PROHESION, MODIFIED SALT SPRAY TEST, ASTM G85-ANNEX A5

ASTM G-85 is a corrosion standard that establishes a number of methods for modified salt spray testing. These variations described in the standard are useful when a different or more corrosive environment than the salt spray described in ASTM B117 tests is desired. This method is applicable to both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as organic and inorganic coatings.

Within this standard, Annex A5 establishes test criteria based on stages of slightly acidified salt spray, followed by exposure to drying at a temperature above the test temperature by inlet of fresh, unsaturated air. These conditions have to be taken into account when designing the chamber, since this second stage requires a modification of a standard salt spray.

The SSC salt spray chamber models can have this test in their configuration by means of a design and programming modification, and this test can be carried out as an option of the standard configuration in any of the models offered.

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.

LARGE VOLUME THERMAL SHOCK CHAMBER - 2500 LITRES, MODEL: CRT2H-40/2500

Thermal shock chambers are a fundamental element for the thermal fatigue testing of materials, equipment and automatisms. They are predominantly used in the following industries: aeronautics, automotive, military, electronics, telecommunications, space and, in general, in the materials research industry. The configuration of these chambers is usually vertical, but when the parts have a very large volume, it is necessary to opt for a horizontal design that allows the thermal shock to be carried out from right to left and vice versa.

The CRT2H-40/2500 thermal shock chamber was a great challenge for Dycometal, since few chambers with this volume have been manufactured, nor so demanding. The development of the chamber was carried out by our technical and design department with the customer, designing equipment in accordance with their requirements.

SPECIAL CLIMATIC TEST CHAMBER FOR PALEONTOLOGICAL TESTS. MODEL, CCK-25/2340MTe

Taphonomy is the part of palaeontology that studies the processes of fossilisation and the formation of fossil deposits. The aim of a test laboratory is to simulate the environmental conditions to which fossils will be subjected in nature, under controlled and repeatable conditions. This will require a very special chamber that encompasses all types of environmental tests possible in nature and anywhere in the world: temperature control, cryogenics, humidity, rain, carbonation and solar radiation.

The CCK-25/2340MTe chamber model was created with this premise in mind, the control of multiple variables existing in nature, within a medium volume and vertical chamber, in order to simulate the conditions to which the fossils will be subjected in real life. The equipment has several environmental simulation options that can be controlled both individually and as a whole, depending on the combination.

With the Kesternich’s Test we can get an artificial atmosphere with the best approximation to the results obtained when in sulphurous natural atmospheres some metals are expounded to it.

The Kesternich Test consists of a cycle of 24 hours slit in two parts: the first one consists of 8 hours with closed chamber and the pieces in its indoor, situated according to the Regulations and expounded to 40ºC inside of which 0,2 or 2 liters/ gr. of Sulphurous Anhydrid are introduced with a 100% of RH.

After this period of time, another stage of 16 hours goes on. In this stage the door is open, the heating is stopped and the pieces are exposed to the Ambiance Temperature of the air (according to SFW variant of the DIN 50.017/ 50.018). The test finishes when an inadmissible influence appears in the aspect of the expounded pieces or when the accorded number of cycles for the Test's duration has been reached.
