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 recoating
and high maintenance costs.
The Elcometer 138 Bresle Kit includes
the Elcometer 138 Conductivity Meter.
This lightweight, portable conductivity
meter accurately measures the salinity
of the test samples.
The cartridge type sensor can be easily
replaced when necessary and displays
conductivity (μS/cm and mS/cm) and
salinity (%) on the digital display.
Features of the meter include indication
of stability of reading indication.
Surface Cleanliness
Surface contamination from salts such
as chlorides, sulphates and nitrates
have been shown to lead to blistering
of organic coatings, particularly in
immersion conditions.
Measuring the surface cleanliness of
the substrate alone prior to a coating
being applied may not be sufficient. If
more than one layer of coating is being
used, it is necessary to monitor and
record the cleanliness of each layer
prior to applying the next coating.
When using amine cured epoxy
coatings, for example, in low ambient
temperatures or in high humidity, a
surface oiliness or exudate may cause
inter-coating adhesion failure.

Elcometer 134A
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 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.
