Page 10: Obtaining A Concrete Sample
Safety Obtaining a Concrete Sample Locate the position and depth of any reinforcement bars using a James® Rebar Locator. When drilling for a concrete sample, attention should be paid to avoid the reinforcement bars found. With the clamping pliers (fig.4), mark the surface location for the bolt-hole in the pliers’... - Page 11 Maintenance It is advisable to select at least three test locations, and drill ¼ inch down for a concrete sample. This will produce approximately 20 grams of dust, which is a common sample size. To produce a chloride profile through a concrete slab, it is advisable to drill at three different levels.

Page 12: Tips For Successful Chloride Testing
Safety Tips for Successful Chloride Testing Exert only moderate pressure on the drill when drilling for the sample dust. This keeps the dust particles fine, and ensures they will dissolve easily in the extraction liquid. Do not test wet dust, or the water weight will be included in the CL calculations. -
Page 13: Preparation Of Electrode For Calibration
Maintenance Note: Although the electrode can be used at temperatures ranging from 0 – 60 deg. C, when used at temperatures substantially different than room temperature (or ~ 72 deg. F / 22 deg. C), the user should allow for an equilibrium time period. At the extremes of this temperature range, a time frame of one hour is recommended. -

Safety Maintenance General Maintenance ● A ‘Low battery’ indication on the display indicates a battery change is needed. Replace batteries with two fresh “AA” size batteries. ● To remove scratches from electrode tip, cut off a 1 inch length of polishing strip. Hold the electrode with the membrane facing upwards and place a few drops of distilled water on the membrane surface. -
Page 19: Electrode Disassembly And Cleaning
Maintenance Electrode Disassembly and Cleaning Disassembly of the electrode is not normally required. Yet, if the area between the electrode sleeve and the inner electrode tip has become clogged with sample or impurity buildup, the interior reference chamber should be cleaned out and flushed with distilled water. -
