Atmosfär Chambers – Key Features

Atmosfar 1300L with Fridge
Atmosfär Chamber fitted with External Cooling Unit to either -20°C or -40°C

Atmosfär chambers have been specifically designed for fully automatic testing in accordance with highly demanding laboratory-accelerated corrosion tests which have become increasingly popular in some sectors of the automotive industry.

These tests are cyclic in nature and comprise of exposure under controlled and varying conditions of temperature and humidity, with intermittent spraying of a salt solution directly on to the samples under test, from a high level swaying spray bar.

Popular Atmosfar Test Standards:

Two model sizes:

  • 1300 Ltr (45.9 cu ft)
  • 2600 Ltr (91.8 cu ft)

Extensive optional testing facilities:

Extensive range of optional testing facilities, such as SO2 gas dosing and liquid immersion. – Click to see the optional accessories available

All Ascott Atmosfär Corrosion Test chambers feature:

  • Oscillating spray bar with magnetically coupled drive system, for compliance with the most demanding automotive test standards.
  • Integrated air conditioning unit, to achieve demanding temperature and humidity combinations.
  • Psychrometric humidity control module, for more exacting control of humidity, especially at levels around 95% RH.
  • An option of different cooling units from Ambient control (Lite Model) to sub zero at -20 or -40 degrees C. Water cooled options are also available for sub cooling units where room heat dissipation is an issue.

Plus the features of Ascott CCT corrosion test chambers:

  • Ergonomic design low loading threshold for easy loading and unloading.
  • ‘Easy Open’ pneumatically operated canopy.
  • Dry seal gasket prevents wetting operator’s clothes, etc.
