HOW WELL DOES YOUR BIKE STAND UP TO SALT AND CORROSION? SALT SPRAY CHAMBER, SSC- SERIES

 A bike can look great on the showroom floor, but what happens after months of rain, road salt and daily use?

Corrosion can affect frames, screws, bolts, welds and other metal components. And when it comes to e-bikes, there are even more parts worth paying attention to.

That’s where salt spray testing comes in.

Using a salt spray chamber, manufacturers can expose materials and coated components to a controlled corrosive environment and check how well they resist corrosion. It’s a practical way to compare coatings, spot weaknesses and improve product durability before the bike reaches the customer.

Of course, passing a salt spray test doesn’t guarantee years of real-world performance. But it does provide valuable information during product development and quality control.
Because a good bike isn’t just about how it rides. It’s also about how well it holds up over time.

THERMAL TESTING OF ENGINE INTAKE MANIFOLDS: CETM-50/3200e TEMPERATURE TEST CHAMBER

 A major engineering firm sought to integrate a thermal testing system to evaluate material fatigue, structural integrity, and gasket performance under conditions of accelerated thermal aging for engine intake manifolds. Intake manifolds—whether made of plastic or metal—are subjected to extreme conditions under the hood, including thermal cycling, rapid temperature fluctuations, pressure changes, and vibration. A failure in the material or a breach in the seal can lead to performance loss, air/fuel leaks, or even serious engine damage. Validating their performance prior to mass production is a critical and essential step.

The requirements specified were:
👉 Large internal volume.
👉 Ergonomic design.
👉 A test range of -40 ºC to +130 ºC.
👉 Temperature change rates (gradients) of 2 K/min for both cooling and heating, accounting for the thermal mass and heat dissipation of three aluminum test samples.
👉 Additional safety features for a glycol-based system.

OUR SOLUTION: The DYCOMETAL CETM-50/3200e-2P thermal test chamber. This model is specifically designed to accommodate three samples in parallel, utilizing three reinforced shelves. Its internal dimensions—1000 x 1600 x 2000 mm (H x W x D)—allow for ergonomic positioning of the samples, with ample space for external system connections routed through four 150 mm access ports. The entire process is managed via an advanced controller and its associated software.

DID YOU KNOW THAT SPORTSWEAR IS TESTED IN CLIMATIC CHAMBERS? CLIMATIC CHAMBER: CCK-40/21430mT

 Our client—a manufacturer of high-performance apparel and accessories—sought a climatic system to verify the behavior of materials during both manufacturing and actual use. They needed to guarantee and validate the clothing's performance under the most demanding conditions, ranging from the humid heat of tropical regions to the dry heat of the desert.

The required specifications were:
- Sufficient volume to accommodate equipment and two people exercising
- Temperature range of -40ºC to +50ºC
- Relative humidity control
- Airflow velocity control
- Multiple observation windows

OKTOBERFEST IS HERE, BUT... DID YOU KNOW THAT BEER ALSO UNDERGOES ITS OWN ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY CONTROL TESTS?

 It’s true; beers undergo specific environmental tests to check their resistance to oxidation and aging reactions triggered by rising temperatures. Radiation is used to assess hop degradation and verify the glass's ability to filter out light radiation. These tests involve "forced aging"—known as accelerated stability testing—which recreates, in just a few days, the harshest real-world conditions the product might face during distribution and retail.

Typical system specifications include:
👉 High load capacity.
👉 Temperature range up to +40ºC.
👉 Irradiation system.
👉 Food-grade stainless steel construction.
👉 Multiple shelves.

OUR SOLUTION: The AFA-30/1000e refrigerated chamber, designed specifically for accelerated testing by beer manufacturers. This high-capacity system features six height-adjustable stainless steel shelves, allowing for flexible positioning based on sample size. Stable and uniform temperature control (up to +40ºC) is maintained throughout the test duration, while a rear-mounted lighting system enables degradation testing. The entire system is managed via a user-friendly controller.
