WHY EQUILAM NA - Cyclic Corrosion Test CORR Auto

Our Salt Spray chambers are constructed both internally and externally from reinforced plastic (US PATENT 10371623), meaning there are no metallic components inside the chamber. This ensures that no galvanic corrosion occurs and that final test results remain accurate and reliable.

The test chamber is heated indirectly through a heated air jacket that surrounds the entire chamber, providing excellent temperature stability and uniformity, ensuring consistently accurate and reproducible test results. (US PATENT 10371623)

 

 

100-Degree Angled Lid:
Made of high-strength plastic resistant to scratching by salt crystals.
(Acrylic can be scratched by salt crystals, which may cause dripping onto the samples—an undesirable condition.)
If the user requires visibility of the samples, it is important to note that direct observation during the test is not possible.
Our solution is the inclusion of side windows in the lid, which avoids dripping onto the specimens.

 

 

A minimum test chamber volume of 1000 liters is recommended (excluding the volume of the lid). Smaller chamber volumes can cause turbulence, which may distort the final test results.

Walk-in chambers are generally constructed with a sloped roof angled between 90 and 125 degrees. Properly positioned and directed spray nozzles help prevent accumulation and dripping on the ceiling. Nozzles can be located on the ceiling or on the floor, angled upward at 30° to 60° over a walkway. The number of nozzles depends on the type and capacity of the system and is related to the test space area. Small solution reservoirs are required inside the chamber, with controlled levels.

The main characteristics of a walk-in type chamber, which significantly differ from a standard laboratory model, include:

 

  • Electrical panel with UL label, splash and dust protection.
  • Bubble Tower (Air Saturator Tower or Humidifying Tower) made of stainless steel
  • All electrical components with UL label
  • Emergency stop switch for instant shutdowns to prevent accidents
  •  Lock-type switch that allows safe shutdowns for preventive or corrective maintenance
  • Safety relay, which cuts power to the electrical circuits upon detecting faults or accident risks
  • LED signal panel with industrial-grade colored indicators providing visual and audible signals to show machine status and process stages
  • Solution level, deionized water in the Saturator Tower, and water jacket levels are located at the front of the chamber and are easily visible to the operator. In addition, electronic safety level sensors are included.
