For most artifical accelerated tests in laboratory, getting a consistent testing results with outdoor is the most important purpose. Prior to cyclic corrosion testing, conventional salt spray (a continuous salt spray at 35˚C), was the most popular way to simulate corrosion in a lab.  Because conventional salt spray methods failed to simulate the natural wet/dry cycles of the outdoors, test results frequently provided poor correlation to outdoors. In order to better simulate the complex and changeable external natural environment, cyclic corrosion test has gradually been considered as an important and effective method for the life assessment of industrial products.

The Cyclic Corrosion Test Cabinets is also called CCT&CRH Cabinets. Some industrial products need to be exposed to repeated cyclic salt spray, dry and static environment with high humidity and low humidity. These tests were initially switched between several test chambers manually. The multi-functional Cyclic Corrosion Test Cabinets solves this problem well, and realizes the automatic test of these cycles in a chamber.

In a typical cyclic corrosion cabinets, all specimens are exposed to a series of different environments in a repetitive cycle that simulates the outdoors.  Simple cycles, such as Prohesion, may consist of cycling between salt fog and dry conditions.  More sophisticated automotive methods may ask for multi-step cycles that incorporate humidity, dry air or condensation, along with salt spray and dry-off.  

Within one chamber,users can cycle easily through a series of the most significant corrosion environments.  Even extremely complex test cycles can easily be programmed with the controller. Biuged CCT&CRH Cabinets can perform salt spray, Prohesion, and 100% humidity for most cyclic automotive tests.

The Cyclic Corrosion Test Cabinets developed and produced by Biuged sets and controls various parameters through the touch screen, and combines multiple tests such as salt spray corrosion, humidity (high temperature and high humidity, low temperature and low humidity), air drying (hot drying and air drying) to simulate a variety of cyclic corrosion tests. Of course, special cyclic corrosion test can also be simulated through the combination of other accessories. The instrument can also conduct neutral salt spray test (NSS), acetic acid salt spray test (AASS), copper accelerated acetic acid salt spray test (CASS), water spray test, damp heat test, drying test and standard atmospheric environment test separately.

2. Spray Fog System

◆ Spray Solution Supply System: The configured spray solution is stored in the water tank (external type, volume of about 300L), and the spray solution in the water tank is absorbed by the peristaltic pump and supplied to the nozzle. Each nozzle can independently control the supply amount of spray solution. This design avoids nozzle crystallization caused by the traditional siphon spray method. 

◆ Spray Amount Adjustment System: Self-developed patented technology to precisely adjust the spray amount.

①The peristaltic pump is used to precisely control the flow of spray solution, and the high-precision stepping motor drives the peristaltic pump to work. The operator can adjust the spray solution supply according to the required spray amount, so as to achieve constant spray amount control and water saving.

②The spray pressure of the nozzle can be precisely controlled by the coordinated secondary voltage control, which can achieve the precision atomization and spray the salt fog to the working room to ensure the uniform settlement of the spray solution.

③The spray amount adjustment baffle is installed above the nozzle, and its opening can be adjusted to control the spray amount.

◆ Spray Nozzle: Self-developed patented anti-blocking nozzle, which is made of pure titanium corrosion resistant material, and it can control the spray amount and angle.

◆ Spray Amount Monitoring: On the left and right sides of the working room, two Φ100mm fog collectors are installed at 170mm away from the cabinet wall and about 1/3 of the height from the bottom of the cabinet. The end of the funnel is extended to the outside of the cabinet with a hose. A measuring cylinder with a volume of 50ml is installed on the outer wall of the cabinet to monitor the spray fog amount.

◆ Spray Fog or Drain-away Fog：Spray fog can be done by manual or setting a program. Draining-away fog also can be run by manual or setting a program (feed fresh compressed air to working room then drain away the fog of the working room quickly).

◆ Saturation Pressure Barrel: Also called air filtration heating pressure barrel, it is welded with SUS304# stainless steel, which is used to ensure that the compressed saturated air used for spray is pure and constant temperature. The pressure barrel is designed with a water level control device, a heating device and a temperature control system. At the same time, a circle of compressed air overflow fine holes are uniformly drilled at the bottom of the pressure barrel. The barrel is connected to the oil-water separator of the compressed air source and the pressure regulating valve of the compressed air source. After the compressed air is adjusted to the required pressure, it enters the heating pressure barrel, then enters the water in the pressure barrel through the fine hole at the bottom. Then it becomes the bubbles overflow that supplies the spray nozzle from the top of the pressure barrel. There is a water level probe near the bottom and near the top of the pressure barrel, which can realize automatic water supply and keep the water level of the barrel constant in the specified range. At the same time, the saturation tower has the function of liquid level monitoring and liquid level limit alarm.
