Compact corrosion protection kits combine all key test instruments for steel and concrete protection in a robust, portable case. They contain instruments for dry film thickness measurement (DFT), monitoring of climate and dew point values (ΔT), determination of the roughness profile as well as instruments for salt and dust contamination (Bresle test). The kits are complemented by instruments for holiday detection and adhesion testing. All components are aligned with the relevant standards such as ISO 12944, ISO 8501/8502/8503 and ISO 19840 and ensure standards-compliant quality documentation.
The kits are designed for use in steel construction, on bridges, tanks, in offshore and shipbuilding as well as in concrete repair. By combining all essential test instruments in one system, surface preparation, coating monitoring and final inspection can be carried out efficiently and in accordance with standards. Users benefit from a higher first-pass yield, reduced rework and seamless, audit-proof traceability – from the ΔT check through DFT testing to release based on salt and dust testing.
Dry film thickness (DFT): Selection of the appropriate gauge and probe depending on the substrate, e.g. steel, galvanized steel or reinforcing steel. Use of calibration foils and zero plates for standards-compliant calibration and testing according to ISO 19840.
Climate & dew point: Recording of air temperature, surface temperature, relative humidity and calculation of ΔT according to ISO 8502-4. The results are used to assess coating conditions and to approve the application environment.
Roughness testing: Performed using comparison standards (e.g. Rubert plates) or the replica method in accordance with ISO 8503. This precisely determines the surface profile height before coating.
Salt & dust contamination: Determination of soluble salts using the Bresle test according to ISO 8502-6/-9 and evaluation of the dust grade in accordance with ISO 8502-3. These tests ensure adhesive, clean surfaces and are part of every quality-assured preparation check.
Holiday detection: Execution of the holiday test corresponding to the coating system and test voltage. In addition, adhesion tests (e.g. cross-cut or pull-off test) are used to verify coating quality.
Documentation: All measurement values are recorded digitally, documented in accordance with standards and can be exported as PDF/CSV reports. Structured data acquisition ensures auditability and full traceability.
The product range includes standard kits for routine testing as well as project-specific configured sets with quality assurance software, data loggers and interfaces for digital reporting. Together with the user, we define the required scope of testing, the relevant standards and the measurement point plan. The test instruments are then fully integrated into existing quality assurance workflows and documentation systems – fully audit-ready and traceable.

Learn moreTypically included are a DFT dry film thickness gauge, climate and dew point measurement (ΔT), roughness profile (e.g. Rubert/replica), salt and dust contamination (Bresle/ISO 8502), holiday detector, adhesion (cross-cut/pull-off) as well as lights/magnifiers for visual inspection. Calibration foils, zero plates and report templates complement the kit.
Selection is based on the substrate (steel/galvanizing/concrete), protection system (e.g. ISO 12944 C3–CX), standards referenced (ISO 8501/8502/8503/19840, ISO 2409), application environment (shipyard, bridge, tank), documentation requirements (data loggers/interfaces) and required accuracy. Traceable calibration certificates and a robust case setup are important.
A defined measurement point plan, calibrated test instruments with certificates, ΔT release before coating, DFT evaluation according to ISO 19840, salt/dust limit values according to specification, documented roughness profiles as well as digital reports and photos. Regular test equipment monitoring and user training ensure consistent results.
We configure standard and custom kits including calibration, measurement point plan and documentation – for DFT, ΔT, roughness, salt/dust, holiday detection and adhesion. The result: audit-proof evidence, consistent quality and minimal rework.
