Three Major Test Standards for Salt Spray Test Chambers

Release time:2025-04-18

A salt spray test chamber can perform three types of tests: Neutral Salt Spray (NSS)Acetic Acid Salt Spray (ASS), and Copper-Accelerated Acetic Acid Salt Spray (CASS). Since each test has different performance requirements, their respective standards also vary. Below, we explain the three test standards for this equipment:

Salt Spray Test Chambers

1. Neutral Salt Spray (NSS) Test Standard

  • Dissolve chemically pure sodium chloride in distilled water at a concentration of 50±5 g/L.
  • Measure the pH of the solution using a pH meter or precision pH test paper (calibrated with a pH meter for routine checks).
  • Adjust the pH of the solution (if necessary) using chemically pure hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide to maintain the collected salt spray pH between 6.2–7.2.
  • Filter the solution before use to prevent nozzle clogging.

2. Acetic Acid Salt Spray (ASS) Test Standard

  • Dissolve chemically pure sodium chloride in distilled water at a concentration of 50±5 g/L.
  • Adjust the pH of the solution using acetic acid to a range of 3.1–3.3.
  • Measure the pH at 25°C.
  • Filter the prepared solution before use.

3. Copper-Accelerated Acetic Acid Salt Spray (CASS) Test Standard

  • This is a rapid corrosion test recently developed abroad, conducted at 50°C.
  • Dissolve chemically pure sodium chloride in distilled water at a concentration of 50±5 g/L.
  • Add copper(II) chloride to the prepared saline solution in the specified ratio per liter, then mix thoroughly.
  • Adjust the pH of the solution using acetic acid to a range of 3.1–3.3.
  • Measure the pH at 25°C.
  • Filter the prepared solution before use.

These standards ensure the reliability and accuracy of salt spray corrosion testing for evaluating material durability under harsh environmental conditions.

Recommendation
HAST chambers are indispensable instruments in the evaluation of product reliability, particularly within the fields of semiconductors, electronic components, and advanced material sciences.
Thermal shock test chambers are high-precision instruments used to evaluate the durability of materials and components under rapid and extreme temperature changes.
The performance and reliability of salt spray test chambers hinge on numerous design and operational factors, with seal integrity standing as a paramount consideration.
Temperature humidity test chambers are critical instruments in environmental testing, utilized across industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and pharmaceuticals to simulate various climatic conditions.
