ISO 6270-2, DETERMINATION OF RESISTANCE TO CONDENSATION IN PAINTS AND VARNISHES

ISO 6270-2 (Determination of resistance to humidity. Part 2: Procedure for exposing test specimens in condensation-water atmospheres) establishes conditions and procedures for the conditioning of samples in order to evaluate the behaviour and defects that can develop when samples are subjected to high humidity environments. This test establishes 3 different types of atmospheres: CH – Condensing atmosphere with constant humidity; AHT – Condensing atmosphere with alternating humidity and air temperature; AT – Condensing atmosphere with alternating air temperature.

Normally, condensing chambers are presented in a vertical format with a capacity of approximately 300 litres, but… What happens when we want to test large parts? In this case, Dycometal’s solution is the condensing chamber in horizontal format with a large width dimension in order to be able to introduce the largest samples. This horizontal design allows several samples to be positioned in parallel for testing. Volumes of 1000 or 2000 litres provide more than enough capacity to accommodate large specimen lengths.

CYCLIC CORROSION CHAMBER FOR COMPLIANCE WITH ISO 11997-1 – PAINTS AND VARNISHES, SSCK

ISO 11997-1 (Determination of resistance to cyclic corrosion conditions) describes the method for the determination of the resistance of coatings to one of the 4 defined cycles under humidity (salt spray)/dryness/humidity conditions using specific solutions. This method is used to compare the resistance of different coatings to cyclic salt spray exposure. It is most commonly used to provide a rating scale for a series of painted specimens that show significant differences in resistance to cyclic salt spray exposure. This standard has different types of cycles: A: based on Japanese standards, B: based on VDA 621-415 used in Europe, C: developed in the UK for water soluble paints or latex paint, D: based on Japanese standards.

Our SSCK cyclic corrosion models have been developed for compliance with this standard in any of its cycles. With 5 different volumes, they can be adapted to the space requirements of customers and their programmer with associated software will allow the test to be recorded and a full report to be produced.

THERMAL TEST CHAMBER TO COMBINE WITH VIBRATION SYSTEM FOR THE AERONAUTICAL SECTOR, CETM-60/150Te

 Combined chambers with vibration are very popular equipment in the aeronautical and aerospace sector. This type of equipment makes it possible to combine 2 types of tests that the samples will face: vibration and extreme temperature conditions. But the different parts that make up an aircraft or a spacecraft come in many sizes, and the simulation equipment must be adapted to the dimensions of the samples.

Our strength lies in our flexibility to adapt any of our equipment to suit the needs of our customers. In this case, we manufactured a thermal test chamber adapted to a vibration unit with a volume of 150 litres for small parts. With interior dimensions of 600 x 500 x 500 mm, interchangeable floor and structure to be positioned on lateral supports to the shaker.

CLIMATIC CHAMBER WITH INFRARED VIEWING WINDOW FOR CONVERTER DEVELOPMENT (GWP lower than 150), CCK-30/648T

 Power converters (DC/DC) are electronic devices that enable the DC voltage to be changed from one value to another. Their role is necessary for numerous electronic systems, as they ensure that power is transferred efficiently from the power supply. For their pre-production development, different temperature and humidity conditions have to be tested to see how they actually perform in different scenarios.

Our CCK-30/648T, with a GWP of less than 150, is designed for the development and manufacture of DC/DC converters. The equipment allows a working range of the equipment from -30 ºC to +150 ºC and a low humidity control from 10% to 98% hr. As a special feature, the chamber has been manufactured with a transparent infrared window that allows thermographic studies to be carried out inside the chamber and to see the thermal behaviour of the converter inside the chamber.

CLIMATIC CHAMBER FOR CONSTRUCTION TESTS WITH GWP LESS THAN 150 ACCORDING TO F-GAS, CCK-30/3000T

 Building materials are diverse and made of different materials, each with a different resistance to weathering or indoor conditions, which means that tests on materials are diverse and under different environmental conditions. The technological centres of accreditation in construction materials need chambers with a wide range of tests in order to be able to cover a large number of tests and to be able to make the investment profitable.

The climatic chamber model CCK-30/3000T has been built to be able to fulfil a large number of tests for different materials and under different climatic conditions, from freezing tests to high temperature and high humidity tests. The equipment has been internally reinforced to withstand heavy weights and made of high quality stainless steel on the inside. In addition, the chamber has been manufactured with a refrigeration system with a GWP of less than 150 in accordance with the new European refrigerant gas standard, F-gas.

SUPPLYING OF TWO FORCED AIR HEATING OVENS AFA-250/490, FOR AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

 We are pleased to announce that we have just supplied 2 forced air ovens for the automotive industry. These laboratory ovens are based on our standard 490 litre design, with internal dimensions of: 1000 x 700 x 700 mm (H x W x D). The ovens have a temperature range from ambient +10 ºC to +250 ºC, with gradients of 2 ºC/min. The supply is complemented by 2 trays per oven, as well as an advanced microprocessor-based control system with associated remote control software for data logging and reporting of each test.

These ovens will be used for thermal testing of automotive parts at high temperatures, to analyse the resistance of materials to such temperatures, as well as to perform surface treatments and curing.
