About walk in Salt Spray Test Chamber

The Large-Scale Composite Salt Spray Test Chamber is a professional environmental simulation instrument designed to replicate complex corrosion conditions, including high-salt, high-humidity, and temperature-humidity cycles. You can use it to test full vehicles, large components, or batch samples for corrosion resistance, providing reliable data for product development, quality control, and durability verification in automotive, aerospace, and defense industries.

Applications

1. Automotive Industry

Testing the corrosion resistance of complete vehicles, bodies, chassis, and new energy vehicle battery packs in coastal and frigid regions is a critical validation step for export model development.

2. Aerospace and Defense

Evaluating the reliability of aircraft components and military equipment under high salt fog and extreme temperature/humidity conditions ensures service life.

3. Large Structural Components

Simulating harsh environments like chemical plants and marine atmospheres to validate long-term corrosion resistance for items such as corrosion-resistant pipelines, photovoltaic modules, and ship components.

Features

1. Composite Environmental Simulation

Integrates multiple environmental stresses including salt spray (neutral NSS, acetic acid AASS, copper-accelerated CASS modes), temperature-humidity cycling (-40C to 150C, humidity 30% to 98% RH), and drying/condensation cycles. Simulates real-world corrosion scenarios such as marine atmospheres and industrial pollution zones.

2. Large-Scale Testing Capacity

Chamber dimensions typically range from 1018m (L) 35m (W) 34m (H), accommodating large components like complete vehicles, body-in-white, and battery packs. Supports walk-through or lift platform designs for easy sample loading/unloading.

3. High-Precision Control and Intelligent Operation

Salt deposition is precisely controlled at 12 mL/80 cm/h, with temperature fluctuations 0.5C and humidity deviation 5% RH.

Equipped with a touchscreen programmable system supporting multi-mode cyclic testing (e.g., salt spray-damp heat-dry cycles), delivering high automation.

4. Corrosion-Resistant Structural Design

Interior walls utilize corrosion-resistant materials like PVC, FRP, or PP. Exterior shells are constructed from stainless steel or carbon steel with anti-corrosion coatings. Select models feature double-walled insulation to minimize heat loss.
