3.1 Determine Test Area
Select the section on the steel surface to be used as the test area for
assessment of the total surface density of salts. It should preferably be dry
and with no loosely adherent rust, dirt or moisture (dampness), so that the
patch frame can properly adhere to the surface. The Bresle patch can be
placed in almost every position, vertical, horizontal, slanting or on surfaces
that are not completely flat.
It is recommended to test more than one spot to catch the
variations of the contamination level!
