The unique 400 L salt spray cabinet can be placed either on an existing laboratory table or on the original VLM support. This offers the most convenient and space saving configuration of the cabinet, test solution reservoir and water purification plant. Only compressed air has to supplied. If there is no central plant you will find very low-noise suppliers of compressors among the accessories.
Front door opening professional cabinets allow most convenient loading of the chamber particularly with hanging specimen. Moreover the cleaning of the chamber is easy. Due to the high level of the drain port there will be enough downward slope to the commonly installed siphons.
The side walls of the chamber are made of polyethylene with milled holes for the specimen support. The water trough, the back wall and the inner roof are made of stainless steel coated with Halar® (ECTFE). This unique design allows a quick transfer of the heat into the chamber. Together with the advanced temperature control system best conditions for the precise tempering of the chamber are provided.
For that reason SAL cabinets can also be applied to conducting of high humidity tests after the extension by the working system „CON“.
Alternatively to our salt spray tests bench top professional cabinets and HD-chest models we offer the most favourable "ECONOMY" chests with 600L and 1000 L chamber capacity. These models are especially designed pursuant to the requirements of salt spray tests according to ASTM B117, ASTM B368, BS 3900 ECCA T8 JIS 7253 DIN 50021 SS, ESS,CASS resp. ISO 9227.
The side- and front walls are made from polypropylene. Following the VLM prinicles the EC-chest model are as well furnished with a ECTFE coated stainless steel bottom. Compared to conventinal chests the EC-chambers show a considerably better heat conductivity. For this reason the chamber will be heated up evenly and rapidly. Moreover due to this benefit, EC-chests can also be used for high humidity tests with constant water condensation pursuant to ISO 6270-2 CH.
The EC-cabinets are furnished with a transparent cover with turnable locks at both sides with a "dry" industrial seal made of silicon foam. Hence, there is not only a convenient cleaning or loading of the chamber with the specimens. More important: As the chamber is hermetically closed during the tests there is no risk of contamination of the lab by escaping salt mist. An air purge is a serial feature and has to be activated before the cover is opened.
The standard procedures of numerous automotive manufacturers for simulating their products' environmental conditions make high demands on the chamber technology. They require a high degree of flexibility especially of
Special advantages offers the SPS control system which assures that process parameters are reached exactly and rapidly and that they are strictly maintained. The touchpad's clearly structured menu navigation makes it easy and secure to handle the testing chamber. Process data can be visualised, supervised and documented with our professional software called VisiCORR®. For this purpose, the standard chamber is equipped with a Modbus RTU and an Ethernet TDP/IP interface.
VLM offers you a comprehensive product range of bench top professional cabinets or chest models which covers a wide application and service spectrum going from the classical VDA test (VDA 621-415) or VW PV 1210 with conditionened ambient air to very exigent test procudures according to the factory standards of other automotive manufacturers and suppliers (see "MF" multifunction series).
We are pleased to advise you in order to compile the chamber configuration which fits exactly to your needs. Due to their unique construction and material composition, VLM corrosion testing chambers provide the best conditions to realise a high reproducibility of fully automatic cyclic corrosion tests
