Overview: Salt Spray Tester

The Qualitest QSST series salt spray tester works as a standardized accelerated corrosion apparatus engineered to evaluate protective finishes across industrial production lines and commercial testing labs throughout the United States.

The cabinet atomizes a saline mist to expose coated specimens to an aggressive environment, enabling quality assurance personnel to confirm coating adhesion and ensure metal treatments conform to North American quality thresholds.

Available in four internal capacities from 108 liters up to 800 liters, each salt spray chamber serves primarily as a comparative audit device for commercial quality control. While not intended to forecast decades of outdoor weather exposure, the equipment reliably spots finish inconsistencies in anodizing, electroplating, galvanizing, or powder coats before parts ship to North American assembly operations.

Compliance & Standards

For plant inspection teams and testing facilities across the United States, adhering to established American society standards is critical for passing supplier audits. The QSST salt spray test chamber complies fully with North American test methods, including:

ASTM B117: Primary American standard practice for operating salt fog apparatus with five percent sodium chloride mist maintained at 35 degrees Celsius.
ASTM B368: Copper-accelerated acetic acid-salt spray (CASS) procedure conducted at 50 degrees Celsius for electroplated finishes and exterior automotive trim.
ASTM B380: Standard corrosion testing method for decorative electrodeposited coatings via the Corrodkote procedure.
ASTM G85 - 11: Modified salt spray cycles for specialized coating assessments.
ASTM D1735: Water fog testing methods assessing finish moisture resistance.

For companies managing global export contracts, this salt fog test chamber also conforms to international criteria including ISO 9227, ISO 4611, ISO 7253, DIN 50021, and JIS Z 2371. Qualitest is also listed as a registered U.S. Federal Supplier on SAM.gov.

Key Features

Resilient Enclosure Construction: Fabricated from 5-millimeter imported polyvinyl chloride plating durable up to 85 degrees Celsius, matched with an insulating 6-millimeter acrylic cover to handle continuous plant-floor testing cycles.
Condensate Deflection Cover: A peaked roof angle of 100 degrees on the acrylic cover channels condensation along interior walls, stopping droplets from falling onto your test pieces and corrupting inspection records.
Bernoulli Principle Glass Atomizer: A specialized glass nozzle paired with an adjustable dispersion tower maintains steady mist distribution between 1.0 and 2.0 milliliters per hour per 80 square centimeters.
Heating Hardware: The main testing zone houses an armored titanium heating element regulated by P.I.D. and solid-state relays, resisting acidic degradation while preserving temperature consistency within 0.5 degrees Celsius.
Dual Saturated Air Pre-Conditioning: A heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel humidifying vessel with an internal 316 stainless heating element warms incoming shop air up to 63 degrees Celsius, maintaining proper humidity before entering the testing space.

Digital Controls: An Omron E5CC digital display terminal featuring an English menu and multi-stage timers enables technicians to schedule test cycles from 24 to 1,000 hours with endless cycling alternatives.
Lid Management: Smaller enclosures (QSST-108L and QSST-270L) utilize manual balance hinges, while higher-volume production models (QSST-480L and QSST-800L) employ pneumatic lifting mechanisms to minimize worker strain.
Built-In Safety Mechanisms: Liquid level monitors, protection against dry heating, water isolation barriers, and electrical cutoffs protect plant operations throughout long-duration test runs.

Product Applications & Operating Environments

Built specifically for indoor quality assurance laboratories and manufacturing plant environments, the series supports evaluation routines across vital American industrial sectors:

Automotive and Transportation: Checking surface protection on stamped body panels, suspension fasteners, fuel-delivery components, brake hardware, and exterior trim parts.
Aerospace and Defense: Verifying protective barriers on treated structural alloys and plated fasteners to satisfy rigorous defense procurement expectations.
Architectural Building Hardware: Auditing zinc-galvanized framing components, structural fasteners, and architectural extrusions finished with protective coatings.
Electronics and Electrical Enclosures: Evaluating connector plating, protective cabinetry finishes, and printed circuit board conformal coatings.
Commercial Finishing and Plating Shops: Running continuous comparative evaluations for neutral salt spray (NSS), acetic acid salt spray (AASS), and copper-accelerated acetic acid salt spray (CASS) finishing batches.

Model Capacities:

QSST-108L: Holds up to 28 test coupons, suited for research facilities, component validation, and fastener audits.

QSST-270L: Accommodates up to 70 test coupons, built for daily batch audits in commercial finishing shops.
QSST-480L: High-capacity unit supporting up to 108 test coupons, suited for high-output automotive and hardware suppliers.
QSST-800L: High-volume configuration holding up to 120 test coupons, configured for bulky structural fasteners, large stampings, and equipment enclosures.

Facility Utility Requirements:

Facility installation requires an oil-free, dry compressed air supply between 0.4 and 0.8 MPa, reliable feeds of demineralized water and salt solution, and electrical connections in either 220-volt or American 110-volt shop layouts.
