The materials that are exposed to the environment and are utilized in the production of commodities that are also in contact with nature are highly prone to catch natural element reactions like corrosion & rusting. Corrosion & rusting are elements that hamper the life cycle of the entire product and spread across the materials and thus compromise the quality of the products.
To avoid such degradation manufacturers take major steps like layering with anti-corrosive paints over metals, rusting-repellants, etc. These coatings and layerings may assure a certain level of resistance against corrosion but cannot fully ensure so as the products that are made out of these materials are automotive, aeronautical instruments, medical tools, electronic devices, etc. Such products are exposed to extreme weathering conditions at all times and thus catch up to corrosion and rust after a certain point of time when the layerings & coatings fade away.
Therefore, it becomes highly crucial for manufacturers to assess & evaluate the quality of the material being utilized and measure its corrosion resistance under extremely humid or corrosion-friendly environments.
To aid manufacturers in measuring the corrosion resistance of these materials that are being utilized in the ultimate production process, the Presto Group has a revolutionary environment simulator called the salt spray chamber.
The instrument has absolutely transformed the environment simulation process as it performs testing with utmost precision and imitates accurate weathering conditions that help the operator evaluate the true corrosion resistance of a material.
Functioning the Revolutionary Salt Spray Chamber
The salt spray test chamber is equipped with the most futuristic working mechanism that allows the operator to accommodate a lot of equipment in a single device with seamless functioning & operation.
To conduct the salt spray test, the operator has to assess & evaluate the specimen first and then install the suitable specimen fixture inside the testing chamber of the instrument.
The operator can adjust the specimen in three different fixtures i.e. the v-bar, the sample hanging rod, and the cardholder fixture. The operator can also choose to remove all the fixtures and place the sample in case of bigger-sized material testing.
Before positioning the specimen inside the inner chamber where the fog concentration will take place, the operator must make sure to condition the specimen by necessary measures like masking, filtration, cleaning, and elimination of unwanted bacteria & microorganisms for an even precise test result.
Once the sample is properly conditioned and placed inside the testing chamber, the operator can close the canopy in order to attain maximum insulation inside the testing chamber. The operator can adjust the test timings, the temperature of the heaters, the humidity levels, and thus the entire fog concentration with the assistance of the control panel that is equipped with touch-sensitive, capacitive buttons & rotary switch.
The working of the reservoir tank is an extremely crucial part of the salt spray test as the reservoir tank carries demineralized water which is filtered by a layer sponge filter to eliminate all the unnecessary minerals & bacteria. The DM water is mixed with a salt combination that is mixed in the ratio of 95% DM water & 5% salt content which is ported to the inner chamber with the help of PU pipes and connected with an inlet port that opens up inside the inner chamber.
The salt spray chamber manufacturer has installed an air saturator with the instrument as well that humidifies and elevates the temperature of air through a process of bubbling. This air is also transported to the inner chamber with the help of the PU pipes that are connected to an inlet port.
Both the inlet ports of the salt spray test chamber are equipped with a fog concentrator that is an amalgamation of an atomizer and a fog dispenser. The atomizer is made with igus material that enhances the durability of the instrument and enhances the quality of the inner chamber as a whole. The fog dispenser associated with the top of the atomizer ensures uniform spread of the concentrated fog across the testing chamber and around the specimen for precise testing.
The fog is generated with the help of silicone-based heaters integrated into the walls of the inner chamber in a U-type formation.
Once the testing time adjusted on the preset timer of the instrument is achieved, the instrument automatically shuts down the supply of humidified air as well as the solution from the reservoir tank.
The operator can now use the air purge to settle down the fog in the inner chamber before opening the canopy in order to avoid the interaction of the inner climate with the external environment. The operator can assess the specimen after the completion of the test.
Top-Quality Materials Used for the Construction of the Salt Spray Chamber
The instrument is widely trusted by manufacturers across the globe due to the high-end materials used for the designing & structuring of the instrument by the salt spray chamber manufacturer.
The insulation of the inner chamber is foremost as the inner chamber is equipped with a triple-layered integration with mild steel for durability, glass wool for storing heat, and FRP material as layering over other materials to safeguard the instrument from rusting.
The canopy of the inner chamber is also equipped with a plexiglass built that allows the operator to keep a check on the concentrated fog during the conduction of the test.
A sponge filter made out of high-quality sponge and sensors is also utilized in the reservoir tank for enhanced filtration with high-quality material.
