Elcometer 138 Bresle Salt Test Kit

The Elcometer 138 Bresle Salt Test Kit is an essential tool for determining the salt content on surfaces prior to the application of a coating. Correct surface preparation is crucial to ensure the durability and quality of coatings. An inadequately prepared and contaminated surface can lead to premature coating failure and increased maintenance costs.

Product Description

The Elcometer 138 Br esle Salt Test Kit includes the Elcometer 138 Bresle Salt Meter, a lightweight and portable device that measures the conductivity of a material sample and automatically displays the salt content. This kit enables salt contamination measurements to be carried out accurately and easily in accordance with international standards such as ISO 8502-6 and ISO 8502-9.
