Elcometer 134A Chloride Ion Test Kit for Abrasives

The Elcometer 134A is an ideal test kit for determining the chloride content of concrete - simply drill a hole into the concrete, collect the waste material and test in the same way.

The Elcometer 134A Chloride Ion Test Kit is a compact and field-ready solution designed to detect chloride contamination in abrasive blasting media. Contaminated abrasives can transfer salts to the substrate surface during blasting, potentially leading to premature coating failure due to corrosion, blistering, or adhesion loss.

This risk increases significantly when blast media is recycled multiple times, accumulating contaminants over successive cycles. The Elcometer 134A enables on-site identification of chloride presence, helping prevent costly surface preparation failures and unnecessary rework.

Each test involves extracting a chloride sample from the abrasive using a pre-measured solution in a mixing container. The result is read via a titration tube, allowing quick detection of contamination levels—critical for ensuring optimal coating performance.
