The SSM was developed as a replacement for the Bresle patch inspection method (ISO 8502-6). The hand held design provides a self-contained, easily transportable unit for soluble salt measurements. The SSM and supplied fluid dispenser allow for quick and accurate injection of deionized water, extraction of surface salts, and conductivity and concentration measurement. The SSM is complete with a backlit LCD display and easy to follow on screen instructions. All data is stored electronically and can be downloaded to any PC spreadsheet program (such as Microsoft® Excel), using the supplied software. Electronic data can be incorporated into any Coating Technical File (CTF).

Meets ISO Standard 8502-9 “Field method for the conductometric determination of water-soluble salts”; Equivalent to ISO Standard 8502-6 “Extraction of soluble contaminants for analysis--The Bresle method”.

The SSM has been independently tested both in laboratory and Navy shipyard facilities and is approved by NAVSEA for use as a replacement to the Bresle patch method in NAVSEA Standard Item 009-32 (FY-10).
