The SSC Series salt spray corrosion test chambers are systems designed to perform accelerated corrosion testing on materials, coatings, components and products intended for industrial and research applications.
The SSC Series makes it possible to reproduce the action of salt spray in a controlled and repeatable way, allowing the corrosion resistance of treated surfaces and materials exposed to aggressive environments to be evaluated. The chambers are developed to perform tests in accordance with major international standards, including ASTM B117, ISO 9227, DIN 50021 and JIS Z 2371.
SSC configurations are used in numerous sectors, including automotive, aerospace, railway, surface treatments, paints and coatings, industrial components and metallic materials, for development, qualification, validation and quality-control activities.
The system integrates temperature management, salt-solution atomization and control of the main process parameters, allowing reliable and continuous test cycles to be performed even under intensive operating conditions.
They are designed to provide:
- controlled simulation of corrosive saline atmospheres;
- accelerated corrosion testing;
- high spray uniformity;
- precise control of test temperature;
- extreme humidity conditions up to saturation;
- repeatability and stability of the test cycle;
- suitability for testing according to international standards;
- acquisition and control of the main process parameters;
- configurations dedicated to different types of samples;
- continuous operation for laboratory testing and industrial validation activities.
