  • Larger Plastic Rinse Bottle (1)

Instructions

  1. Place the PosiPatch in the flex ring with the arrows of the Patch lined up with the arrows on the flex ring. The side of the Patch with holes around it should face up when magnets are facing down, and vice versa.
  2. Make sure Patch is cleaned by rinsing with Deionized (DI) water. You can use the water packaged with the kit or use bottled DI water from the store. (NOTE: Distilled, Demineralized and Deionized water are all acceptable).
  3. Select a cleaned area of metal. Make sure all spent abrasive, dust, and other debris have been removed. Note: old pitted steel may not give a good seal.
  4. Attach flex tube to end of syringe. If syringe is not new, rinse with DI water.
  5. From the small plastic sample vial, put 2.5 to 3 ml of DI water into the syringe and carefully insert the syringe to avoid bending the flex tube. Inject the water it into the PosiPatch. (NOTE: there will still be approximately 10ml of water left in the vial).  Leave the needle in the Patch and gently massage the Patch for about 30 seconds.  Over the next 3 minutes remove the water from the Patch and reinject it into the Patch 2 to 3 times, repeating the massage process.
  6. At the end of 3 minutes remove the water from the Patch and inject the water back into the same small sample vial the water was removed from. Place the vial in the wooden sample holder to ensure it is stable and will not fall over when titrator testing tube is inserted.
  7. Use the hole in the vial holder to break off both ends of the sample tube. Insert the tube into the vial with the arrow facing up. Water will slowly wick up the tube on its own.  When the sample reaches to the upper limit of cotton filling, remove the vial and read the scale. The color above the blue line changes from pink to white to indicate chlorides: the extent of white color above the blue line indicates the chloride level. If the stained layer is blurred, oblique, or otherwise unclear, read the scale at the center between the maximum and minimum range of the limit of stain.
  8. NOTE: The titrator tube reads in ppm. The units to report for the chloride ion test are μg/cm2. Because of the ratio of water in the sample vial to the area of steel sampled, this is the same as ppm for the purposes of this test. (This is because there is an equal number of millileters in the sampel vial  as cm2 under the PosiPatch).
  9. Rinse Patch with DI water and repeat as often as needed. The Patch is good until the seal begins to leak.
  10. If test indicates chloride levels beyond acceptable limits, use HoldTight 102 to remove soluble salts.

Kitagawa Chloride Ion Titrator Tubes

Measuring Range:             1-60 ppm
Sampling time:                    1.5-2 minutes
Color change                       Pink to White
Detectable Limit                0.5 ppm
Storage Condition:            In a cool, dark place, not exceeding 25˚ C (77˚ F)

CORRECTION FOR AMBIENT CONDITIONS:
No temperature correction is necessary

INTERFERENCES:

Coexistence of Bromide, Cyanide, or Iodide ion with Chloride will give a higher reading.  Sulfide ion produces a brown stain in the bottom of reagent (pink) layer and gives higher readings.  The pH values of test sample should be within 2.0 and 12.0.

CHEMICAL REACTION IN THE DETECTOR TUBE:
Cl– + Ag2CrO4 -> AgCl

CAUTION:
Keep detector tubes out of reach of children and tubes should be discarded in accordance with relevant regulations.

USER RESPONSIBILITY:

For accurate results, all components of this kit must be used in accordance with the instructions provided.

Dispose of tubes according to relevant regulations, if any.

The user is solely responsible for ensuring that the equipment is operated, maintained and used in strict accordance with these instructions.  Do not use titration tubes beyond their expiration date or that have a color different than referred to here.  The manufacturer and manufacturer’s distributor shall not be otherwise liable for any incorrect measurement or any damages, whether damages result from negligence or otherwise.

This test complies with SSPC Guide 15 and the new Proposed ISO 8502-15

SaltProof Standard Kit

Contents

  • Bresle Patch (5)
  • Chloride Titrator Tubes (5)
  • Syringes (5)
  • Plastic Sample Vials with DI water (2)
  • Wooden Sample Vial Holder (1)

Instructions

NOTE: This test only checks for the Chloride Ion and does not check for total salts or any specific chloride salt. The absence of Chlorides does not mean the surface is free of salts. This test complies with SSPC Guide 15 and the new Proposed ISO 8502-15 It is not recommended as a replacement for ISO 8502-6 or ISO 8502-9 however, it can be used with a Microcell conductivity meter to comply with these methods.

The Posipatch will work on all ferrous surfaces to a diameter down to about 3 inches. For all other substrates you can use a Bresle Patch along with a metal tipped needle.

  1. Without touching the bottom part of the patch, remove the center ring and the adhesive protective strip from the Bresle Patch.
  2. Select a cleaned area of metal. Make sure all spent abrasive, dust and other debris have been removed. Apply the patch firmly to the surface of the steel. Note: OLD PITTED STEEL MAY NOT GIVE A GOOD SEAL.
  3. Open the syringe being careful not to prick yourself. Insert the needle into the seal of the Bresle patch being careful not to poke a hole in the center area. Pull back on the syringe and it should remove the air from the patch. If it does not, you do not have a good seal.
  4. From the small plastic bottles, put 2.5-3 ml of Di water into the syringe and inject it into the Bresle Patch. (NOTE: there will be approximately 10 ml of water left in the bottles). Leave the needle in the patch and gently massage the patch for about 30 seconds. Over the next 3 minutes remove the water from the patch and re-inject it into the patch 2-3 times.
  5. At the end of 3 minutes put the water back into the same small sample vial the water was removed from. Make sure it is secure so it will not fall over when the sample tube is inserted. (Note:There is a wooden spoon sample holder to keep the bottles from falling over.)
  6. Use the hole in the bottle holder to break  off both ends of the sample tube. Insert the tube into the vial with the arrow facing up. When the sample reaches to the upper plug remove the vial and read the scale to the maximum of the stained layer. (Brown to pale yellow)
  7. The Kitagawa tube reads in ppm. The volume of the patch with the volume of water equates to a reading in μS/cm² of chloride ion on the substrate. Do not report it as ppm as this is not the correct units.
  8. Dispose the patch. The syringe can be reused if rinsed well with Di/Distilled water.

NOTE: This is an Ion specific test and does not indicate the amount of salts present on the surface. Report as “Chloride” and not as “salts” or “total Salts”. To determine total salts the solution can be used with a conductivity meter.Total salts reported as “NaCi” is equal to the μS/cm divide by 10 and reported as μS/cm² Sodium Chloride.
