Soluble salts on a surface are Surface Cleanliness
During the initial surface preparation, absorbed into a special filter paper in addition to brushing or grinding, a soaked with distilled water. The coated surface can be blasted, high Elcometer SCM400 measures the pressure water-jetted or simply washed down. In many cases, the conductivity of the wet paper, abrasive media or water is recycled. In calculates the salt level and displays these instances, it is important that the it in µg/cm². level of contaminants in the recycled material is carefully monitored to avoid the re-contamination of the surface Suitable for a wide range of being cleaned. shapes, orientations, surfaces and Surface contamination from salt ions finishes such as chlorides, sulphates and Elcometer SCM400 Salt Contamination Meter Quick and simple to use nitrates has been shown to lead to delamination, blistering and premature Battery operated and portable coating failure. The measurement of Confirms adequate cleaning of the cleanliness of a surface prior to the application of a coating is, therefore, surfaces before coating, aiding the necessary to ensure the substrate, or prevention of premature coating coated surface in multi-layer systems, is clean of all contaminants prior to the failure application of the next coating.

Elcometer 134A Chloride Ion Test Kit for Abrasives
Chlorides deposited on a surface by contaminated abrasives during blasting can cause a coating to fail prematurely. Contamination can build up, particularly if the blast media is recycled several times. Using the Elcometer 134A Chloride Ion Test in the field will accurately identify contamination and prevent costly surface-related failures. Elcometer 134A
Elcometer 134W Chloride Ion Test Kit for Water
If the chloride levels in the wash water are too high, this will promote premature corrosion, shortening the life of both steel and concrete structures. Used to monitor recycled water (after it has been applied) to establish effectiveness of salt removal, this test is ideal when mixing concrete and when washing steel.
Elcometer 134W
Elcometer 134S Chloride Ion Test Kit for Surfaces
Chloride salts left on the surface before the first coat is applied can result in the coating system being forced off the surface by corrosion or blistering before the full life of the coating has been reached. To ensure that the chloride has been removed it is essential that the surface is tested before the coating is applied.

Elcometer 138/2 Surface Contamination Kit
The Elcometer 138/2 Surface Contamination Kit provides the user with a means for testing invisible surface contaminants including: pH, chloride ions, iron, salts.
Elcometer 138
Elcometer 138 Bresle Salt Kit
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. This lightweight, portable conductivity meter accurately measures Elcometer 138 the salinity of the test samples.
