt contamination. Areas where soluble salts levels are above the limit set are shaded red, areas below the limit are white. The measurement bar to the left of the pass/fail map displays the limit (above the bar) and the percentage test area above the defined limit (below the bar). The bar is also a visual indication of the pass/fail percentage. The highest (Hi), lowest (Lo) and average (X) reading for the current measurement are displayed to the right. |

2D Salt Density Map with High/Low Readings
Levels of soluble salts are illustrated using a green and red contour system; green for very low salt concentration or uncontaminated areas; yellow for areas with mid salt concentration; and red for areas with levels of salt contamination exceeding the defined map scale range. |

3D Salt Density Profile & Peak Salt Concentration (Hi)
Provides a visual indication of the density of salt contamination over the test area. |
How to use the Elcometer 130 Soluble Salt Profiler

![]() |
1. Wearing clean disposable gloves (supplied), fill a syringe with precisely 1.6ml of deionised water. | 2. Using tweezers, remove a filter paper from the pack and place it on the cleaned, non-labelled side of the magnetic disc supplied. | 3. Disperse the water from the syringe, evenly across the whole of the filter paper and remove any bubbles from under the paper. |

4. 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. | 5. After two minutes, carefully remove the filter paper and magnetic disc from the test surface and place on to the measurement electrodes. | 6. As each filter paper remains on the surface for two minutes, multiple tests can be undertaken at the same time, reducing inspection times further. |
