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.

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.

TEMPERATURE TEST CHAMBER FOR TESTING ON TRANSMITTING ANTENNAS, MODEL: CETM-40/979MT

Mobile telephony has become one of the essential elements of our daily lives, and it would be unthinkable for us not to have this technology at our disposal one day. This technology is based on the use of transmitting antennas, which have become part of our natural environment and which must be able to withstand the most aggressive environmental conditions: rain, solar radiation, extreme temperatures (desert or polar), etc. To this end, antenna manufacturers must have a laboratory prepared to simulate real environmental conditions, taking into account the energy dissipation that the antennas will generate during operation, thus guaranteeing correct operation 365 days a year.

The temperature test chamber CETM-40/979MT was designed to reach extreme operating temperatures, taking into account the energy dissipation of the transmitting antennas as well as its own mass. Its mobile design allows the chamber to be easily moved and its reduced volume makes it a space-saving chamber in the laboratory. A powerful chamber in a compact package.

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.
