Corrosion Testing Standards

The test standard summaries are for general guidance only. Though believed to be accurate at the time of writing, this may change over time. So this information should not be used as a substitute for referring to a complete test standard, at an appropriate revision level.

Note: the terms salt spray, salt mist and salt fog are all in wide spread use within corrosion test standards. In this context they can be considered to be equivalent and interchangeable terms.

  • 6 hours Wetting @ 50°C / 95% RH
  • 2 hours Drying @ 60°C
  • 6 hours Wetting@ 50°C / 95% RH
  • 2 hours Drying @ 60°C
  • 3 hours Air blowing @ 20°C

The test profile is repeatable and runs for 24 hours

The test is also sometimes referred to as Honda CCT H/B

The correct mode of Honda 5100Z CCT should be selected based on the shape of evaluation subject:
