Salt corrosion testing reduces the risk of product failure in the field by simulating equipment's ability to withstand the effects of corrosion and to give a general indication of corrosion resistance.
Often the salt corrosion test specification requires either a drying phase or high humidity phase. These phases accelerate the corrosion effects and can promote corrosion which may not otherwise be seen.
The test is performed in a specialist salt fog chamber. The chamber atomises a salt water solution creating a fog and leaving salt deposits around the equipment under test. TÜV SÜD engineers carefully monitor the salt fog environment, ensuring that the correct salt density, pH, deposition rate and temperature are maintained.
We can provide manufacturers with the following testing services:
We provide testing for corrosion to many specifications including the following common standards:
Any test not on our UKAS scope which is within our capability can be added quickly through our flexible schedule, which is a rare privilege granted to us by our accrediting authority.
