DeFelsko PosiTector SST – Professional Soluble Salt Tester (Bresle Method, ISO 8502-6/9) The PosiTector SST is a high-performance inspection instrument designed to measure soluble salt contamination on metal surfaces following abrasive cleaning processes such as blasting. Excess soluble salts can compromise coating adhesion and lead to premature corrosion. This gauge simplifies and streamlines salt testing using the Bresle Method in full compliance with ISO 8502-6 and 8502-9.   What Does It Measure? With its certified conductivity probe, the PosiTector SST accurately measures: Conductivity (µS/cm) of the test solution. Sample temperature (°C or °F), automatically normalized to 25°C. Test duration, as required by ISO standards. Surface salt density (mg/m² or µg/cm²), auto-calculated based on conductivity and test volume.   Key Features and Technical Advantages 1. Simple and Guided Step-by-step 1-2-3 interface guides users through the Bresle test. 2.8" color impact-resistant touchscreen with intuitive redesigned keypad. On-gage help explains each menu item on demand. Auto-stores background (blank) measurement—ideal for repetitive testing. 2. Accurate and Standard-Compliant Comes with a Long Form Certificate of Calibration (NIST traceable). Includes certified calibration solution to verify probe accuracy. Automatically normalizes readings for temperature deviations. Fully compliant with: ISO 8502-6/9, ASTM D4940, ISO 11127-6, and more. 3. Modern Connectivity USB, WiFi, and Bluetooth connections to PosiSoft software for PC/Mac/Smartphone. Stores all measurements with date/time stamps. Capture screen images (up to 100) for documentation. Supports external USB storage without needing extra software. 4. Rugged and Reliable IP65-rated enclosure: weatherproof, dustproof, water-resistant. Ergonomic body with durable rubberized grip and protective holster. Runs up to 20 hours on 3 AAA batteries—ideal for field use. 2-year warranty on both gauge body and probe. 5. Flexible Platform Part of the PosiTector interchangeable platform—compatible with various probe types (coating thickness, surface profile, dew point, hardness, gloss, ultrasonic thickness, and more). Adjustable Bresle patch volume. Multiple kits available with full accessories included. Auto-rotating display and multiple language options.   Ideal Applications: Testing for soluble salt contamination on metal prior to coating. Testing blast media in accordance with ASTM D4940 and ISO 11127-6. Testing water conductivity in the range of 0–500 µS/cm.
