Elcometer 138
Bresle Salt KitChecks soluble salt contamination on a prepared surface using a Bresle patch and portable meter. The meter converts conductivity readings into surface salt density, helping inspectors assess cleanliness before coating.
Inspection instruments for major coating and finishing projects, from surface preparation and application conditions to final quality checks.
Explore a selection of Elcometer instruments relevant to industrial coating inspection. Each product below links to Elcometer's own technical page for model options and specifications. Tell Kubrii your substrate, coating and inspection requirements when requesting a quote.
Confirm the condition of the substrate before the coating is applied.
Checks soluble salt contamination on a prepared surface using a Bresle patch and portable meter. The meter converts conductivity readings into surface salt density, helping inspectors assess cleanliness before coating.
Measures peak-to-valley surface profile on flat or curved surfaces after abrasive blasting. Use the reading to check whether the prepared surface offers the profile required by the coating specification.
Check the environment before and during painting.
Records climatic conditions relevant to painting, including air and surface temperature, humidity and dew point. Helps teams decide whether site conditions are suitable for coating work and document them for inspection records.
Verify that the applied protective layer meets the project requirement.
Measures dry film thickness of coatings on metal substrates. Integral and separate-probe versions support different access and surface conditions; available functions vary by gauge model and probe.
Uses ultrasonic measurement to check coating thickness on concrete and similar cementitious substrates without cutting into the coating. Useful when inspecting protective systems on structures beyond steel.
Assess bond strength and locate discontinuities in finished coatings.
Applies controlled pull-off force to a bonded dolly to measure the adhesion of a coating to its substrate or between layers. Automated force application helps make repeatable site and laboratory tests.
Uses the wet-sponge method to find pinholes and other discontinuities in nonconductive coatings over conductive substrates. A practical low-voltage choice for appropriate thin coating systems.
Uses high-voltage testing to locate coating flaws or porosity in protective coatings, including pipeline applications. Selection of voltage and accessories depends on the coating system and inspection standard.
