Corrosion Testing Instruments Model 608 Basic
Cyclic Tests
Varying Climatic Conditions
Automotive Standards
Operation via Siemens touch screen
Purpose and application
Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are attacked continuously by humidity, acids, solutions, gases etc.
It is therefore vitally important to choose the correct surface protection. There are many materials and qualities on the market and their properties must be properly assessed.
Materials intended to prevent corrosion must be tested if failures are to be avoided.
Furthermore the comparative quality control during production is of increasing importance.
The best known processes employ spray vapour tests using various salt solutions as well as condensation water climates.
Test principle
Aggressive solutions are turned into a vapour mist in accordance with the tests that are listed below.
These vapours surround the specimens in the test chamber either continuously or in a cyclic manner.
The corrosion resistance of the individual specimens is established on the basis of the difference in time before the first corrosive effects become apparent.
Accessories (optional)
• Additional Function “dry heat”
Extension of a test chamber in rectangular design with the function “dry heat” up to +70 °C
