Bresle path method:
This method determines the concentration of soluble salts on metal surfaces before applying paint or other coating. Our best-selling salt contamination kits perform this task with ease and remarkable precision. We offer a few different conductivity measuring kits, including our latest digital Elcometer 130 Salt Contamination Meter, that works using the Bresle path method. Salt constitutes such as sulfates, nitrates and chlorides add to the conductivity of the solution.
Elcometer amine blush check
If you pick up the Elcometer 139 Amine Blush Chip Screen Test Kit and Elcometer 139 Amine Blush Swab Test Kit for your field tests, it is a truly reliable way to detect surface contamination.
It will rapidly perform quick colorimetric tests designed to analyse amine blush (carbamates) on a given coated surface. These were the first Amine Bush kits on the market that eliminate false-positive results caused by PH levels.
To analyse dust particles on surfaces prior to painting (their quantity and size), use Elcometer 142 Dust Tape Test kit. The accompanying Elcometer 145 Dust Tape Roller presses the Dust Tape to the surface using measured constant force according to BS EN ISO 8502-3 (BS 7079-B3:199).
