The latest cyclic corrosion test standards have pushed technology well beyond the traditional salt spray and wet/dry cyclic tests.
These latest standards have improved the repeatability and reproducibility of the technology while accurately replicating many of the corrosion mechanisms that cost hundreds of billions of euros in damage to global infrastructure and vehicles each year.
It has long been known that continuous salt spray tests are useful for quality control applications but do not accurately replicate corrosion that is seen in the natural environment.
Wet/dry cyclic tests improved this problem, but at the cost of test repeatability and reproducibility. Today’s standards are written to achieve good reproducibility and better replication of real-life corrosion.
The Q-FOG CRH Cyclic corrosion chamber is the world’s first chamber to offer state of the art capabilities at a price that’s affordable for almost any laboratory.
Some of its Key Features are:
• Accurate control of chamber relative humidity from dry conditions to 100% to meet the most stringent test standards,
• Controlled transitions of temperature and humidity between test phases for the best possible test repeatability,
• Easy switching between atomized salt fog and direct spray for maximum test versatility,
• Self-cleaning nozzle system to significantly reduce system maintenance,
• Easily accessed electrical and mechanical systems to reduce maintenance cost and complexity,
• Precise control of salt spray volume for reliable corrosion coupon mass loss,
• Air chilling and dehumidification to maintain proper chamber conditions even if your lab conditions fluctuate,
• Backing by the world’s best support network to ensure reliable testing throughout your entire supply chain and customer base.
