The Unseen Threat to Industrial Coatings you need Soluble Salt Tester

Industrial coatings protect vital assets—bridges, pipelines, and storage tanks—from corrosion. However, an invisible enemy lurks on the surface: soluble salts. If you apply coatings over these contaminants, the salts draw moisture through the film, initiating osmotic blistering and causing catastrophic, premature coating failure. Preventing this damage requires a crucial step: accurate measurement of surface cleanliness.

The reliable Soluble Salt Tester provides the essential solution. These instruments quickly and effectively measure the concentration of soluble salts, typically reported in mg/m2, adhering to international standards like ISO 8502-6 and ISO 8502-9 (the Bresle method). You ensure surfaces meet specified cleanliness requirements before any coating work begins.

Fast, Accurate, and Essential Inspection

Inspection professionals rely on fast, dependable results. The best Soluble Salt Testers offer intuitive operation, making the testing process straightforward. You simply perform the test, and the device provides an accurate reading in moments. This rapid feedback prevents project delays and significantly reduces the risk of expensive rework later.

A quality tester is built for the demanding job site. It features robust, durable construction and often includes built-in temperature compensation for stable readings in varying conditions. This ruggedness ensures the instrument performs reliably wherever your work takes you.

By consistently using a Soluble Salt Tester, you take control of quality. You protect the integrity of your protective coating system, minimizing maintenance costs and maximizing the service life of critical infrastructure. Coating contractors who prioritize this testing immediately gain a competitive advantage, delivering superior, guaranteed results.

Protect your assets. Invest in a high-quality Soluble Salt Tester and make premature coating failure a risk of the past.
