Salt Spray Apparatus

Kiran Test & Measure Pvt Ltd offers a Salt Spray Apparatus, Model KE-07. Salt spray test is a standardised test method used to check corrosion resistance of coated samples. Coatings provide corrosion resistance to metallic parts made of steel, zamak or brass. Since coatings can provide a high corrosion resistance through the intended life of the part in use, it is necessary to check corrosion resistance by other means. Salt spray test is an accelerated corrosion test that produces a corrosive attack to the coated samples in order to predict its suitability in use as a protective finish. The appearance of corrosion products (oxides) is evaluated after a period of time. Test duration depends of the corrosion resistance of the coating; the more corrosion resistant the coating is, the longer the period in testing without showing signs of corrosion. There is no correlation between the duration in salt spray test and the expected life of a coating, since corrosion is a very complicated process and can be influenced by many external factors. Nevertheless, salt spray test is widely used in the industrial sector for the evaluation of corrosion resistance of finished surfaces or parts. The company has designed the salt spray apparatus as per ASTM B 117 and ISO 9227. These standards describe the necessary information to carry out this test. The company also offers Hull Cell Testing Rectifier, SMPS Based, Digital pH Meter, Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge, Indirect Plating Thickness Tester, Digital Coating Thickness Gauge, etc.
