Salt contamination meter ELCOMETER’S new 130 Salt

With a heavy duty, impact resistant, dust and waterproof design equivalent to IP64, the Elcometer 130 is designed for use in the harshest environments. Performing the Bresle Method as per ISO 8502-6, each test can take up to 12 minutes to perform (10 minutes sampling, and 2 minutes to prepare the patch, test the conductivity and remove the patch and residue). The Elcometer 130 is faster: 2 minutes sampling and 2 minutes to prepare test and make good. In addition, as the test samples can be set up concurrently, two tests can be undertaken within 5 minutes. So while the Bresle Method restricts users to five tests per hour, the Elcometer 130 can accurately and reliably achieve 24 tests per hour – nearly five times faster than other Bresle equivalent test methods.

accurately and reliably carry out 24 tests per hour. Automatic temperature compensation ensures repeatable and accurate results. A calibration offset function allows less than pure water to be used for testing, automatically

Contamination Meter is designed to make the measuring of soluble salts faster, easier and more accurate. For use on-site or in the laboratory, the portable, hand-held gauge can

adjusting the reading to take into consideration the conductivity of the water used. Individual readings are stored with date and time stamp, temperature and size of test paper, and the memory capacity is up to 150,000 readings in 2,500 alphanumeric batches. The meter can measure salt contamination of up to 50μg/cm (3,000ppm) on flat or curved surfaces. The data can be transferred using Bluetooth to ElcoMaster™ 2.0 data management software, to enable professional inspection reports to be sent anywhere in the world instantly.
