We all know that corroded metals will lead to damage to product quality. Thus, it is important for manufacturers to test the corrosion resistance of materials in order to ensure that quality products will be delivered to the customers. Thus, we at Presto have designed a high-quality salt spray cyclic test chamber - Cyko that has been designed to conduct the corrosion-resistant test of the surface coatings that will help the manufacturers to ensure that their materials will last longer without getting corroded. Here in this blog, we will discuss brief information about the Presto salt spray chamber and why it should be used in the metal industry. Besides this, we will also focus on how corrosion can affect the quality of metals.
How corrosion can affect your metal quality?
When the metal will be corroded then it will be susceptible to damage. This can cause serious problems in long term, and would also affect the product quality. Additionally, corrosion can cause safety hazards if the weakened metal fails. Metal testing for corrosion can be performed in a number of ways. The most common method is through the use of salt spray chambers.
Presto is a leading manufacturer of salt spray testing chambers and provides this lab testing equipment at the best prices. This cyclic salt spray testing equipment will be considered to be the world’s most interactive and versatile corrosion test chamber that will synthesize salt spray with other environmental conditions. You can read more on the importance of testing automotive parts against corrosion with the Presto salt spray chamber.
All about Presto salt spray chamber
The salt spray test is one of the most widely used quality lab tests that will be used to test the corrosive-resistant properties of the materials with ease. By conducting this quality test one can easily ensure that the right products will be delivered without worrying about the exponential damage to the product quality.
Additionally, testing can help compare different metals or coatings in order to find the best option for a particular application. Presto is a leading manufacturer of salt spray chambers and has been designed in accordance with industrial standards. This cyclic salt spray testing equipment is widely used in the paint, plating & coating testing industry.
This high-quality lab testing instrument has been embedded with highly advanced features which enable users to perform intense ‘modified’ tests. In this the conventional salt spray is often programmed with multiple climates, in a multi-stage cycle, to intensify the test. Some Test Cycles Names - Salt spray and Wetting / Condensation Humidity (SWAAT) or Salt spray and Air drying (PROHESION) can also be conducted with the use of this high-quality lab testing instrument. Below we have listed the features of this quality lab testing equipment.

Advantages of using corrosion test chamber in the metal industry
There are various advantages you will get with the use of this quality lab testing instrument in the metal industry. Below we have listed some of them:
- By conducting a salt spray test on the materials, one can easily ensure the quality of metals.
- Salt spray testing can help to identify any issues with the metal, such as corrosion or pitting. This can help to ensure that the metal is of the highest quality and will be able to withstand the elements it will be exposed to.
- By conducting salt spray tests, any problems with the metal can be identified early on. This allows for corrective action to be taken before the problem becomes more serious.
- Conducting salt spray tests can help to ensure that the metal meets all relevant standards and requirements.
These are the advantages of conducting salt spray tests with the Presto salt spray testing instrument.
