What is a Salt Spray Chamber?

A Salt Spray Chamber is a controlled environment designed to accelerate the corrosion process by exposing samples to a fine mist of salt solution. This testing simulates years of environmental exposure in a matter of hours or days. The chambers are equipped with automated controls to regulate temperature, humidity, and salt concentration, providing standardized testing conditions.

How Does a Salt Spray Chamber Work?

  • Preparation of Test Samples: Samples are cleaned and mounted inside the chamber on specialized racks.
  • Preparation of Salt Solution: A saline solution, typically sodium chloride (NaCl), is prepared according to specific test standards like ASTM B117.
  • Spraying Mechanism: The saline solution is atomized using compressed air, creating a fine mist that is uniformly sprayed inside the chamber.
  • Controlled Environment: The chamber maintains a constant temperature (usually around 35°C) and humidity level.
  • Test Duration: Depending on the material and testing requirements, the exposure period can range from a few hours to several weeks.
