Prepare your surface, protect your coating
Contamination, dust, or moisture left on the surface before application will compromise adhesion, durability, and the
integrity of your coating, no matter how good the product is.
Use the right instruments to verify your surface meets the required standards before a single drop of coating is applied.
Elcometer 130 SSP
Detect soluble salt
contamination before it's too late
Salt contamination is invisible to the naked eye, but it's one of the leading causes of coating failure. The Elcometer 130 SSP measures soluble salt levels quickly and accurately using the Bresle method, fully compliant with ISO 8502-6 and ISO 8502-9.
Bresle Patch Test
A complete kit for salt contamination testing
The Bresle Patch Test allows you to extract and measure soluble salts from blast-cleaned steel surfaces with precision. Supplied in an industrial carrying case with everything you need to run the test on site : Bresle Patches, Horiba Conductivity Meter, deionised water, syringe, calibration and conditioning solution. Compliant with ISO 8502-6 and ISO 8502-9.
Dust Test Kit
No dust, no compromise
Even low levels of dust on a surface can prevent proper adhesion and create defects beneath the coating film. The Dust Test Kit allows you to assess dust quantity and particle size in accordance with ISO 8502-3, a fast, reliable check before every application..
Not Sure Which Instrument You Need?
Surface preparation standards can be complex. Our team helps you select the right equipment for your substrate, your environment, and the specifications that apply to your project — so you get it right before the coating goes on.
Inspect with confidence, deliver to standard
Once the coating is applied, your job isn't done. Inspection is what ensures the work meets specification and protects you
from rework, claims, and project delays. These instruments give you full control over the quality of the finished coating.
Coating Thickness Gauge
Measure what matters
Verify dry film thickness quickly and accurately on any substrate ferrous, non-ferrous, or both. Ensuring the correct film thickness is fundamental to coating performance and compliance with project specifications.
Adhesion Tester
Test the bond, validate the work
Adhesion testing confirms that your coating is properly bonded to the substrate. Whether you use pull-off or cross-cut methods, our adhesion testers deliver reliable, repeatable results in line with ISO and ASTM standards.
Paint Inspection Kit
Everything you need in one kit
The Paint Inspection Kit brings together the essential instruments for a complete coating inspection workflow from surface preparation to final checks. Designed for inspectors and coating contractors who need reliable tools in the field, every day.
Dew Point Meter
Don't let weather kill your coating
Applying a coating when temperature and humidity conditions are outside specification leads to poor film formation and early failure. The Dew Point Meter gives you real-time environmental readings so you can apply with confidence whatever the conditions.
Need Help Reading Your Results?
Inspection data is only useful if you know how to act on it. Our team supports you in interpreting measurements, understanding compliance requirements, and making the right calls on the job from first coat to final sign-off.

Frequently Asked Questions
What instruments do I need before applying a coating?
Before any coating application, you need to verify surface cleanliness. This means checking for soluble salt contamination using a Bresle-method meter and assessing dust levels with a Dust Test Kit. These two steps are essential to ensure proper adhesion and long-term coating performance.
Can I buy the instruments from the Paint Inspection Kit separately?
Yes. All instruments included in the Paint Inspection Kit are also available individually. If you only need one or two specific tools, you can purchase them separately or contact our team to build a custom kit tailored to your project.
How do I choose the right coating thickness gauge?
The right gauge depends on your substrate type (ferrous, non-ferrous, or both) and the coating system you're working with.
Are your instruments compliant with international standards?
Yes. Our instruments are compatible with ISO, SSPC, NACE, and ASTM standards.
