The metal industry has traditionally placed a high priority on a material’s ability to withstand corrosion, which is why salt spray testing is necessary. The durability of materials can be readily ensured by producers by testing metal or products related to it with Salt Spray Chamber Computerized is a state-of-the-art lab testing apparatus built by Effective Lab that makes it simple for metal manufacturers to do reliable salt spray tests on their materials.
This state-of-the-art salt spray test chamber provides a unique interactive environment that can synthesize salt spray with air drying and wetting/condensation for a thorough investigation of corrosion resistance, assisting the manufacturers in conducting accurate salt spray testing.
Manufacturers should make sure all operational safety alerts and criteria have been followed to the letter while conducting salt spray tests with this salt spray test machine.
We will talk briefly about the Effective Lab’s salt spray chamber— its extremely sophisticated features in this article. We will also briefly go over the safety measures that need to be followed when using this quality testing apparatus.
Make sure your product is resistant to corrosion by using a salt spray chamber.
An important stage in determining a material’s or coating’s corrosion resistance is salt spray testing. A standardized salt spray test protocol is followed in this process, which is carried out in a specialized salt spray test chamber.
You can evaluate your items’ resistance to the corrosive effects of salt and humidity by exposing them to a controlled environment of salt mist. Interpreting the findings of the salt spray test gives important information about how well the material works and how long it should last in actual use.

Precautions
To guarantee precise and trustworthy findings, quality testing requires the operation of a salt spray test chamber. The following safety measures need to be followed when using this equipment:
Appropriate Ventilation: To ensure a safe working environment and avoid the accumulation of corrosive vapours, make sure the testing area is properly vented.
High-quality salt solution: Carefully prepare the salt solution according to the suggested concentration and quality guidelines. Sodium chloride 5±1% weight by weight can be easily dissolved in 95% purified water or water with no more than 200 ppm total solids.
Make sure the salt is pure: Sodium chloride that is mostly free of nickel and copper and contains, on a dry basis, no more than 0.1% sodium iodide and no more than 0.3% of all impurities can be used. The solution’s pH should fall between 6.5 and 7.2.
Conditions: They should be continuously observed to make sure the test chamber’s humidity, temperature, and salt content stay within predetermined bounds.
Make sure that the salt solution from one sample does not spill over another sample by precisely fastening the canopy. To close the canopy, use the “Door close” button.
