Elmer Wallace Ferroxyl Test Kit for Free Iron on Stainless Steel

The Ferroxyl Test Kit is a highly sensitive testing method for detecting iron contamination on stainless steel surfaces, as outlined in ASTM A 380-13 section 7.3.4. It is used to check for the absence of iron residues rather than to confirm the presence of a passive layer, and is intended for use by skilled personnel familiar with its limitations and hazards. Results require careful interpretation, as the test produces visual pass and fail indicators.
