Envirotronics SSP Salt Spray and SSC Corrosion Climate Cycling Test Chambers combine technical function, ergonomics and innovative design to provide the user with the very best possible test system.

To substantiate this claim, we have given great consideration to both capital and operating costs. So the proof is not only in the great variety of technical and practical details, but also in the price/performance ratio.

The series is characterized by its environmentally friendly overall design; it is absolutely corrosion-proof, has low energy requirements and is almost entirely built from recyclable materials.

The SSP and SSC series of salt spray test chambers and cycling climate test equipment allows selective and reproducible accelerated corrosion testing that complies with the requirements of national and international standards such as DIN, ISO, ASTM, DEF, MIL-STD, etc.

The wide-angle test chamber hood allows for loading heavy or bulky test specimens from the top. Two standard sizes are available. A flat workspace is provided between test space and control panel for placing small specimens before or after a test cycle. The removable machine compartment hood provides easy access for the operator and service personnel carrying out maintenance and service work.

»Design Advantages

  • Corrosion resistant housing made from recyclable polyethylene
  • Acrylic glass nozzle in spraying duct for optimum spray fog distribution
  • Robust construction
  • Good thermal insulation; the choice of materials guarantees long service life
  • User-friendly variable positioning for test specimens
  • External heating of test chamber using safe 42 volt system
  • Test specimens may also be lifted into the test chamber thanks to the lightweight test chamber hood which opens to 75 °
  • Hydrostatic hood seal
  • Ergonomic arrangement of the operating panel and display instruments
  • Operation, program and set value selection via color touch panel
  • Digital set and actual value displays
  • Digital fill level display on the operating panel
  • Long-term tests are no problem thanks to the 180 liter capacity brine reservoir
  • Easily filled with brine through a front-mounted, 125 mm Ø filler opening
  • Ready to plug-in, modular construction. There is no need for assembly or commissioning on site
  • Test chamber designed for ease of service, all parts are easily accessible through the light-weight, removable machine compartment hood.

»Design Features

  • The corrosion-resistant, self-supporting polyethylene casing is in two colors, the body is White, the test chamber hood is Blue.
  • Adequate floor clearance (approx.100 mm) for transportation and cleaning is provided by five adjustable feet.
  • The depth of the equipment, at 800 mm, allows it to pass through standard doors with no difficulty.
  • The high quality test chamber is made from special fiberglass reinforced plastic laminate and is fitted with all supply and drainage connections and housings for test specimen support rods.
  • The hood and test chamber are hydrostatically sealed using a “U” profile groove.
  • The connection for the condensation drain is located at the bottom left of the rear wall of the test chamber. The exhaust air connection is flush with the machine compartment rear wall.
  • The brine container is an integral part of the machine compartment.
  • The machinery compartment hood incorporates the operating and display panel and a work bench which can withstand a distributed load of up to 10 kg.
  • The level of the supply water for the pressurized humidifier is automatically regulated.
  • Safety devices switch the test chamber off in the event of faults such as excess temperature.

»Control and Programming

The Salt Spray Test Chambers are equipped with the self-monitoring, digital 32-bit measuring and control system S!MCON/32*-NET. This system coordinates all control functions. Integration of the test unit into your computer network is easily possible via an Ethernet interface (RJ 45). Input functions and display of the operating parameters are actuated via the graphic color touch panel.
