What is a Salt Spray Chamber?
A Salt Spray Chamber is a laboratory testing instrument designed to evaluate the corrosion resistance of materials and surface coatings. This test simulates harsh environmental conditions, such as high humidity, salt-laden air, and temperature fluctuations, to predict how a product will perform in real-world scenarios.
Pacorr’s Salt Spray Chamber is trusted by manufacturers, suppliers, and exporters worldwide for its precision, durability, and compliance with international testing standards.
How Does a Salt Spray Chamber Work?
The chamber creates a controlled environment where a salt solution (usually 5% NaCl) is atomized into a fine mist. Test samples are placed inside, and the exposure time is set according to the required standard. The corrosion rate, rust formation, and coating degradation are then observed and recorded.
Key Components:
- Test Chamber – Holds the samples and salt mist
- Nozzle System – Atomizes salt solution into mist
- Heater – Maintains desired temperature
- Control Panel – Adjusts test duration and parameters

Step-by-Step Guide to Using a Salt Spray Chamber
- Step 1: Prepare the salt solution as per the testing standard (e.g., ASTM B117).
- Step 2: Place cleaned test samples in the chamber.
- Step 3: Set temperature, pH, and spray time on the control panel.
- Step 4: Start the test and monitor periodically.
- Step 5: At the end of the cycle, document corrosion patterns with images and reports.
