Description
Erichsen Salt Spray Chambers
Corrosion Testing Equipment Model 606 -Basic
The compact Corrosion Testing Instrument in rectangular design, Model 606-Basic , to perform salt spray and condensation tests, is made of impact resistant, eco-friendly polypropylene material. It consists of a test chamber of 1000 l capacity, and a built-in control unit as well as an external storage tank for approx. 200 l salt solution. The control unit is equipped with the necessary control instruments. The large, transparent access door allows easy mounting of specimens, which may e.g. be hung from the delivered sample rods, to be exposed to aggressive salt spray for a certain period of time. A dosing pump serves for an infinitely variable adjustment to achieve optimum consumption of spray solution.
Purpose and application: Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are attacked continuously by humidity, acids, solutions, gases etc. It is therefore vitally important to choose the correct surface protection. There are many materials and qualities on the market and their properties must be properly assessed. Materials intended to prevent corrosion must be tested if failures are to be avoided. Furthermore the comparative quality control during production is of increasing importance. The best known processes employ spray vapour tests using various salt solutions as well as condensation water climates.
Test principle: Aggressive solutions are turned into a vapour mist in accordance with the tests that are listed below. These vapours surround the specimens in the test chamber either continuously or in a cyclic manner. The corrosion resistance of the individual specimens is established on the basis of the difference in time before the first corrosive effects become apparent.
