Reusable Bresle Salt Test Patch
Model No. :
Brand : Defelsko
The PosiPatch is an innovative, reusable test patch designed for the quantitative measurement of soluble salt contamination on steel surfaces, adhering strictly to the ISO 8502-6/9 Bresle Method. Unlike disposable adhesive patches, the PosiPatch utilizes a magnetic ring system for attachment, eliminating adhesive residue and significantly lowering the cost per test over its lifespan. Its unique design ensures a secure, leak-free environment for sample extraction on both flat and curved metal substrates.
- Reusable magnetic patch eliminates adhesive waste
- Delivers the lowest cost per test available
- Complies fully with ISO 8502-6/9 Bresle Method
− Features
- Reusable Design: The patented PosiPatch can be cleaned and reused multiple times, drastically reducing consumables expenditure and yielding the lowest per-test cost among commercially available Bresle patches.
- Magnetic Ring Attachment: Uses a Standard or Flexible magnetic ring to secure the patch to the steel surface, ensuring a watertight seal without leaving any messy adhesive residue behind.
- Air Permeable Membrane: Features a unique, watertight, but air-permeable membrane that automatically facilitates the removal of trapped air during injection, simplifying the testing process.
- Needle-Free Operation: Designed with a safe, flexible dispensing tip that mates securely with the patch, eliminating the need for sharp needles during the water injection and retrieval process.
- Versatile Surface Adaptation: Available with a Standard magnetic ring for flat surfaces (diameters>1 m) and a Flexible magnetic ring for curved surfaces (ID/OD>10 cm), ensuring a tight seal on complex geometry.
- Multi-Orientation Use: The secure magnetic seal allows for reliable testing in any orientation, including vertical and inverted surfaces, improving field flexibility.

Soluble Salt Tester - Measuring the concentration on metal surfaces
+ FAQs
How many times can a PosiPatch typically be reused?
The PosiPatch can be reused multiple times until the seal fails. The manufacturer conservatively estimates a lifespan of at least 10 uses, though tests on freshly blasted steel have shown they can be reused dozens of times, resulting in the lowest cost-per-test.
Does the PosiPatch leave any adhesive residue on the surface?
No. The PosiPatch uses a magnetic ring (Standard or Flexible) to attach to the steel substrate, completely eliminating the adhesive and the need for subsequent cleanup.
Can the PosiPatch be used on rough surfaces, such as blast-cleaned steel?
Yes. The flexible material of the PosiPatch is specifically designed to conform to and maintain a watertight seal on typical rough surfaces, including those with a profile of 50–100 microns (2–4 mils).
Is the PosiPatch compatible with non-PosiTector conductivity meters?
Yes. The PosiPatch is available in Starter Kits that include the necessary syringes and dispensing tips, allowing them to be used with any existing conductivity meter that implements the ISO 8502-6 Bresle Method.
How do I select the correct magnetic ring for my test surface?
The Standard Magnetic Ring is used for flat surfaces and large diameters (pipe diameter>1 m). The Flexible Magnetic Ring is required for small-radius curved surfaces like pipes, with diameters greater than 10 cm (4 inches) on the OD or 12 cm (4.5 inches) on the ID.
