What kind of samples can you test for ASTM B117?

Typically when testing parts for the ASTM B117, samples are submitted in multiples for validation and comparison purposes. While the parts are in the corrosion test chamber, they are usually angled between 15 to 30 degrees from vertical orientation. The duration of the test varies depending on the type of coating on the part. Customers should have the capability to perform complementary evaluations and preconditioning for the samples submitted, both before and after testing, such as the following:
Masking of portions of samples not to be exposed
ASTM D1654 (Scribe and Evaluations)
ASTM D610 (Degree of Rust)
ASTM D714 (Degree of Paint Blistering)

What services do you offer to precondition the samples?
JOEO factory follow customer test samples to design the suitable customize salt spray test chamber. Prior to ASTM B117 Salt Spray we typically scribe the samples IAW ASTM D1654 . We can also expose the samples to gravel bombardment per SAE J400, GMW 14700 and others. These are some of the most common pre-conditions to exposure to ASTM B117.
