Elcometer 130 - SCM400 Salt Contamination Meter

Soluble salts on a surface are absorbed into a special filter paper soaked with distilled water. The Elcometer 130, having measured the resistivity of the paper, calculates and displays the salt level in ug cm-2.

  • Suitable for a wide range of shapes, orientations and surfaces and finishes
  • Quick and simple to use
  • Battery operated and portable
  • Confirms adequate cleaning of surfaces before coating, aiding the prevention of premature coating failure
  • Shows salt build-up on vulnerable surfaces which can be treated to increase the lifetime of coatings
  • Test papers can be re-moistened and a similar test result can be achieved - ideal for proof and ISO requirements

Elcometer 134A Chloride Ion Test Kit for Abrasives

Chlorides deposited on a surface, by contaminated abrasive, during blasting can cause a coating to fail prematurely. Contamination can build up - particularly if the blast media is recycled several times.

The Elcometer 134A is an easy to use, accurate field test which allows you to determine if your abrasive is contaminated with chlorides and thus prevent costly surface related failures.

Chloride Ion testing can now be achieved quickly and accurately using a novel extraction method, based on the CHLOR*EXTRACT™ solution. No needles are involved.

This test does not contain mercury

Elcometer 134S Salt Detection Kit for Blast Cleaned Surfaces

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 product - before the full life of the coating has been achieved.

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

Chloride Ion testing can now be achieved quickly and accurately using a novel extraction method, based on the CHLOR*EXTRACT™ solution.

  • No needles are involved
  • This test does not contain mercury

Elcometer 134W Chloride Ion Test Kit for Water/Liquids

Coatings can fail due to chlorides being deposited on a surface by contaminated water during pressure washing, UHP water jetting or wet abrasive blasting.

The Elcometer 134W is an easy to use, accurate, field based test which allows the User to determine if your wah water is contaminated with chlorides and thus prevent costly surface coating failures.

The Elcometer 134W can also be used to monitor the recycled water (after it has been applied) to establish how effectively salt removal is occurring

Chloride Ion testing can now be achieved quickly and accurately using a novel extraction method, based on the CHLOR*EXTRACT™ solution.

  • No needles are involved
  • This test does not contain mercury

Elcometer 128 Pictorial Surface Standards

Elcometer have a complete range of Surface Standards, covering most of the required standards for surface cleanliness, including rust standards. These include:

  • The Swedish Standard - ISO 8501, SIS 055900
  • The British Standard - BS 7079: Part A1
  • The SSPC Standard - VIS 1-89
  • The SSPC Standard - VIS-3

Elcometer 122 Testex Tape and Elcometer 124 Thickness Gauge

Whereas comparators allow the estimation of surface roughness, by both touch and sight; the Elcometer 122 Testex Tape allows the user to measure the peak to valley height of the profile.

Elcometer 122 Testex Tape consists of foam with a non-compressible backing. The foam side is rubbed onto a surface providing a permanent mold of the surface profile.

The Elcometer 124 Thickness Gauge is then used to measure the peak-to-valley height of a surface profile formed in Elcometer 122 Testex Tape.

  • Available in both metric and imperial versions
  • Low cost, quick and easy to use
  • Provides a permanent record of surface profile for your ISO requirements
  • Can be used in accordance with ASTM D 4417 method C and NACE RP0287-95

Elcometer 123 Surface Profile Gauge

This is an easy to use gauge that measures the point-to-valley height of a surface.

The average of a series of measurements provides and indication of the surface roughness and allows the surfaces to be compared.

Simple and low cost
Metric and Imperial Versions
Can be used in accordance with ASTM D 4417 Method B


Elcometer 223 Digital Surface Profile Gauge

The Elcometer 223 is a battery operated Digital Surface Profile Gauge which measures the peak-to-valley height of a surface in a similar way to the Elcometer 123 analogue equivalent, but with the added benefit of direct RS232 output.

RS232 output - for transfer of readings to a PC, datalogger, printer etc - providing a permanent record of your test results
Metric and Imperial Versions
Increased resolution
Can be used in accordance with ASTM D 4417 Method B

Elcometer 133 Ships Propeller Roughness Comparators

Comparators allow the estimation of surface roughness, by both touch and sight.

The Elcometer 133 Ships Propeller Roughness Comparators are available in two models:

The Elcometer 133 15 - Surface Comparator -Consists of a roughness scale and a sheet giving guidance on the inspection and repair of propeller blades
The Elcometer 133 16 - Underwater Comparator - Designed specifically for underwater examinations of the propeller's surface

Elcometer 119 Pipe Pit Gauge

The Elcometer 119 Pipe Pit Gauge is a small pocket sized gauge designed to identify the condition of a pipe.

The gauge is placed horizontally on the surface of the pipe and the stylus is positioned into the base of the corrosion pit.

The gauge shows the pit depth compared with the actual pipe wall thickness


Elcometer 101 Scale 45 Roughness Gauge

Whereas comparators allow the estimation of surface roughness, by both touch and sight, the Elcometer 101 estimates the roughness of iron and steel surfaces.

Its scale indicates the suitability of the surface for paints, metal coatings and hard metal coatings.
