Elcometer 138 Abrasive Soluble Salt Test Kit – ASTM D4940
Abrasives used for blast cleaning surfaces can be contaminated with soluble salts due to the source or the re-use of the blasting media.
This contamination can be transferred to the blast cleaned surface and result in accelerated corrosion conditions and also cause premature coating failure, if this contamination is not removed prior to applying the coating.
Testing abrasives on site for soluble salt contamination can be carried out quickly and easily using the Elcometer 138 Abrasive Soluble Salt Test Kit, according to the ASTM D4940 method.
A measured volume of the abrasive is mixed with the same volume of water and agitated to allow any soluble salts to dissolve in the water. The resulting slurry is allowed to settle and the filtered water can then be tested using a conductivity meter.
The Elcometer 138 Abrasive Soluble Salt Test Kit provides all that is needed to carry out the test in the field or in the laboratory.
The Elcometer 124 Thickness Gauge is used to measure the peak-to-valley height of a surface profile moulded in the Elcometer 122 Testex® Replica Tape.
Elcometer 266 Holiday Detector The Elcometer 266 holiday detector can be used to test porosity on coatings up to 7.5mm (300 mils) thick and is ideal for inspecting coatings on pipelines and other protective coatings. This holiday tester features a built-in voltage calculator which will determine and set the correct test voltage based upon the test standard and the thickness of the coating being tested.
Accurate Dry Film Thickness Measurements Whether you are measuring on smooth, rough, thin or curved surfaces, the Elcometer 456 Dry Film Thickness Gauge produces accurate, temperature stable measurements thanks to its ±1% thickness measurement capability and increased reading resolution.
