The CH and VCK Series corrosion test chambers for humid and sulphurous atmospheres are systems designed to evaluate the resistance of materials, coatings and components under corrosive environmental conditions, reproducing atmospheres characterized by high humidity and, in dedicated configurations, by the presence of sulphur dioxide (SO₂).
The CH Series is dedicated to humid atmosphere testing and to evaluating material behaviour under condensation and saturated humidity conditions, while the VCK Series is developed for Kesternich testing in atmospheres containing SO₂.
The chambers make it possible to reproduce, in a controlled and repeatable way, conditions representative of industrial, urban and highly corrosive environments, allowing the durability of materials and the effectiveness of surface treatments to be assessed.
They are designed for qualification, validation and quality-control activities in the automotive, construction, aerospace, surface treatment, protective coating and industrial component sectors.
They are designed to provide:
- precise temperature control;
- high-humidity conditions up to saturation;
- humid atmosphere testing;
- Kesternich testing according to configuration;
- controlled generation of SO₂-containing atmospheres;
- high resistance of materials exposed to corrosive environments;
- stable and repeatable test conditions;
- control and monitoring of the main process parameters;
- continuous operation for qualification and validation activities;
- configurations dedicated to sample characteristics and test methodology.
