ASTM B368 - 09 Standard Testing Instruments

 ASTM B368 09 describes the test procedure to be followed in copper accelerated acetic acid salt spray testing as a means to examine the corrosive resistance of metallic coatings and decorative surface finishes. It is a commonly used standard in studying electroplated finishes like nickel chromium and copper nickel chromium, among other protective metallic finishes, in accelerated corrosive conditions. It assists manufacturers to detect any defects in coating, corrosion behavior, and surface deterioration as well as finish durability at conditions before actual service conditions. ASTM International Presto Laboratories offers advanced salt spray chamber systems suitable for ASTM B368 testing applications. These testing systems help industries study corrosion performance, coating quality, and surface protection under controlled laboratory testing conditions.
