The Bresle method was launched in 1995 in the ISO 8502-6 and ISO 8502-9 standards. The test was developed to measure soluble salt concentration on steel surfaces prior to blasting cleaning and coating. Not only ISO, but also the US Navy, IMO, NAVSEA, and ASTM adopted this method as their standard.

This article provides an overview of the Bresle method for measuring salt contamination, a comparison of the three different patch options offered by DeFelsko, and explains how the test is performed.

Jan 7, 2025 · It involves applying a special patch, known as a Bresle patch, to the surface being tested. The patch creates a sealed chamber into which the operator injects a specific volume of deionised water.

In this video, learn how to test salt contamination with the PosiTector SST Soluble Salt Tester and the Bresle method. The PosiTector SST measures the concentration of soluble salts on metal surfaces in accordance with ISO 8502-6 and 8502-9.

Oct 19, 2024 · This article examines the Bresle method as an alternative for determining average monthly chloride ion deposition rates, including a regression analysis comparing the Bresle method with the wet candle method, and examines the long-term salinity of exposed surfaces in comparison with the additive approach to surface salinity.

Jan 9, 2025 · The Bresle method outlined in ISO 8502-6 is the longstanding default for soluble salt contamination testing. Newer technology exists which can provide the full test in a single instrument, eliminating the need for consumable patches and syringes, and reducing the time required for testing from over 10 minutes to just one minute.

Explore the Bresle Patches Method's Direct Sample Procedure for measuring salt contamination in coatings. Optimize for better results.

The Bresle Patch Method is most common test method to measure chloride content. This chloride testing is done based on the requirements of the ISO 8502-6 and ISO/DIS 8502-9.

This document discusses methods for determining water soluble salts on steel surfaces, specifically the Bresle patch method described in ISO 8502-6. It provides background on how water soluble salts can affect coating performance if present before application.

This article provides an overview of the Bresle method for measuring salt contamination, a comparison of the three different patch options offered by DeFelsko and explains how the test is performed.
