Data Sheet / Instructions
Bresle Test
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 corrosion products on blast-cleaned steel. These compounds are almost colourless and are localized at the lowest point of the rust pits. 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.
Supplied in an industrial foam-filled Carrying Case with Bresle Patches (pack of 50 Standard Adhesion), Bresle Patches Plus (pack of 50 High Adhesion), Conductivity Meter, 500ml Deionised Water, 3 x 5ml Syringes, Calibration Solution, Moistening Solution and 25ml Beaker.
Bresle Test
When high adhesion strength Patches are required for testing on very corroded or coarse-grade blasted steel, use the Bresle Patches Plus as an alternative to the Standard Bresle Patches .

Bresle Test Operation
Safety
Conductivity Meter Cal
The needles on the Syringes in the Bresle Test are blunt. Care must still be taken when carrying out the test.
Place 3 to 4 droplets of the 1.41mS/cm Conductivity Solution into the Measuring Electrode, ensuring that the solution is in both sections of the Electrode with no air bubbles. Check the displayed reading which is shown when the smiley face comes on and if this is not 1.41 then calibrate as follows:
When using the Syringes ensure the work area is well lit, be aware of people around you and assess any hazards. Ensure the protective cap is placed over the needle after use.
Press and hold the Cal button until a CAL indicator and smiley face flashes – the Conductivity Meter will now auto calibrate. When the CAL indicator and smiley face stop flashing, calibration is complete. When you have finished calibrating the Conductivity Meter, the Measuring Electrode should be rinsed in tap water before taking any readings.
If the Calibration Solution comes into contact with exposed skin, wash with water. If the Solution comes into contact with eyes, rinse the eye Immediately and seek medical advice.
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.

Taking Measurements
Results
Pour approximately 10ml of Deionized Water into the Beaker.
Subtract the initial Deionised Water conductivity reading from the contaminated water conductivity reading. The results are shown in µS/cm.
Completely fill the Syringe with the Deionized Water from the Beaker, and then empty the Syringe back into the Beaker. Using the Syringe, withdraw approximately 1ml of Deionized Water from the Beaker and place 3 to 4 droplets into the Measuring Electrode on the Conductivity Meter, ensuring that the Deionized Water is in both sections of the Electrode with no air bubbles. Record the conductivity of the contaminated water displayed by the Meter when the smiley face appears. Take a Bresle Patch and remove the protective paper and the punched-out centre foam. Press the adhesive side of the patch against the test surface in such a way that the minimum amount of air is trapped in the circular test chamber. Fill the Syringe with 2.5ml of Deionized Water from the Beaker and insert the Syringe needle at an angle of about 30° to the test surface near the outer edge of the Patch so it passes through the adhesive foam body and into the circular test chamber. If the Patch is in a position which makes access to the Patch test chamber difficult, bend the Syringe needle as required. Inject the Syringe contents ensuring that it wets the entire test surface, then without removing the Syringe needle from the Patch, suck the contents of the Patch back into the Syringe. Repeat until at least 10 injection–sucking cycles have been completed. At the end of the 10th cycle retrieve the contaminated water from the Patch with the Syringe and place 3 to 4 droplets into the Measuring Electrode on the Conductivity Meter, ensuring that the Deionized Water is in both sections of the Electrode with no air bubbles. Record the conductivity of the contaminated water displayed by the Meter when the smiley face appears.
For results in µg/cm2 multiply the µS/cm value by 0.1 or use the conversion table on the following page. If results in mg/m2 are required the µS/cm value is the same in mg/m2. The conversions listed are based on a test area of 1250mm2 and using a 2.5ml volume of water. Expression of results are based on section 7 of ISO 8502-9
Example. The Deionized Water measurement taken is 4µS/cm. The contaminated water measurement taken is 54µS/cm. The difference is therefore 50µS/cm which is equivalent to 50mg/m 2. Multiply the difference (50µS/cm) by 0.1 and the result is 5.0µg/cm 2. The Conductivity Meter will automatically take measurements when a solution is placed in the Measuring Electrode. If a further measurement is required press the Measure button and a MEAS indicator flashes. When the MEAS indicator stops flashing and a smiley face appears the measurement is complete.

General
Testing Abrasives
Care
ISO 11127-6: Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products. Test methods for non-metallic blast-cleaning abrasives. Part 6: Determination of water-soluble contaminants by conductivity measurement.
When you have finished using the Conductivity Meter, the Measuring Electrode should be rinsed in tap water and dried. Then place a small amount of Deionized Water in the Electrode and replace the sensor cap. Also ensure the Syringe is cleaned to remove any contamination.
The Bresle Test can also be used for testing non-metallic abrasives for water-soluble salts and corrosion products.
Patch Shelf Life
Record the conductivity of the Deionized Water using the same procedure under the section Taking Measurements.
The only degeneration on the Bresle Patches is the adhesive if exposed to extremes of temperature.
It is recommended that the Patches are used within a 12-month period from date of purchase.
Replacing Batteries To replace the batteries on the Conductivity Meter, slide off the sensor while lifting the catch located on the rear of the instrument. Replace with 2 lithium CR-2032 batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
Place 100gm of abrasive into a flask and add 100ml of the Deionized Water that you have recorded the conductivity of. Shake for 5 minutes and allow to stand for 1 hour. If the liquid does not clear, filter by any suitable method. Using the Syringe, withdraw approximately 1ml of contaminated water from the flask and place 3 to 4 droplets into the Measuring Electrode on the Conductivity Meter, ensuring that the contaminated water is in both sections of the Electrode with no air bubbles. Record the conductivity of the contaminated water displayed by the Meter when the smiley face appears.
Subtract the initial Deionized Water conductivity reading from the contaminated water conductivity reading. Record the results as shown in µS/cm.

Data Sheet / Instructions
Bresle Test
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 corrosion products on blast-cleaned steel. These compounds are almost colourless and are localized at the lowest point of the rust pits. 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.
Supplied in an industrial foam-filled Carrying Case with Bresle Patches (pack of 50 Standard Adhesion), Bresle Patches Plus (pack of 50 High Adhesion), Conductivity Meter, 500ml Deionised Water, 3 x 5ml Syringes, Calibration Solution, Moistening Solution and 25ml Beaker.
Bresle Test
When high adhesion strength Patches are required for testing on very corroded or coarse-grade blasted steel, use the Bresle Patches Plus as an alternative to the Standard Bresle Patches .

Safety
Conductivity Meter Cal
The needles on the Syringes in the Bresle Test are blunt. Care must still be taken when carrying out the test.
Place 3 to 4 droplets of the 1.41mS/cm Conductivity Solution into the Measuring Electrode, ensuring that the solution is in both sections of the Electrode with no air bubbles. Check the displayed reading which is shown when the smiley face comes on and if this is not 1.41 then calibrate as follows:
When using the Syringes ensure the work area is well lit, be aware of people around you and assess any hazards. Ensure the protective cap is placed over the needle after use.
Press and hold the Cal button until a CAL indicator and smiley face flashes – the Conductivity Meter will now auto calibrate. When the CAL indicator and smiley face stop flashing, calibration is complete. When you have finished calibrating the Conductivity Meter, the Measuring Electrode should be rinsed in tap water before taking any readings.
If the Calibration Solution comes into contact with exposed skin, wash with water. If the Solution comes into contact with eyes, rinse the eye Immediately and seek medical advice.
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.

Taking Measurements
Results
Pour approximately 10ml of Deionized Water into the Beaker.
Subtract the initial Deionised Water conductivity reading from the contaminated water conductivity reading. The results are shown in µS/cm.
Completely fill the Syringe with the Deionized Water from the Beaker, and then empty the Syringe back into the Beaker. Using the Syringe, withdraw approximately 1ml of Deionized Water from the Beaker and place 3 to 4 droplets into the Measuring Electrode on the Conductivity Meter, ensuring that the Deionized Water is in both sections of the Electrode with no air bubbles. Record the conductivity of the contaminated water displayed by the Meter when the smiley face appears. Take a Bresle Patch and remove the protective paper and the punched-out centre foam. Press the adhesive side of the patch against the test surface in such a way that the minimum amount of air is trapped in the circular test chamber. Fill the Syringe with 2.5ml of Deionized Water from the Beaker and insert the Syringe needle at an angle of about 30° to the test surface near the outer edge of the Patch so it passes through the adhesive foam body and into the circular test chamber. If the Patch is in a position which makes access to the Patch test chamber difficult, bend the Syringe needle as required. Inject the Syringe contents ensuring that it wets the entire test surface, then without removing the Syringe needle from the Patch, suck the contents of the Patch back into the Syringe. Repeat until at least 10 injection–sucking cycles have been completed. At the end of the 10th cycle retrieve the contaminated water from the Patch with the Syringe and place 3 to 4 droplets into the Measuring Electrode on the Conductivity Meter, ensuring that the Deionized Water is in both sections of the Electrode with no air bubbles. Record the conductivity of the contaminated water displayed by the Meter when the smiley face appears.
For results in µg/cm2 multiply the µS/cm value by 0.1 or use the conversion table on the following page. If results in mg/m2 are required the µS/cm value is the same in mg/m2. The conversions listed are based on a test area of 1250mm2 and using a 2.5ml volume of water. Expression of results are based on section 7 of ISO 8502-9
Example. The Deionized Water measurement taken is 4µS/cm. The contaminated water measurement taken is 54µS/cm. The difference is therefore 50µS/cm which is equivalent to 50mg/m 2. Multiply the difference (50µS/cm) by 0.1 and the result is 5.0µg/cm 2. The Conductivity Meter will automatically take measurements when a solution is placed in the Measuring Electrode. If a further measurement is required press the Measure button and a MEAS indicator flashes. When the MEAS indicator stops flashing and a smiley face appears the measurement is complete.

General
Testing Abrasives
Care
ISO 11127-6: Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products. Test methods for non-metallic blast-cleaning abrasives. Part 6: Determination of water-soluble contaminants by conductivity measurement.
When you have finished using the Conductivity Meter, the Measuring Electrode should be rinsed in tap water and dried. Then place a small amount of Deionized Water in the Electrode and replace the sensor cap. Also ensure the Syringe is cleaned to remove any contamination.
The Bresle Test can also be used for testing non-metallic abrasives for water-soluble salts and corrosion products.
Patch Shelf Life
Record the conductivity of the Deionized Water using the same procedure under the section Taking Measurements.
The only degeneration on the Bresle Patches is the adhesive if exposed to extremes of temperature.
It is recommended that the Patches are used within a 12-month period from date of purchase.
Replacing Batteries To replace the batteries on the Conductivity Meter, slide off the sensor while lifting the catch located on the rear of the instrument. Replace with 2 lithium CR-2032 batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
Place 100gm of abrasive into a flask and add 100ml of the Deionized Water that you have recorded the conductivity of. Shake for 5 minutes and allow to stand for 1 hour. If the liquid does not clear, filter by any suitable method. Using the Syringe, withdraw approximately 1ml of contaminated water from the flask and place 3 to 4 droplets into the Measuring Electrode on the Conductivity Meter, ensuring that the contaminated water is in both sections of the Electrode with no air bubbles. Record the conductivity of the contaminated water displayed by the Meter when the smiley face appears.
Subtract the initial Deionized Water conductivity reading from the contaminated water conductivity reading. Record the results as shown in µS/cm.
