Buying a corrosion test chamber is a significant investment, and selecting the correct model involves considerably more than simply choosing a chamber capacity. The right equipment should perform the test standards you require today while also giving your laboratory enough flexibility to support future testing programmes. Before purchasing a salt spray or cyclic corrosion test […]

Salt spray testing has been used by manufacturers for decades to evaluate the corrosion resistance of materials, coatings and components. Today, however, many industries also use cyclic corrosion testing, where specimens are exposed to a sequence of changing environmental conditions. So what is the difference between salt spray and cyclic corrosion testing — and when […]
