The Elcometer
130 has been designed to be very repeatable and accurate.
In order to achieve
this accurate result, as with all salt test equipment, care should
be taken to avoid contamination by touch.
- Using the gloves
and plastic tweezers, remove one of the sample paper discs
- Fill one of
the syringes with distilled water and carefully allow the sample
paper to absorb the correct amount of water (as described in the
operating instructions)
- Place the water
filled sample paper onto the substrate under test, using the tweezers
to gently push the paper into the metal profile.
- Press the green
button on the Elcometer 130 and wait for the alarm to indicate that
the testing time is complete
- Using the tweezers,
place the sample paper onto the central section of the Elcometer
130 (See Below), close the lid and press the green button again
- Read the salt
value on the display.

Place
the sample paper onto the test area - depicted by the red circle in
the picture.
