Ion Specific Tests

Chloride, Sulphate & Nitrate Kit | Elcometer 134CSN

Designed to accurately, measure surface chloride, sulphate and nitrate ions in minutes, the Elcometer 134 CSN Salt kit offers a single kit solution for testing in the field.

All the components of the Elcometer CSN Test Kits are pre-measured and pre-dosed for trouble free testing.

Results are recorded in parts per million (ppm) requiring no complicated calculations. Elcometer 134 CSN tests are all designed to use a ratio of 1:1 for easy conversation to µg/cm².

Chloride Ion Detection Kit for Blast Cleaned Surfaces | Elcometer 134S

Chloride salts left on the surface before the first coat is applied can result in the coating system being forced off the surface by corrosion or blistering before the full life of the coating has been reached.

To ensure that the chloride has been removed it is essential that the surface is tested before the coating is applied.

Elcometer 134S test method: a latex sleeve is filled with a Chlor*Rid extract solution and stuck to the test surface where the solution is worked against the surface to extract the salts. The titration tube is inserted and the results can be recorded.

Chloride Ion Test Kit for Abrasives | Elcometer 134A

Chlorides deposited on a surface by contaminated abrasives during blasting can cause a coating to fail prematurely.

Contamination can build up, particularly if the blast media is recycled several times. Using the Elcometer 134A Chloride Ion Test for abrasives in the field will accurately identify contamination and prevent costly surface-related failures.

Results are recorded in parts per million (ppm) requiring no complicated calculations. Elcometer 134A test is designed to use a ratio of 1:1 for easy conversation to µg/cm².

Chloride Ion Test Kit for Liquids | Elcometer 134W

If the chloride levels in the wash water are too high, this will promote premature corrosion, shortening the life of both steel and concrete structures.

Used to monitor recycled water to establish effectiveness of salt removal, this test is ideal when mixing concrete and when washing steel.

Results are given in ppm.
