ASTM B117

The ASTM B117 standard is one of the most widely recognized practices for conducting salt spray (fog) testing. It outlines the procedures for using salt spray chambers to test the corrosion resistance of materials and surface coatings. The method simulates a corrosive environment by spraying a salt solution in a controlled atmosphere, accelerating the effects of corrosion to evaluate the durability of the tested specimens.

The standard specifies requirements for salt solution composition, pH levels, temperature, humidity, and spray rates to ensure consistency and repeatability in test conditions. Pacorr Testing Instruments Pvt Ltd manufactures Salt Spray Chambers that comply with ASTM B117, providing precise control over these parameters to deliver reliable and repeatable results.

ASTM B117 is critical for industries such as automotive, aerospace, and construction, where corrosion resistance is essential for product longevity and performance. Pacorr’s Salt Spray Chambers are designed to help manufacturers meet ASTM B117 standards, ensuring that their products can withstand corrosive environments and meet international quality standards.
