Applied Technical Services’ salt spray testing lab is dedicated to helping clients accurately determine how corrosion will impact the functionality or appearance of a product. The goal of these accelerated tests is to ensure that products and coatings can withstand corrosive service environments. The ATS salt spray testing lab creates accelerated real-world simulations to accurately determine the impact of corrosion on products, parts, and materials.
Multiple testing chambers are used to complete a rigorous series of customized salt spray testing. As part of this testing, ATS can also provide clients with a detailed report on the progression or formation of rust on coated test panels, as well as various types of products.
Testing Capabilities
The ATS salt spray testing lab houses several chambers of various sizes, from a drive-in corrosion chamber capable of fitting large equipment to moderately sized chambers used for small samples. Call us to speak to a representative about your sample sizes.
During salt spray testing, materials are exposed to a carefully regulated high-saline environment for a specific period of time. Next, our experts examine the samples to determine their corrosion resistance levels. We can provide clients with photographic documentation and quantitative evaluations (% blistering, amount of creepage from scribe, etc.), so they can make effective manufacturing and design decisions.
ATS salt testing includes:
