About Elcometer Salt Contamination Kit

As a Authorized dealer we are engaged in providing the broad assortment of Elcometer Coating Inspection Equipments. Elcometer offering a range of Salt Contamination Kits / Bresle Salt Kits suitable for measurement of pre-coating surface contamination.

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. If the coating is applied to a contaminated surface, which is not properly prepared, it could fail prematurely resulting in costly re-coating and high maintenance costs.

Ideal for Surface Cleanliness Verification

The Elcometer Salt Contamination Kit enables precise checking of steel and metallic substrates before coating or painting. By detecting soluble salts, you can ensure optimal adhesion and prevent corrosion, maintaining surface integrity throughout industrial processes. Its non-destructive and simple operation is designed for timely inspections on-site or in the laboratory.

Reliable Bresle Method Analysis

Using the Bresle method, the kit extracts and analyzes samples with deionized water and filter paper. The process reliably evaluates contamination, producing highly accurate salt concentration results with a resolution of 1 g/cm. Chemical indicator strips ensure definitive visual validation within approximately one minute.

Designed for Portability and Repeat Use

With select reusable components and consumable indicator strips, this kit offers cost-effective repeat testing. The robust carrying case makes the Elcometer kit highly portable for field professionals, distributors, and laboratory personnel. Manual operation requires no external power, making it an ideal choice for varied environments.

FAQs of Elcometer Salt Contamination Kit:

Q: How does the Elcometer Salt Contamination Kit work?

A: The kit operates on the Bresle method, where soluble salts are extracted from the test surface using deionized water with filter paper. The solution is then analyzed via chemical indicator strips, providing a visible color change for easy salt concentration measurement.

Q: What surfaces and environments is the Elcometer kit suitable for testing?

A: This kit is designed for steel and most metallic substrates, making it ideal for use in field, laboratory, and industrial environments where surface cleanliness verification is essential prior to coating or painting.

Q: What components of the kit are reusable, and which are consumable?

A: Syringes, extraction tubes, and test tubes can be reused for multiple tests, while chemical indicator strips and filter papers are consumable and intended for single use.

Q: When is it recommended to use the salt contamination kit?

A: It should be used prior to coating, painting, or other surface treatments to verify that the substrate is free from soluble salt contaminants, reducing potential adhesion and corrosion issues.

Q: How accurate is the Elcometer Salt Contamination Kit, and what is the test range?

A: The kit offers an accuracy of 1 g/cm, with a measuring range of 050 g/cm. Its resolution allows detection of small concentrations with reliable results.

Q: What are the benefits of using a portable kit like this for contamination testing?

A: Its lightweight design and manual operation allow users to perform quick, non-destructive tests on-site without external power. The kits portability ensures surface cleanliness can be verified anywhere, supporting consistent quality control.

Q: What is the sample extraction process with this kit?

A: Typically, about 3 ml of deionized water is used with filter paper on the substrate for extraction. The resulting solution is tested with a chemical strip, providing results within one minute.
