The Bresle method of testing surfaces for salt contamination is recognized by ISO and ASTM standards. The DeFelsko SST test probe is an easy and accurate way to conduct these tests. Test patches are required to perform them and DeFelsko has multiple options, as follows:
- PosiPatch™. This innovative product utilizes a reusable patch, held by a magnetic ring against the surface. Available in 2 configurations:
- Rigid ring. Preferred for flat surfaces or round surfaces with greater than 40 inch diameter.
- Flexible ring. Preferred for round surfaces between 4 and 40 inch OD, or a minimum of 4.5 inches ID.
- Saves time and money vs. disposable patches.
- Utilizes a plastic needle - no sharp hypodermic needles required!
- Latex Disposable. The conventional Latex Adhesive Bresle Method Patch has a sample test volume range of up to 15 ml (the only DeFelsko version with this range) for applications where the spec requires this.
- Latex-Free Disposable. Similar to latex disposables but lower in cost, the DeFelsko Adhesive Bresle Method Patch is suitable when the 15 ml sample size of the latex version is not required.
