Salt Spray Chamber – Precision Corrosion Testing with Pacorr

Delivering Precision in Corrosion Testing

In today’s highly competitive and quality-conscious industrial world, product durability and performance are key factors for success. Whether it’s automotive components, construction materials, electronics, or marine equipment—corrosion can cause serious damage, compromise safety, and lead to product failure. That’s why industries worldwide rely on accurate, accelerated corrosion testing systems such as the Salt Spray Chamber.

At Pacorr Testing Instruments, we offer high-performance Salt Spray Chamber that meet global testing standards and provide precise, repeatable results. With our cutting-edge technology, in-house manufacturing expertise, and industry-leading customer support, we help companies ensure the corrosion resistance of their products before they hit the market.

What is a Salt Spray Chamber?

A Salt Spray Chamber, also known as a Salt Fog Chamber, is a laboratory testing instrument designed to simulate corrosive environments. It exposes materials and coated samples to a continuous fine mist of salt (NaCl) solution, replicating the impact of long-term exposure to harsh atmospheric conditions in a condensed time frame.

The primary purpose of a Salt Spray Test is to assess the corrosion resistance of coatings, paints, metal surfaces, and surface treatments like galvanizing, plating, anodizing, and powder coating. The data obtained from salt spray testing helps manufacturers evaluate product durability, improve formulations, and comply with international quality and performance standards.

Why Salt Spray Testing is Crucial

Corrosion is one of the leading causes of material degradation in industrial products. Salt Spray Testing offers numerous benefits:

• Accelerated Results: Simulates years of environmental wear in just days or weeks.

• Predictive Data: Helps predict the lifespan of protective coatings and metal finishes.

• Standardized Testing: Follows global protocols like ASTM B117, ISO 9227, and JIS Z 2371.

• Quality Control: Ensures products meet industry-specific corrosion resistance requirements.

• Failure Prevention: Identifies potential weaknesses in coatings before full-scale production.

Industries such as automotive, defense, aerospace, marine, and consumer electronics use salt spray testing as a critical part of their quality assurance and R&D processes.

Key Features of Pacorr’s Salt Spray Chambers

At Pacorr.com, we engineer our Salt Spray Test Chamber with innovation, accuracy, and user-friendliness in mind. Our chambers are built to deliver consistent and reliable performance over extended testing durations.

1. Corrosion-Resistant Construction

Our chambers feature a high-grade FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) or PVC interior that resists corrosion, even under continuous exposure to salt fog and moisture.

2. Precise Control Systems

Each unit is equipped with a digital PID controller that ensures stable test conditions by maintaining accurate temperature, humidity, and spray flow. It also allows easy programming for long-duration tests.

3. Uniform Fog Distribution

An advanced atomizer nozzle and saturated air tower system ensure a consistent and uniform dispersion of salt fog throughout the chamber, which is critical for test reliability.

4. Multiple Chamber Sizes

Whether you’re running small-scale tests or high-volume industrial tests, Pacorr offers chambers in capacities ranging from 60 liters to over 1000 liters, with options for custom configurations.

5. Easy Sample Loading and Inspection

Chambers are ergonomically designed with transparent viewing windows, sample holders, and tilted racks, making it easy to load, inspect, and remove test specimens.

6. Optional Features

• pH monitoring and adjustment systems

• Automated cleaning and drainage

• Data logging and remote monitoring

• Cyclic corrosion testing (CCT) options

Applications Across Industries

Our Salt Spray Chambers are widely used in the following sectors:

Automotive Industry

Test components like bolts, fasteners, chassis parts, wheels, and painted panels for corrosion resistance. Essential for evaluating the durability of parts under exposure to road salt and moisture.

Aerospace & Defense

Assess the corrosion resistance of aircraft components, fuselage materials, and electronic enclosures designed to operate in high-humidity and saline atmospheres.

Marine Equipment

Evaluate the longevity of boat fittings, offshore structures, navigation instruments, and metallic components exposed to seawater and high salinity.

Construction & Infrastructure

Check the performance of galvanized steel, metal roofing, window frames, and outdoor structures. This helps determine if they can withstand long-term environmental exposure.

Consumer Electronics

Salt Spray Chambers are used to test casings, connectors, circuit boards, and devices that might be exposed to humid or saline environments.

Salt Spray Testing Standards We Follow

All our Salt Spray Chamber Price are built to comply with the following internationally recognized standards:

• ASTM B117 – Standard Practice for Operating Salt Spray (Fog) Apparatus

• ISO 9227 – Corrosion Tests in Artificial Atmospheres – Salt Spray Tests

• JIS Z 2371 – Japanese Standard for Salt Spray Corrosion Testing

• DIN 50021 – Salt Spray Testing for German Industrial Requirements

These standards ensure accuracy, repeatability, and global acceptance of test results.

How a Salt Spray Test Works

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Sample Preparation
   Clean and mount the test specimens inside the chamber at a fixed angle, typically between 15° and 30°.

2. Salt Solution
   A 5% sodium chloride solution is prepared using distilled water and is used for fog generation.

3. Atomization and Fog Generation
   The solution is sprayed using compressed air through a specialized nozzle, creating a fine, dense mist inside the chamber.

4. Testing Conditions
   The chamber maintains a constant temperature (usually 35°C ±1°C) and controlled humidity, replicating accelerated environmental exposure.

5. Duration
   Tests can range from 24 hours to over 1000 hours, depending on the standard and product being evaluated.

6. Evaluation
   After testing, samples are inspected for signs of corrosion such as rust, blistering, peeling, or other surface degradation.
