What Safety Precautions Should Be Taken While Operating a Salt Spray Chamber?

The corrosion resistance of metals has always been a paramount concern for the metal industry, and this is where the need for salt spray testing arises. By conducting salt spray tests on metal or its related products, manufacturers can easily ensure the durability of the materials. To make it easy for the metal manufacturers to conduct accurate salt spray tests, on the materials we at Presto have designed a highly advanced lab testing instrument known as Salt Spray Chamber - Korrox IV Magnus Series Computerized.

Test your product's durability against corrosion with a salt spray chamber

Precautions that needed to be taken while operating this quality testing equipment

• Proper Ventilation: Ensure that the testing area is adequately ventilated to prevent the buildup of corrosive fumes and to maintain a safe working environment.
• Quality Salt Solution: Prepare the salt solution with precision, following the recommended concentration and quality standards. You can easily dissolve 5±1% parts by weight of sodium chloride in 95% parts of distilled water or water containing not more than 200ppm of total solids.
• Ensure that salt is free from contaminants: The salt used can be sodium chloride substantially free of nickel and copper containing on a dry basis not more than 0.1% of sodium iodide and not more than 0.3% of total impurities. The pH of the solution needs to be in the range of 6.5 to 7.2.
• Monitor Conditions: Continuously monitor the test chamber's temperature, humidity, and salt concentration to ensure they remain within specified ranges.
• Secure the canopy accurately: Ensure that the salt solution from one sample does not drip on another sample. Push the "Door close" button to close the canopy.
