SP7310 TQC Bresle kit | The TQC Bresle Kit - Chloride Test Kit complies with the ISO 8502-6 and ISO 8502-9 standards that describe the Bresle Method to assess the level of soluble salts using a patch, distilled water and a conductivity gauge. The conductivity is mainly directly proportional to the concentration of dissolved chloride ions in the solution. The kit includes all the necessary equipment to execute a bresle test that will indicate the contamination of soluble salts on blast-cleaned surfaces prior to coating. Inside the TQC Bresle Kit - Chloride Test Kit is a conductivity gauge used for the assessment of soluble salt ions as chlorides, sulphates and nitrates. |

LD6504 TQC Bresle Patches | The TQC Bresle Patch is used to test for surface contaminants, such as salt, which may cause major problems and increase maintenance costs for shipping, vessels, ballast tanks, oil and gas piping, industry buildings and steel structures in general. Coating failure such as blistering and corrosion may be the result of a too high level of salt prior to painting. The Bresle Method described in the ISO 8502-6 is commonly used to measure the level of surface salts prior to coating. A so-called bresle patch (a small self-adhesive plastic patch) with a washed latex membrane and a known surface area is used to dissolve the soluble salts. | Download PDF | Link to TQC |

SP3200 Dust tape kit | The TQC Dust Test Kit according ISO 8502-3 allows assessment of the quantity and size of dust particles on surfaces prepared for painting. Dust on blast cleaned surfaces can reduce coating adhesion, leading to premature coating failure and sub-standard coating finish. The dust test kit can be used in accordance with the recommendations of BS EN ISO 8502-3 either as a pass/fail test or as a permanent record of the presence of dust. | Download PDF | Link to TQC |

SP3600 Spring loaded roller for Dust Test Tape and the TQC Dust Test Kit |
SPRING LOADED ROLLER FOR DUST TEST TAPEThe TQC Spring Loaded Roller is used to perform objective dust tests according ISO 8502-3, and eliminates the human error by pressing with a constant force on the dust test tape. The ISO 8502-3 quantifies the quantity and size of dust particles on surfaces prepared for painting using a standarized tape for dust test. Dust on blast cleaned surfaces can reduce coating adhesion, leading to premature coating failure and sub-standard coating finish. | Download Datasheet | Link to TQC |
