1 OVERVIEW
Incorporating a flat sensor, the Elcometer 138 Bresle Salt Meter has been designed primarily for use in
accordance with ISO 8502-6 / ISO8502-9. It measures the conductivity of the sample but displays the surface
density of salts. The measured conductivity is converted to surface density of salts using the ISO Salt Mix or
a
IMO PSPC equivalent NaCI conversion factors below, dependent on the measurement mode selected, based
2
on an area of 12.5cm and a sample volume of 3ml.
For detailed information on taking measurements in accordance with ISO 8502-6 /ISO8502-9, please refer to the
user guides for the Elcometer 138 Bresle Salt Kits.

Note: The Elcometer 138 Bresle Salt Meter measures aqueous solutions. The meter is NOT designed to measure solids, organic
solvents, surfactant, oil, adhesive, alcohol, strong acids (pH: 0 to 2) or strong alkalis (pH: 12 to 14). The life of the sensor
will be extremely short if these substances are measured.
