The PosiTector Soluble Salt Tester (SST) is a hand-held
electronic instrument that measures the conductivity of a solution
and calculates the concentration of water-soluble salts on metal
surfaces in accordance with ISO 8502-6 (the Bresle Method) and
ISO 8502-9. It consists of a PosiTector body (Standard or
Advanced) and an interchangeable probe
The PosiTector SST is compatible with all Bresle Method-type
patches including the Bresle Method DeFelsko PosiPatch, Bresle
Method DeFelsko Patch and other adhesive patches. While
compatible with any test patch, there are numerous advantages
to the DeFelsko patch solutions.
The Bresle Method DeFelsko Patch is low cost, latex-free,
and works on nearly any surface geometry or material.
It features a low-tack adhesive which creates a
tight seal while remaining easy to remove without
leaving behind any foam residue.
The Bresle Method DeFelsko PosiPatch further simplifies the
Bresle method. It requires no adhesive, as it is held to a steel
surface by a magnetic holding ring. It has a built-in port
which allows deionized (DI) water to be injected
using a dull polypropylene dispensing tube,
eliminating sharp needles from the test. It
features a patented air-permeable membrane,
which automatically releases trapped air as DI
water is injected, then allows air bubbles to return
and agitate the surface as solution is withdrawn. It is also
reusable, and a single PosiPatch can be used for multiple tests.
The PosiTector SST can be used as a conventional conductivity
meter making it ideal for testing abrasive materials in accordance
with ISO 11127-6 and ASTM D4940-15. See Bresle Mode (pg. 9)
