Elcometer 146 SaltSmart™ Contamination Meter - Discontinued
Replaced by the Elcometer 130 SSP Soluble Salt Profiler
The Elcometer 146 SaltSmart™ Salt Contamination System determines the amount of soluble salts present in a test sample. Using both the Elcometer SaltSmart™ Test Strips and the Elcometer 146 SaltSmart™ Contamination Meter, this system offers a fast, easy-to-use alternative to the Bresle Test and has been proven to be equivalent to ISO 8502-9.
A de-ionised water bottle is attached to the end of the Elcometer 146 SaltSmart™ Test Strip which is then fixed to the substrate using non-residue tape. The test strip is positioned at a 10° angle to allow the water to flow on to the foam sensor which is in contact with the substrate.
After approximately 8 minutes the test strip is removed and the amount of soluble salts present is measured using the Elcometer 146 SaltSmart™ Contamination Meter, which displays and stores results in µS/cm, ug/cm² or mg/m².
