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.

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.

DYCOMETAL, company with over 25 years experience in developing simulation chambers for environmental testing, offers customers Kesternich test chambers to carry out such tests.

Cyclical Corrosion Test Chamber

The cyclical corrosion test chambers, allow the realization of environmental tests, combined different techniques: salt spray chamber, condensation and dried with temperature/humidity control. These chambers are programmed in order to alternate the test in any sequence or to reproduce automatically.

This type of test is used commonly in the industries: automotive, aeronautical, paints, etc.

The most common standards are: CCT-1, CCT-2, CCT-4, ECC-1, D17 2028, GM9540P, ISO11997-1, ISO14993, JASO M 609, etc.

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.

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.

Standards like: ASTM B117, ISO 9227, DIN 50 021, JIS Z 2371, etc, give a test parameters to simulate the most aggressive atmosphere.
