Abrasives used for blast cleaning surfaces can be contaminated with soluble salts due to the source or the re-use of the blasting media. Ideal for test in the field or in the laboratory.
The sand-blast cleaned surface can be easily contaminated resulting in accelerated corrosion conditions and causing premature coating failure. That’s why this contamination needs to be removed prior to applying the coating. With Elcometer 138 you can quickly test abrasives on-site for soluble salt contamination according to the ASTM D4940 method.
A measured volume of the abrasive is mixed 1:1 with water and agitated to allow any soluble salts to dissolve in the water. The slurry settles and the filtered water can be tested using a conductivity meter.
The Elcometer 138 Kit contains:
- Elcometer 138E Conductivity Meter
- Standard 1413 μS/cm (1.413 mS/cm) Calibration Solution, 1 x 20ml (0.74 fl oz) Single Use Pouch
- Bottle of Pure Distilled Water; 1000ml (33.8 fl oz)
- Glass Beaker; 100ml (3.4 fl oz)
- Glass Beaker; 600ml (20.3 fl oz)
- Plastic Measuring Beaker; 500ml (16.9 lf oz)
- Funnel
- Stirring Rod
- Filter Papers; Box of 100
- LR44 Alkaline Batteries, Transit Case & User Guide
