Soluble Salt Meter (SSM) Salt Contamination Meter
Product Description
|
The Soluble Salt Meter (SSM) Salt Contamination Meter is developed specifically to address problems with US Navy and IMO test protocols using the Bresle Patch. The SSM exactly duplicates the Bresle Patch process but with a higher accuracy and reproducibility. Measurements are automated and there are no consumables. The complete test sequence requires less than a minute.
The Soluble Salt Meter (SSM) is a patented design that provides a hand held, automated method for detection of soluble salts on flat surfaces. The SSM has been independently tested both in laboratory and US Navy shipyard facilities and is approved by NAVSEA for use as a replacement to the Bresle patch method in NAVSEA Standard Item 009-32 (FY-10). The Soluble Salt Meter (SSM) combines surface salt extraction and conductivity measurement in one tool, allowing convenient and ergonomic operation. It is developed as a direct replacement for the Bresle patch inspection method (ISO 8502-6). The hand held design provides a self-contained, easily transportable, unit for soluble salt measurements. The SSM and supplied fluid dispenser allow for quick and accurate injection of deionized water, automatic extraction of surface salts and conductivity measurement. The Soluble Salt Meter (SSM) is complete with a backlit LCD display and easy to follow on screen instructions. Up to a 1000 measurements can be stored in the internal memory. This data can be downloaded to any PC and exported in Microsoft® Excel file format for use in any Coating Technical File (CTF) using the supplied software. The Soluble Salt Meter (SSM) Salt Contamination Meter can be used in accordance with:

Test Method
Soluble Salts Meter
The Soluble Salts Meter (SSM) performs a measurement cycle in five easy steps:
1) Attach SSM to surface
2) Inject de-ionized water into SSM with one press of the dose bottle
3) Press “Start”: SSM automatically
- agitates solution
- takes a measurement
- displays the result on the LC D screen
- stores the data in memory
4) Remove SSM and wipe remaining water from surface
5) Clean meter by flushing with deionized water
