Standards – ASTM B117 & ISO 9227 (Salt Spray / Salt Fog Test)

1) Scope

This apparatus is suitable for salt spray (fog) testing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and also used to test
organic and inorganic coatings where such tests form the basis for material or product specifications.

2) Apparatus

A salt spray test system consists of a fog chamber, salt solution reservoir, air supply system, atomizing nozzle(s),
specimen supports, heaters for heating the salt solution, and necessary control and monitoring systems.

3) Temperature Control

The exposure zone of the salt spray chamber is maintained at 35 ± 2 °C. The controller maintains
the temperature within a specified operating range for repeatable results.

4) pH Control

As per ASTM B117, when atomized at 35 °C the collected solution should be within the pH range
6.5 to 7.2. A pH meter is used to monitor this value.

5) Air Supply

Air supply must be free from oil and dust. Pressure is maintained so that uniform salt fog occurs.
Typical pressure: 1.0 kg/cm² ± 0.2.

6) Atomization and Quantity of Fog

As per ASTM B117, for every 80 cm² (4-inch funnel) of horizontal collecting area,
collected solution should be 1.0 to 2.0 mL per hour averaged over at least 16 hours.

Why Salt Spray Testing is Important

Salt spray testing helps determine how well materials and coatings resist corrosion in harsh environments.
It is a widely used accelerated corrosion test to verify coating quality where rust resistance is critical.

Using the SST-216A Salt Spray Chamber, manufacturers can validate coating strength, compare protective layers,
and improve product reliability before shipment.
