SSM-200 Soluble salt meter
Soluble Salt Meter
A new inspection tool has been developed to replace the Bresle patch method for soluble salt determination. This Soluble Salt Meter, for which United States Patent No. 8,252,600 was issued on August 28 2012, was designed around the current Bresle patch salt inspection method. The SSM test protocol exactly duplicates the Bresle process, except that measurements are automated and there are no consumables (except distilled water). The complete test sequence requires only one minute. The SSM is approved as an authorized alternative to the Bresle patch method.

Ordering information
The SSM can be purchased in two versions: the “Lite” version which includes 50 measurements with the possibility to purchase additional measurements as and when required, and the “Unlimited” version which can take unlimited readings. The “Lite” version provides the possibility to reduce the initial purchase price of the SSM and to purchase additional rea- dings for specific projects. The “Lite” version can be upgraded to the “Unlimited” version by purchasing a licence.
