How Does a Salt Spray Chamber Work? Working Principle | Application

The salt spray chamber, sometimes referred to as a salt fog test chamber, is essential test equipment used in various fields to evaluate the capability of paint, coatings, and other material surface treatments to withstand the corrosive effect. They test the tolerance of materials to corrosion by simulating extreme humid weather conditions. Let's examine the applications, processes, and importance of this equipment. Procedure for Salt Spray Testing The purpose of the salt spray test method is to accelerate rust in a controlled environment. How it works: Preparation: T o ensure accurate results, test specimens are cleaned and prepared to avoid any contamination that may affect the testing. Before testing, the coating thickness of the sample is measured. Positioning: To ensure uniform exposure to the salt solution, the specimens are distributed in the chamber at a particular angle. Saline Solution: A specific salt solution is prepared with clean water and 5% sodium chloride...
