Pipe socket joint is the busiest market of all. They are equally important to water pipes like bone joints to the human body. The pipe sockets are now evolved into different material mixtures. They are made up of plastics, PVC material or purely metal especially iron. However, the most trustworthy and durable pipe material is the iron connectors that are coated with good quality paint. And this quality must be ensured to be the best of measures and don't allow early corrosion inside the coating. In this blog, we will see how we can implement an affection corrosion testing method via salt spray chamber or tester and assure long-term functioning and performance of pipe sockets.

Why do we need a salt spray corrosion test for Iron pipe sockets?

Pipe sockets as we know are the building blocks of the entire pipeline work in a house or any commercial building. The whole water network is only dependent upon how strong is the pipeline material. The stronger the pipe sockets, the more assuring is the pipeline web. Therefore, most product designers or manufacturers or even architects go for iron-based pipe connectors or sockets. Iron is the strongest of all, that we all know but when it comes to building connections, iron is considered to be the most durable material. However, talking about pipelines, we all know the product they will carry is fluid, which can be a liquid or gas, and if that is water in most cases, a major problem can arise using iron joints. Encountering water for a long time can oxidize iron molecules present in the pipe socket and lead it to corrosion.

And with time when the corrosion increases can lead to weak joints and thus can break down the pipeline by developing a leak and further corroding the entire pipeline.

Therefore, a good quality protective layer over the socket is very important. And that comes from high-quality paint coating. Every socket manufacturer always strives to use the best paint for coating the sockets but how one can ensure that the coating will retain how much time on the socket surface and can provide maximum resistance under extreme oxidizing conditions.

An efficient method of corrosion testing for iron pipe sockets

Salt Spray tester, is an innovative method of testing corrosion and predicting the rusting of iron metal for nearly a thousand years. The salt spray chamber is quality testing equipment that can conduct accelerated corrosion testing. The machine can tell a predictable result of rusting of an iron-based pipe socket for thousand of years in a few hours of tests. It is equipped with next-generation parts and reputed make components. Designed as per international testing standards. Comes with a salt mist maker that delivers the finest salt fog that is sprayed on the products to be tested. This fog test can be conducted for any size of iron pipe sockets and is used in a wide range of industries.

To test the efficiency of the paint, one must just coat a socket with the desirable paint for one or two shades and then place it inside the salt spray tester. Close the chamber lid and set the test parameters like temperature, salt solution, and also the time of the corrosion testing. After which we can initiate the testing process. The machine can be left unattended due to its safety features and multiple warnings alarms. After the test with physical observation and conducting comparison analysis, one can tell which paint formula can work better.
