Salt Spray Chamber is part of the Corrosion Laboratory infrastructure at ITU Surface Lab. This page summarizes where the device sits in the laboratory workflow, what kind of measurements or process steps it supports, and why it matters in applied surface engineering studies.
In practice, the device is used to compare coating behavior, process stability, microstructural response, or surface-related performance outputs under controlled research conditions. The goal is not only to list the equipment, but to clarify the role it plays in experiment design and interpretation.
The summary, metadata cards, and detailed content below connect the device to real laboratory questions such as deposition strategy, corrosion response, tribological performance, characterization depth, or data reliability across projects and publications.
Specifications Temperature Range Adjustable from ambient to +50°C/+122°F (Option ACC03 increases temperature range from ambient to +60°C/+140°F) Salt Spray Fall-Out Rates Adjustable from 0.5 to 2.5 ml per 80 cm2 per hour Wetting Mode Adjust
