INTRODUCTION

Corrosion Test Chamber is a major challenge in many industries, impacting the longevity and performance of materials and products. To combat this, accurate and reliable corrosion testing is essential. This is where the Salt Spray Chamber, a critical piece of testing equipment, comes into play. At Pacorr, we understand the importance of ensuring your products can withstand harsh environmental conditions. Our Salt Spray Chambers are designed to deliver precise, consistent, and repeatable results to meet the highest industry standards.

What is a Salt Spray Chamber?

A Salt Spray Test Chamber, also known as a salt fog or salt mist chamber, is a testing device used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of materials and coatings. The chamber simulates a corrosive environment by spraying a saline solution, typically sodium chloride (NaCl), onto the test specimens. This accelerated corrosion testing helps manufacturers predict how their products will perform in real-world conditions over an extended period.
