Information
ISO 8502-6: Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products. Tests for the
assessment of surface cleanliness. Part 6: Extraction of soluble contaminants for analysis. The Bresle
method.
ISO 8502-9: Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products. Tests for the
assessment of surface cleanliness. Part 9: Field method for the conductometric determination of
water-soluble salts.
The Bresle Test will measure water-soluble salts and Supplied in an industrial foam-filled Carrying Case with
corrosion products on blast-cleaned steel. These 100 Bresle Patches, Conductivity Meter, 500ml
compounds are almost colourless and are localized at Deionised Water, 3 x 5ml Syringes with Needles,
the lowest point of the rust pits. Calibration Solution, Moistening Solution and 25ml
Beaker.
If they are not removed prior to painting, chemical
reactions can result in blister formation and
accumulations of rust that destroy the adhesion
between the substrate and the applied protective
coating.

Moistening Procedure
For first use on a new Conductivity Meter, moisten the
Measuring Electrode with 3 to 4 droplets of the
Moistening Solution and allow to sit for approximately
10 minutes, then the Measuring Electrode should be
rinsed in tap water and dried.
If the Measuring Electrode has not been used for a long

period of time, or if the Electrode has been left
extremely dry, then use this moistening procedure.
