Bresle Salt Contamination Kit
It is essential that the level of contaminants on a surface is measured prior to the application of the coating to ensure the quality of the coating and that its optimum lifetime is achieved.
Elcometer 138 Bresle Salt Kit 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. The Elcometer 138 Bresle Kits include the Elcometer 138 Bresle Salt Meter. This lightweight portable meter measures the conductivity of the test sample using a single drop, 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 8502-9. Elcometer 122 Testex® Tape consists of foam with a non-compressible backing. The foam side is rubbed into the surface providing a permanent mould of the peak-to-valley profile. The profile of the surface can then be measured using the Elcometer 124 Thickness Gauge. Elcometer 122 Testex® Replica Tape is available in four profile ranges. It is important that the tape grade chosen is reflective of the profile being measured. For profiles between 12 & 25µm (0.5 & 1.0mils): Coarse Minus Tape For profiles between 20 & 64µm (0.8 & 2.5mils): Coarse Tape For profiles between 38 & 115µm (1.5 & 4.5mils): X-Coarse Tape For profiles between 116 & 127µm (4.6 & 5.0mils): X-Coarse Plus Tape There are 50 tests in each Replica Tape roll.
