Programmable Salt Spray(Fog)Cabinets

The salt spray test is a standardized test method used to check corrosion resistance of coated samples. Coatings provide corrosion resistance to metallic parts made of steel, zamak or brass. Since coatings can provide a high corrosion resistance through the intended life of the part in use, it is necessary to check corrosion resistance by other means. Salt spray test is an accelerated corrosion test that produces a corrosive attack to the coated samples in order to predict its suitability in use as a protective finish. The appearance of corrosion products (oxides) is evaluated after a period of time. Test duration depends on the corrosion resistance of the coating; the more corrosion resistant the coating is, the longer the period in testing without showing signs of corrosion.

Salt spray testing is popular because it is cheap, quick, well standardized and reasonably repeatable. There is, however, only a weak correlation between the duration in salt spray test and the expected life of a coating (especially on hot dip galvanized steel where drying cycles are important for durability), since corrosion is a very complicated process and can be influenced by many external factors. Nevertheless, salt spray test is widely used in the industrial sector for the evaluation of corrosion resistance of finished surfaces or parts.

The apparatus for testing consists of a closed testing chamber, where a salted solution (mainly, a solution of 5% sodium chloride) is atomized by means of a nozzle. This produces a corrosive environment of dense saline fog in the chamber so that parts exposed in it are subjected to severely corrosive conditions.

Tests performed with a standardized 5% solution of NaCL are known as NSS (neutral salt spray). Results are represented generally as testing hours in NSS without appearance of corrosion products (e.g. 720 h in NSS according to ISO 9227). Other solutions are acetic acid (ASS test) and acetic acid with cooper chloride (CASS test), each one chosen for the evaluation of decorative coatings, such as electroplated copper-nickel-chromium, electroplated copper-nickel or anodized aluminium.

Some sources do not recommend to use ASS or CASS test cabinets interchangeably for NSS tests, as it is claimed that a thorough cleaning of the cabinet after ASS or CASS test is very difficult. ASTM does not address this issue, but ISO 9227 does not recommend it and if it is to be done, advocates a thorough cleaning.

           Biuged offer various Salt Spray Cabinets from 150L capacity to customized cabinets according to different requirements. All of cainets not only can run NSS test but also CASS or ASS test

Structure Feature

    Chamber
    Structure

Cabinets are made of imported 5mm PVC ploy plateNanya, Taiwan, max. durable temperature is 85

Cabinet sealing cover is made of European 6mm acrylic sheets

Salt solution reservoir equipped with water level is   designe in the chamber,easy to clean

Humidifying tower is made of SUS 304#, endurable high pressure and good thermal insulation effect.

Specimen supports designed specially ensure a adjustable position angle for each specimen in order to get a uniform fog and a big   specimen capacity.

Use water to seal working room, ensure the corrosion fog not to leak.

Electric system is separated from water system, avoid water to enter electric control box to damage accessories

There is a hole used to drain off fog at the back and bottom of chamber, its damater is 48mm, just used other pipe to connect this hole to drain off the fog from the working room

     Chamber
  Sealing Cover

V   shape , the top ange is 100º, prevent condensate water during the test from dropping to   specimen surface and affect testing results.

     Atomizing
        Tower

In order to ensure the working room to get uniform fog while   spraying, this chamber use a special structure glass nozzle to atomize salt solution   absolutely, then fog enter a subuliform tower installed in the working room   and spray to all working room uniformly.    The installation height of atomizing tower can be adjusted to control   spray fog amount precisely.   

Fog Collector

Fog collectors are tapered funnels whose diameter are 100mm   and installed in the working room.At the bottom of the funnel, there is a   silicone pipe which connect with graduated cylinder installed outside. These   graduated cylinders are used to monitor spray fog amount

      Heating
      System

For working room, heating tube is   made of titanium alloy, water vapour heat the working room under the control   of P.I.D

   Salt Solution
       Supply

The salt solution prepared well is stored in salt solution reservoir,   and flow into supplying container under the water level difference. This   supplying container is equipped with an automatic water leveling device which   can control automatically the max. water level to keep a certain distance   with spray nozzels.

   Humidifying
         Tower

Is made of SUS304# stainless steel, and its temperature can   be set from RT-63 and heating up time≤60 min, can add water   automatically.Water level is monitored and system would alarm once exceed set   level value.

    Principle

Use Bernouilli’s principle to absorb salt solution then   atomize it

Air Compressor→Oil-water Separatorfirst→Air Storage Tank→Relief Valve→Total Solenoid Valve→Oil-water   Separatorsecond→Saturator→Pressure Regulating Valve→Solenoid Valve for   spraying→Spray Nozzle

Spray Nozzle

made of special glass, can control fog amount and spraying   angle

        Spray
     Pressure

Spray pressure can be adjusted from 0.07MPa to 0.17 MPa, in   order to make sure the spray pressure generated from spray nozzle be within   the range of standard requirments,  it   is divided into two steps, adjust air pressure to 0.2MPa to 0.3 MPa as the   first step, then adjust to 0.07MPa to 0.17 MPa under the second step

    Drain away
         Fog

Can drain away fog by manual or set a program to do it.   Feed fresh compressed air to working room then drain away the fog of the   working room quickly

Electronic Control System
