SALT SPRAY CHAMBER

ENVISYS TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD

BENGALURU, INDIA
 INTRODUCTION
ECS Series Salt Spray Chambers are manufactured by Envisys in different versions to meet the variety of testing
applications as per international standards viz., ASTM DIN GM JIS MIL etc…
Salt spray test is an accelerated corrosion test used to measure the comparative corrosion resistance of
materials exposed to a salt spray or salt fog at high temperature. This corrosion test is intended to provide
corrosion resistance information on metals and coated metals.

Standards of Compliance ASTM, DIN, GM, JIS, SAE, BIS etc.,

Note: In order to run the salt spray room temperature to be maintained 6° to 8° C lesser than set temperature.
 OPERATING PRICIPLE
The Cyclic corrosion test chamber is configured in four different test mode like Salt fog test, High
Humidity/ Wetting test, drying test and dwell test, Chamber is equipped with different control
system is mainly to control the Individual test modes in the chamber

Salt Spray mode: In this chamber will control mainly two parameters such as Chamber temperature and
Solution collection rate, collection rate is depending the saturated air pressure and salt solution flow
rate both are controllable in the chamber.

High Humidity/wetting mode: In this mode chamber will control the temperature and simulate High
Humidity in the chamber Range of the Humidity will be 95-100%

Drying mode: In this mode chamber will control the temperature up to 70°C and reduce the Humidity
in the chamber Range of the Humidity will be less than ambient

Dwell mode: In this mode chamber will be stand still condition all the parameters will be in off
condition.
 CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
INTRODUCTION: Salt Spray Chambers are designed for mono-block construction with
maintenance free sections. Made of highly corrosive resistant non-metallic glass-fibre
reinforced structures

Single Block design with easy access and maintenance free

sections.

Made of high corrosive resistant non-metallic glass – fibre

reinforced structure.

Internal test chamber and outer body is isolated using mineral

wool ensuring no air pockets and zero conduction and heat
losses.

The chamber shall be mounted on Heavy-duty castor wheels

and levelling pads ensuring easy erection & movement of the
system

Slotted angle rack for placing the test specimen at 15° to 20° C
degree angle as per standard

Easily accessible electrical / control panel board

compartments with doors for maintenance
User friendly control desk with automatic pneumatic guided
door opening.

Independent maintenance–free & easy–to-handle solution

reservoir tub with lid, handle and wheels for pre-mixing of
brine solution and chamber drain provision
 FUNCTIONAL SUB-SYSTEMS
NAME OF THE SUB-SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Spraying System
▪ Non-metallic acrylic material fine-fog
simulation atomizer will be provided

▪ Atomizer inlets will have salt-solution and

saturated air lines to generate the fine
saturated mist at saturated humidity
conditions

▪ Spraying mechanism will have saturated air-

pressure control and solutions flow-control
system to regulate the flow & pressure to
achieve the required fall-out rate as per the
prescribed standards

Humidity Generation (Saturator) System

▪ Non-metallic transparent acrylic saturated

tower will be used for producing the saturated
air

▪ Saturator will consist of High-density cartridge

immersion heater, water level control float,
over temperature safety sensor, temperature
control sensor, air-dispenser and water-make-
up port.

▪ Saturator will also have over-temperature

safety, low-water-level safety and in-let air-
pressure regulation system.

Salt Spray Heating System

▪ Low-density ceramic layer rope-heaters.

▪ Heaters will be bonded outside the Salt spray

tank with proper insulation.
