ISO 9227 Neutral Salt Spray Test for Metallic Components

Metallic components like screws, locks, connectors etc. are the soul parts of any machine. These machines can be as big as a ship or they can be a small mixer grinder used at home. But no machine can be functional without the use of these components. Therefore the manufacturers must understand how important is to deliver the same and also in high quality as the entire machine functionality is dependent on these small portions and their longevity. In this blog, we will know more about how the use of the ISO 9227 Neutral Salt Spray Test can ensure a good quality of products with an efficient salt spray tester.

What is ISO based NSS test?

NSS also termed a Neutral salt spray test is a quality testing process performed on coated or painted metal material. It is implemented using a highly precise and standardized salt spray tester in which we put a concentration of salt water (5% NaCl) solution and produce atomized spray through a spray nozzle using pressurized air. The test is considered to be the most common in practice for coating industry but the machine used for conducting tests have a more important role. If the salt fog tester used for conducting NSS is not standardized and not designed as per international test standards like ISO 9227, they can have different test results and can affect the efficiency of tests. Leading to faulty results, selection of bad quality material.

A bad quality means a low resistant coating or paint which is when applied will give lesser protection against corrosion resulting in faster deterioration of components when exposed to water or, in a humid environment. This can bring loss to the company and brand overall.

Bringing expertise with precision in NSS corrosion testing

Pacorr, one of the renonwed makers of quality testing equipment are here with their range of high-end quality assurance solution for different verticals. For coating and paint corrosion testing it brings, Salt Spray Tester with FRP body material. The machine is not only designed as per all the international standards like ASTM B117, ISO 9227, and JIS Z 2371 but also is equipped with high-end and latest features. It is made up of FRP material that is the best-in-class body material for corrosion tester. The features offer precise programming, safety switches for over temperature, and accurately measured salt solutions. The machine is the best option for conduction ISO based NSS test on coated metal components.
