Salt Spray Chamber

Salt Spray Test Chamber

Effective Lab’s Salt Spray Chamber is designed to assess the corrosion resistance of coatings and metals, including paints, powder coatings, and platings like zinc, nickel, and chrome. Adhering to ASTM B117, ISO 9227, JIS Z 2371, and ASTM G85 standards, it creates a controlled, salty environment using a solution of 95% DM water and 5% NACL. Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials such as fibreglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) or stainless steel, it ensures durability and accurate, reliable testing results. Ideal for industries like automotive, aerospace, and marine, it provides essential insights into the longevity and performance of coatings and platings.

What is a Salt Spray Test Chamber?

A Salt Spray Test Chamber is a specialized piece of equipment used to simulate corrosion over a short period of time. The test involves spraying a fine mist of a salt solution onto the product, exposing it to conditions that mimic long-term exposure to saltwater or saline environments. The purpose of this testing is to assess how materials, especially metals and coatings, hold up against corrosion over time.

How does a salt spray chamber work?

Using the Corrosion Test Chamber is very simple, so even beginners can easily perform complex tests. Just follow these steps for the best results:

  • Preparation: Begin by preparing the test samples according to the specific requirements of your industry standards. Ensure they are clean and free from any contaminants.
  • Loading Samples: Carefully place the samples inside the chamber, ensuring they do not touch each other or the chamber walls to avoid cross-contamination.
  • Setting Parameters: Program the chamber with the required parameters such as temperature, humidity, and duration of the test. These parameters are crucial and should be set according to the standards you are adhering to.
  • Starting the Test: Initiate the test cycle. The chamber will spray a fine mist of salt solution, simulating a corrosive environment.
  • Monitoring: Regularly monitor the progress through the observation window or digital display. Ensure the chamber maintains consistent conditions throughout the test.
  • Post-Test Analysis: Once the test is complete, remove the samples and analyze them for signs of corrosion. Document the results for quality control and product development purposes.

The Salt Spray Chamber is the most reliable instrument for assessing the corrosion resistance of coatings, providing precise and consistent testing conditions. This instrument is designed to test the ability of products to withstand atmospheric conditions.
