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

Elcometer 134A Chloride Ion Test Kit for Abrasives<br />
Chlorides deposited on a surface by contaminated abrasives during blasting can<br />
cause a coating to fail prematurely. Contamination can build up, particularly if the<br />
blast media is recycled several times. Using the Elcometer 134A Chloride Ion Test in<br />
the field will accurately identify contamination and prevent costly surface-related<br />
failures.<br />
Elcometer 134W Chloride Ion Test Kit for Water<br />
If the chloride levels in the wash water are too high, this will promote premature<br />
corrosion, shortening the life of both steel and concrete structures. Used to monitor<br />
recycled water (after it has been applied) to establish effectiveness of salt removal,<br />
this test is ideal when mixing concrete and when washing steel.<br />
Elcometer 134W<br />
Elcometer 134S Chloride Ion Test Kit for Surfaces<br />
Chloride salts left on the surface before the first coat is applied can result in the<br />
coating system being forced off the surface by corrosion or blistering before the full<br />
life of the coating has been reached. To ensure that the chloride has been removed it<br />
is essential that the surface is tested before the coating is applied.<br />
