“ERICHSEN” Germany Salt Spray Corrosion Chamber
Model : 606-Basic
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.

Design
The new compact Corrosion Testing Instrument,Model 606-Basic, to perform salt spray and condensation tests, is made of impact resistant, ecofriendly polypropylene material and is delivered in a rectangular design. It consists of a test chamber, available either of 400 l or 1000 l capacity, and a built-in control unit. The control unit is equipped with a storage tank for the spray solution as well as the necessary control instruments. The test chamber can be opened manually. A dosing pump serves for an infinitely variable adjustment to achieve optimum consumption of spray solution. The storage tank for approx. 125 l salt solution allows continuous testing without attention over a period of up to a week.
Control Instruments The scope of supply of each test chamber includes three specimen holders for weathering panels.
