Salt Spray Test Chamber

A salt spray test chamber plays a crucial role in examining the corrosion resistance power of a metal material and finding out the strength of the surface coating or external layer. This instrument is prevalent in the real estate industry to assess the durability of materials, the strength of the stain, paint materials, and various external surface layers. With this instrument, we can examine whether a material can withstand the salty environment, marine environment, automotive industry, or any harsh environment or not.

 

This test chamber provides a great result to the manufacturing industry, quality control department, and researchers on how different metals behave differently in salt-laden environments, marine environments, etc.

 

Components of salt-spray test chamber:

This instrument is made according to the ASTM B 117 system. It has an FRP double wall, PU painted outer surface with a salt surface, water reservoir system with a humidifier. Automated water level restoring system and, temperature-controlled heat-making system are present in the equipment. The main fog spraying nozzle is crucial to spray water. To maintain pressure balance in the sprayer nozzle, there is a pressure regulator and gauze.

 

Digital time totalizer, and temperature-controlling PH indicators are provided within the salt-spray test chamber to maintain balance within the instrument. A Dome is lifting the lifting-controlling system and sample holder. Sometimes there are low air pressure indicating buzzer along with an auto-filled humidifier tank. ASTM 117-based coating system, pipe steel, and laboratory equipment are important parts of the salt-spray test chamber.

 

Salt-spray chamber packaging system:

Within the packaging of the salt-spray chamber, there is a salt-spray cabinet, funnel, measuring cylinder, hose clamp, guidebook, or manual calibration certificate.

 

Parts required to perform salt-spray tests:

Sodium-chloride salts

MS panels

Distilled water

X-Cut corrosion test knife or stencils

Wax or gum tape for masking the material

Compressor

How does a salt spray chamber work?

The salt-spray chamber is composed of a humidifier tank. It sprays the NaCl (Sodium chloride) solutions to the testing materials and its reaction is assessed in the artificial marine or salty environment. To ensure reproducibility and persistence in the marine environment, a specific testing environment is created within the salt-spray chamber.

 

Test samples are prepared very carefully before introducing them to the salt-spray chamber. The duration of the examination varies according to the material and industry-specific standard rules. After completion of all steps, test samples are exposed in the salt-spray chamber with complete monitoring of the internal air pressure or others of the chamber. All the changes after the salt spray like rust, blistering, etc are recorded as the reaction of the salt spray. From such reactions, all the changes are utilized to assess the strength of metallic samples in marine environments or other natural and artificial environments.

 

Such tests provide us with complete information regarding corrosion resistance power and, the effectiveness of the external coating, making complete information regarding the quality or design of the products with its further improvisation.
