Product Description
Chloride ions on steel surface increase the probability that corrosion of the steel will take place even if a protective coating is applied. Chloride ions trapped under a coating in the presence of steel and moisture will form a corrosion cell. This corrosion process will result in premature failure of the protective coating and may cause blistering of coatings in immersion service.
Chloride test strips will indicate the concentration of chloride ions in the sample solution and if the area of sample collection and volume of water is known the concentration can be measured in parts per million or micro-grams per millimeter.
