Front loading chambers – compact design

Ultra Compact Front loading Test Chambers 

Maximum Performance with a Minimal Footprint

The Ascott Ultra Compact range gives customers professional salt spray and cyclic corrosion testing capability in a smaller, front-loading format.

Available in 300-litre and 400-litre capacities, the range is designed for laboratories with limited floor space, customers testing smaller components and organisations that do not require the capacity of a conventional large corrosion test chamber.

Choose from Standard Salt Spray, Premium Salt Spray or advanced Cyclic Corrosion Test configurations, depending on the test standards, climates and level of programming required.

The Ultra compact range of front loading corrosion chambers are available in three model specifications:

S300IS / S400IS

Standard Salt Spray – For continuous salt spray testing, including ASTM B117, ISO 9227 and JIS Z 2371, with support for NSS, ASS and CASS solutions.

S300IP / S400IP

Premium Salt Spray – Adds advanced control and the ability to perform two-part modified test cycles involving salt spray with drying or wetting.

CC300IP / CC400IP

Cyclic Corrosion Testing – Adds salt spray, condensation humidity, controlled temperature and humidity, forced-air drying, ambient drying and temperature-only modes. The climates can be programmed in different sequences and repeated automatically

S300IS/S400IS Key Features:

• True colour 3.5’’ Touch-screen controller interface, for ease of programming and control, with graphical display of temperature.
• Centrally located viewing window/s for good visual access to chamber interior and test samples when door closed.

• Timed canopy lock and purge of the chamber interior with fresh air after testing and before the chamber is opened, preventing corrosive salt fog escaping.
• Peristaltic pumping system for precise control and delivery of the salt solution.• Chamber heated by externally mounted heater mats, protecting them against damage from the corrosive climate inside the chamber, and ensuring uniform heat distribution inside the chamber.

S300IP/S400IP Key Features:

• 480p (0.38 megapixel) high resolution icon based interface available in multiple
• languages for ease of understanding and use.
• Large capacity memory, allowing for extensive customer programs to be stored, 254 main programs of up to 200 steps, 100 sub programmes and 254 single line programs.
• True colour, 7’’ wide screen WVGA Screen user control interface, using the latest version of our highly intuitive operating software.
• Integrated immersion heater to create condensation humidity, for testing to a wider range of ‘modified’ salt spray tests.
• Temperature and Humidity monitoring in SCADA using OPC-UA.
• RJ45 communications port enabling the chamber to be wire or wirelessly connected to a local area network (LAN) for logging and remote programming via a computer running optional software

CC300IP/CC400IP Key Features:

Cyclic models have the same features as Premium salt spray models plus:

• the abiliity to combine salt spray with other environmental conditions such as controlled humidity, air drying and condensation humidity modes.:
  • Salt Spray Mode
    • Temperature range – Adjustable from ambient to +60°C/+140°F.
      Salt spray fall-out rates – Adjustable from 0.5 to 2 ml per 80c m2 per hour.*
  • Wetting Mode
    • Temperature range – Adjustable from ambient to +70°C/+158°F.
      Humidity range – Fixed at 95% – 100% RH.
  • Forced Air Drying Mode
    • Temperature range – Adjustable from ambient to +70°C/+158°F.
  • Controlled Humidity Mode Temperature/humidity range – Details on request.
  • Controlled Temperature Only Mode
    • Adjustable from ambient to +60°C/+122°F.
  • Ambient Air Drying Mode
    • Chamber canopy can be programmed to slide open and close at any point
      during a test.
