Salt Spray Chambers – Key Features

Ascott salt spray test chambers with advanced corrosion testing features

Ascott Salt Spray Test Chambers – Modern, Versatile Corrosion Testing Systems

Ascott salt spray test chambers are among the world’s most modern and versatile corrosion test systems, designed with ergonomic features and outstanding build quality. These chambers cover every testing requirement, from continuous salt spray tests to condensation humidity and various modified tests.

Two Specification Levels of Ascott Salt Spray Test Chambers

Standard (iS)

Standard Ascott salt spray test chambers meet basic continuous salt spray test requirements at a single temperature, complying with international standards such as ASTM B117, ISO 9227, and JIS Z 2371. They are suitable for pH neutral salt solutions (NSS) or acidified solutions (ASS and CASS).

Premium (iP)

Premium models include all Standard features and offer additional capabilities for ‘modified’ tests defined in ASTM G85, combining salt spray with other climates in a two-part cycle to accelerate corrosion testing. Examples include salt spray plus condensation humidity (SWAAT), drying (PROHESION), or SO2 testing (ASTM G85 A4).

Seven Model Sizes Available
