What is the JIS Z 2371 SST standard?

Testing standards are produced in different nations only because some standardisation was required while anyone in the world conducts quality tests. Similarly, for corrosion testing procedures, there are few standards, one of which is JIS Z 2371. With this blog, let us know further about this standard. What is this? How does it apply to the testing system and why it is so important to follow?

Exploring what is JIS Z 2371?

JIS Z 2371 is a Japanese International Testing Standard that is used by people across the world and is applied to maintain testing and accuracy of testing results. The standard is a set of rules & regulations that imply on the testing apparatus, its design structure etc. the testing procedure, and the amount and composition of test materials.

As it is corrosion test standard it tells the testers, which machine is fit to conduct the test as expected and deliver a highly accurate test result.

Salt Spray testing machines that follow this standard means the equipment is precisely designed as per the stated agreement in the standard. It tells the exact angles, outlines of the machine. How much depth the chamber be, what kind of fittings it must have. Further, the standard also notifies that how to conduct a particular test for the metallic and non-mettalic material.

For what kind of test and for which product the standard is used?

The standard is used to conduct realative corrosion tests that can tell the impact of same conditions on different categories of material coated or uncoated. The test can help users differentiate the quality of same material under the impact of salt fog test conditions once when its without any coat and another when the coating needs to be checked is applied on the same. In such test the parameters doesnt changes, but the sample would.

The machine that follows JIS Z 2371 standard for corrosion test

Pacorr brings one of the best testing solutions in the field of corrosion testing its new and well-equipped range of Salt Spray Testers. The machine’s body is made out of latest Fibre Reinforced Material (FRP). This allows the equipment to run for long time without any damage. This also saves the cost of repair and saves money. The equipment is designed as per JIS Z 2371 standard and also follows other international standards as well. It is equipped with the modern time necessities required for conducting a highly precise corrosion test.
