Features
Prevent maintenance costs
A too high level of salts may cause coating failures like blistering and corrosion. This might cause major problems and increase maintenance costs for shipping, vessels, ballast tanks, oil and gas piping, industry buildings and steel structures in general. That’s why measuring the level of salts prior to coating is essential.
Bresle Method Soluble Salt Test
The Bresle Method, detailed in ISO 8502-6 and -9, leverages Bresle patches for testing surface contaminants, especially salts. Widely adopted in industry, this method quantifies surface salt levels before coating applications, following stringent salt test procedures, standards, and acceptance criteria.
Excessive salt levels can lead to coating failures, such as blistering and corrosion, resulting in substantial maintenance expenses for shipping, vessels, ballast tanks, oil and gas pipelines, industrial structures, and steel frameworks. That’s why conducting salt tests, adhering to salt test methods and standards, is crucial for safeguarding your assets and reducing long-term maintenance costs.
