Are You Using the Salt Spray Test Chamber Correctly?

Source:LINPIN Time:2025-04-02 Category:Industry News

As a testing device that simulates atmospheric corrosion environments, the salt spray test chamber, like other equipment, requires operators to follow specific procedures to ensure smooth and accurate testing, personnel safety, equipment protection, and extended service life.

The salt spray test chamber uses water for sealing. Before testing, an appropriate amount of purified or distilled water must be added to the water tank on top of the chamber. The heating water tank and air saturator should also be filled in time to prevent damage to components during operation.

Before testing, check whether the spray nozzle’s water pipe, exhaust pipe, and air supply pipe are properly connected. Ensure the salt solution and air supply are functioning normally, the mist is discharged smoothly without leaks, and the test results are optimal.

When placing samples, maintain a certain distance between the samples and the inner walls of the chamber. Different samples should also be spaced apart to ensure uniform distribution, with the tested area covering at least 98%.

The salt spray test chamber should not be interrupted during operation. If it is necessary to observe, record, or add test solutions, the test can be briefly paused. Since the saltwater solution or acidic saltwater solution used in testing is highly concentrated and corrosive, operators must take protective measures—especially for exposed areas like hands and face—before opening the chamber door to avoid harm from salt spray.

For the same test, it is best to use the same type of samples or samples with the same testing cycle. Different materials have varying corrosion resistance, and if tested together, some samples may already show corrosion and require test termination, while others remain unaffected, making it impossible to achieve synchronized results.

The above are the key points for using a salt spray test chamber. Before operation, carefully read the instruction manual and fully understand every detail to maximize the equipment’s effectiveness.

Salt-spray corrosion testing is the primary accelerated method for validating the corrosion resistance of materials and their protective coatings. Whether a chamber can continuously generate neutral (NSS), acetic-acid (AASS) or copper-accelerated acetic-acid (CASS) salt fog for 48 h–1 000 h determines the repeatability and reproducibility of the test.
Calibrating the temperature of a constant temperature and humidity test chamber is a preparatory task before testing. So, how can you ensure proper calibration of the test equipment? Only after adjusting the temperature of the chamber can testing proceed normally.
The performance indicators of a high and low temperature test chamber are crucial because they directly affect the reliability of test results, the breadth of application scenarios, and the effectiveness of quality assurance for products.
Frost formation in a thermal shock test chamber is a sublimation phenomenon where moisture inside the chamber condenses under low-temperature conditions. But why does this happen? Is it simply because the chamber temperature is too low?
In the components of high and low temperature test chambers, separators are essential.
