The TestEQ composite salt spray test chamber runs salt spray, high-humidity, drying and optional temperature phases in one programmable cabinet, so corrosion is driven through realistic wet-dry and salt-fog cycles rather than continuous spray alone. Cabinet models cover small to medium samples; walk-in models take oversized assemblies such as vehicle parts and battery enclosures.
Applications
- Automotive parts, fasteners, chassis components and coatings
- EV battery enclosures, connectors and terminals
- Aerospace structures and surface treatments
- Marine equipment and offshore structures
- Paints, coatings and metal finishing
- Electronics, connectors and plating
Configuration and features
- Cyclic corrosion: salt spray, humidity, drying and optional temperature variation in programmed multi-stage profiles.
- Test modes ACSS, SOAK, DRYAIR, HUMI and ROOMAIR on walk-in models.
- Continuous or programmable spray.
- Uniform salt fog distribution with a precision nozzle system.
- Corrosion-resistant structure for long-duration testing.
- Saline concentration 5 % NaCl, or 0.26 g CuCl₂·2H₂O added per litre of 5 % NaCl for CASS.
- Compressed air pressure 1.0 to 6.0 kgf.
- Spray volume 1.0–2.0 ml/80 cm²/h, averaged over at least 16 hours of working time.
- Optional SO₂ corrosion module, temperature cycling integration, remote monitoring and data logging, and acid-resistant materials for CASS.
