Atmospheric Corrosion Test Chamber

Testing facility for artificially aging materials under simulated environmental conditions such as salt spray or condensing humidity cycles, used for comparative corrosion protection verification.

Salt spray or condensation testing in the chamber shows you how quickly a material starts to rust under harsh conditions. The result helps you compare materials and decide whether the protective coating or base material is suitable for the application. Make sure the chamber is clean and the specimens are properly prepared, otherwise you'll skew the result. Set the duration and cycles according to the specification, then you'll get a meaningful picture.
