The Elcometer 138 Basic Bresle Kit and Patches provides all the
materials and equipment required to determine the surface chloride
contamination level.
Chloride salts are extracted from the surface using the Bresle Patch
method and the chloride content of the test solution is measured using
a conductivity meter.
These instructions incorporate two test methods:
ISO 8502-6 / ISO8502-9
US NAVY PPI 63101-000 (Rev 27)
The Elcometer 138 Basic Bresle Kit and Patches can also be used in
accordance with ISO 8502-11; AS 3894.6-A and SSPC Guide 15.
a
For IMO PSPC , the surface salts should be measured and recorded.
The Elcometer 138 Basic Bresle Kit and Patches can be used for this.

Note: The Elcometer 138E Conductivity Meter included in the test kit measures the
conductivity of aqueous solutions. The meter is NOT designed to measure
solids, organic solvents, surfactant, oil, adhesive, alcohol, strong acids
(pH: 0 to 2) or strong alkalis (pH: 12 to 14). The life of the sensor will be
extremely short if these substances are measured.
3.1 BEFORE YOU START
1 Calibrate the conductivity meter, see Section .6 and 5.7 on s 5
pages and en-14.en-10
2 As the test is extremely sensitive, clean latex or nitrile gloves
should be worn during the extraction of soluble salts to prevent
contamination of the surface.
3.2 TEST PROCEDURE
1 Remove the printed protective backing
and foam centre from the Bresle
patch.
2 Apply the patch to the surface
pressing firmly around the perimeter of
the patch to ensure a complete seal
and remove the clear protective film
cover using the orange tab.
3 Fill a syringe with 3ml of pure water.
4 Insert the syringe into the patch
through the spongy foam perimeter at
an angle of approximately 30° to the
test surface so that it passes through
the foam into the compartment formed
by the elastomer film and the test
surface. If the patch is positioned in a
difficult position bend the needle as
required.
5 Inject the pure water into the patch.
Do not remove the needle.
If necessary, any air can be evacuated
into the syringe and allowed to stay above
the water in the syringe. Take care not to
re-insert the air during steps 6 and 7.
b
6 During a suitable period of time ,
without removing the needle, suck and
re-inject the solution at least four
c
times .

R
b On un-pitted blast-cleaned areas, a period of 10 minutes has been found to be satisfactory, though this
time should be agreed by the interested parties.
c During steps 6 and 7, it is essential that no solution is lost. If any solution is lost, the test shall be rejected.
3 TEST PROCEDURE: ISO 8502-6 / ISO 8502-9 (continued)
7 At the end of the period, extract as much solution as possible and
c
remove the syringe from the patch .
8 Measure the conductivity of the solution using the Elcometer
138E Conductivity Meter, see Section 5.9 on page en-16. Inject
the sample directly into the sensor cell. Rinse the sensor cell
several times with the solution to be measured before taking the
reading.
3.3 AFTER TEST
1 Record the temperature of the solution.
2 Remove the patch from the surface and clean the surface. If
required, any adhesive residue from the patch left on the test
surface can be removed by wiping with a cloth moistened with a
suitable solvent. Ensure that the solvent will not damage the
surface before use.
3 Rinse all components of the test kit, other than the patch, in
fresh, pure water. The components can then be used again.
3.4 TO CALCULATE THE SURFACE DENSITY OF SALTS

Note: ISO 8502-9 allows for the measurement of the pure water before testing and
then the subtraction of that value from that obtained in section 3.2 step 8 above.

4.1 BEFORE YOU START
1 Calibrate the conductivity meter, see Sections 5.6 and 5.7 on
pages en-10 and en-14.
2 As the test is extremely sensitive, clean latex or nitrile gloves
should be worn during the extraction of soluble salts to prevent
contamination of the surface.
4.2 TEST PROCEDURE
Measurements are to be made randomly over the prepared surface.
2 2
Five measurements should be taken every 90m (1000ft ). Five
2 2
measurements should be taken for areas less than 90m (1000ft ).
1 Remove the printed protective
backing and foam centre from the
Bresle patch.
2 Apply the patch to the surface
pressing firmly around the perimeter
of the patch to ensure a complete
seal and remove the clear protective
film cover using the orange tab.
3 Fill a syringe with 3ml of pure water.
4 Insert the syringe into the patch
through the spongy foam perimeter
and inject 1.5ml of pure water into
the patch. Do not remove the
syringe.
5 With the syringe still in the patch,
reposition the needle and evacuate
any air in the patch.
6 Once the air has been removed,
inject the remaining 1.5ml of pure
water.
7 Remove the syringe from the patch.
8 Rub the surface of the patch gently for
10 to 15 seconds to allow the water to
dissolve surface contaminants.
9 Insert the syringe into the patch
through the spongy foam perimeter
and extract the solution from the
patch.

4.4 PASS / FAIL CRITERIA
For immersed applications, conductivity due to soluble salts (total
ionic) shall not exceed 30µS/cm.
For non-immersed applications, conductivity due to soluble salts shall
not exceed 70µS/cm.
Note: The charts produced by the US Navy for the calculation of chloride levels are not
required for this test method. Please contact Elcometer or your local Elcometer
supplier if you require a copy of these charts.

5 USING THE CONDUCTIVITY METER (continued)
When a range other than AUTO is selected, the meter can be
calibrated only for that particular range. If a sample is measured which
has a higher conductivity level than the selected measuring range, the
error message ‘OR’ is displayed.
To select the measuring range (Figure 3):
1 With the meter switched off, press and hold the ‘°C/°F’ button,
then switch the meter on. Release the ‘°C/°F’ button.
2 The meter goes into range selection mode. The currently
selected range is shown in the lower display. The upper display
shows the maximum possible reading for the selected range.
Press ‘HOLD ENT’ repeatedly until the required range is
displayed (PU, LO or HI).
3 The meter automatically conrms the last selection if no button is
pressed for 5 seconds. The upper display momentarily shows
‘CO’. The LCD shows the power-up sequence and the meter
goes to measurement mode.
