KESTERNICH CORROSION TEST CHAMBERS

The DIN 50 018 standard establishes the conditions for the Kesternich Corrosion Test. This test is designed to simulate industrial or urban atmospheres by forming an artificial atmosphere by adding sulphur dioxide to the air, with or without carbon dioxide. With the Kesternich Test an artificial atmosphere is obtained with the maximum approximation to the results obtained when metals are exposed in natural sulphurous atmospheres.

From DYCOMETAL we offer our standard designs as well as modified designs according to the customer’s needs to comply with this corrosion standard.

EXTERNAL CONDITIONING UNIT FOR ELECTRICAL ENGINE TESTING, MODEL: AFA-150/300g

The growing demand for electrical equipment has increased the need for ever more demanding climatic testing to ensure system reliability. The extreme conditions that these parts will face can range from cold winter to the highest desert temperatures.

The external conditioning unit, model AFA-150/300g, was designed to ensure the operation of the electrical machine in extreme positive temperature conditions. The external box was designed to be adapted to the customer's existing test bench in such a way that it could be adapted as much as possible without altering the configuration of the test bench. The test chamber has two replaceable doors so that both the generator and the test stand can be used as a normal system to increase its usefulness.

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.

CLIMATIC TEST CHAMBER FOR THE STUDY OF PHOTOSENSITIVE SENSORS, MODEL: CCK-40/300T

There are a considerable number of sensors for measuring all kinds of physical or chemical parameters, among which there are some sensors that can be photosensitive, where light can affect their performance. These sensors, as well as those that are not affected by light, must be subjected to climatic and thermal tests, to verify their performance under extreme conditions, but with the proviso that they must be climatic tests without the presence of light. For this purpose, the climatic chamber is built with a blind door, without a window, so that light access to the test chamber is reduced to a minimum. In addition, other parameters are taken into account to avoid possible reflections inside the chamber.

The CCK-40/300T climatic chamber has been modified to reduce the possible entry of light as much as possible, so that the sensors are not affected. It also has the capacity to control the climatic variables necessary to stress the electronic boards and photosensitive sensors.

CLIMATIC TEST CHAMBER FOR DRIVING MIRRORS, MODEL: CCK-40/588e

A vehicle’s driving mirrors can range in size from the smallest in a utility vehicle to the new larger mirrors in a van or truck. Moreover, their vertical geometry makes it difficult for them to fit into a vehicle position in a conventional climatic chamber. If we add to this the fact that laboratories have limited space for the chambers, then the design has to be well thought out.

The CCK-40/588e test chamber has been developed to meet all customer requirements: tight budget, limited space and a wide range of sample sizes. A model that meets the most stringent automotive standards and fits the space available for the chamber in the laboratory.

WALK-IN Salt Spray Chamber

One of the most important destructive agents of the nature is the corrosion, being one of the principals causes of economic lose.

All the markets: automotive, aeronautical, railway, paints or any type of metal treatment industry, have corrosion test simulation inside their quality standards. Sometimes, the samples to be tested are too big, so they need solutions with bigger volumes. In this case, we use the Walk-in Salt Spray Chambers.

The Salt Spray Corrosion Test consists of an accelerated corrosion attack by an artificial salt spray of a certain composition, in the exact conditions of temperature and pressure. To do this type of tests, it uses the salt spray chambers.

Kesternich Test Chamber

The DIN 50 018 standard give conditions for Kesternich Corrosion test. This test has been done to simulate industrial or urban atmosphere, by means of the formation of an artificial atmosphere, adding to the air Sulphurous Anhydrid, with or without carbon dioxide.

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.
