Soluble Salt Determination Using the Saturated Filer paper Extraction Method

Soluble Salt Determination Using the Saturated Filer paper Extraction Method
Available for download

The determination of the concentration of soluble salts on a surface prior to the application of paint is a key inspection task for most protective coating processes. The entrapment of soluble salts, particularly on a steel surface can lead to premature coating adhesion failure and corrosion cells being established.

The determination of the concentration of soluble salts on a surface prior to the application of paint is a key inspection task for most protective coating processes. The entrapment of soluble salts, particularly on a steel surface can lead to premature coating adhesion failure and corrosion cells being established. This leads to a severe reduction in the expected life of the protective paint system. SSPC Guide 15 describes the saturate special filter paper conductivity meter methodology amongst others for the retrieval and analysis of soluble salts from steel and other nonporous surfaces. There have been recent developments in the design and features of the equipment available for this specific test. This test method has been used for many years and the basic method for extracting the soluble salts from the surface using a cleaned filter paper and pure water is unchanged. However, the electronic conductivity meter has been redesigned to include a menu structure with the measurement sequence displayed and a reading memory to store the values obtained using this test. The data contained in the memory can be transferred to Data Management Software to automate the presentation of the results in reports. This paper describes the measurement method and presents a case study of the analysis of test panels to demonstrate the performance of the method.

Speed up Your Dry Film Thickness Measurements Using a Scanning Probe

Time is money and the ability to speed up the process of taking and analyzing coating thickness readings will always pay dividends in reducing inspection costs. Scanning an area of painted steel will always be quicker than taking individual readings but there was always the danger of wearing the probe and reducing its life.

In the spring of 2014, a new SSPC-PA21 standard is scheduled to be published. Despite the fact that this is the second major revision in as many years, new technologies and techniques have been introduced since the 2014 standard was revised and sent to ballot. Some examples include a factory-calibrated coating thickness gauge with pre-defined surface profiles, as well as a scanning probe designed to be slid across a cured coating while taking readings in real time. When these new technologies are put into practice, dramatic improvements in overall inspection times and data accuracy can be seen.

This paper deals with the issue of surface contaminates analyses presently available on the market. The amount of variations of analyses and more important statements of the results cause great problems on the market. Described in the paper are not only the analyses possible, but also the interpretations belonging to them. However, salt measurements are used worldwide, its basics often appear to be a worldwide mystery. This paper should clarify the most common made mistakes.
