Overview
Cyclic Corrosion Chamber Modes of Operation
Ascott’s Cyclic Corrosion Chamber advanced control system gives great flexibility. The customer can comply to a wide range of different cyclic corrosion test specifications, due to the extensive range of accessories that can be added to a chamber. As standard they come with the ability to create 6 distinct functions to create the most common corrosive environment:
- Salt Spray Fog
- Condensation humidity (wetting)
- Forced Air drying
- Controlled humidity (see adjacent graph)
- Ambient Drying
- Temperature Only Control
FEATURES
- Low loading threshold for ergonomic loading and unloading.
- ‘Easy Open’ pneumatically operated canopy, with safety interlock.
- Dry seal gasket to prevent wetting the operator’s clothes.
- Timed canopy lock and automatic purge of the cabinet interior with fresh air after testing and before the chamber is opened.
- Easily accessible salt spray atomizer(s) in transparent hard-wearing acrylic, for ease of maintenance.
- External portable salt solution tank for ease of cleaning. 73L for 450L Chambers and 90L for 1000L Chambers and above.
- Central viewing window for unimpeded visual access to chamber interior and test material.
- Base castors and integrated fork lift truck runners, for ease of transportation.
- Choice of canopy colour.
- Calibration certificate.
- Consumables spares kit.
- Fallout Measuring Kit
- Intuitive 7” full colour touch-screen controller, employing the latest version of our highly intuitive operating software, for ease of programming and use.
- The operating software has a very large capacity memory for 254 multi-step cyclic programmes, 200 sub programmes and 254 single step/single set point programmes can be created and stored in the controller’s system memory, so that the widest possible range of test profiles can be accommodated.
- The icon based control interface offers a variety of languages built-in for ease of understanding and use.
- RJ45 communications port enabling the chamber to be wired or wireless connection to a local area network (LAN) for logging and remote programming via a computer running optional software.
- A real-time, user configurable ‘clock’ to enable different test samples to be batched and have their exposure time monitored separately, with alarms to warn when a pre-set test period has been completed.

Color
9 standard colours to choose from free of charge
Temperature range
Adjustable from -20°C/ -4°F to +70°C/+158°F (Dependant on accessories ordered)
Salt spray fall-out rates
Adjustable from 0.5 to 5.5 ml per 80 cm² per hour (Dependant on accessories ordered)
Electricity supply
3 phase
Voltage (VAC) and frequency (Hz) dependant on country/region of installation
Water
Deionized/distilled for topping up air saturator and making salt solution. Air saturator requires a continuous water connection 2.5-5.0 bar (36-72 psi). If ACC42 is ordered the continuous water supply must be pressuried 4.0 – 5.0 bar (58-72 psi). If air saturator is topped up manually option ACC66 must be ordered.
Air
Clean dry & oil free, 4.0 to 6.0 bar (58-87psi) with 240 Ltrs (8.5cu.ft) per minute flow
Exhaust
Exhaust – 3m (10ft) exhaust pipe is required which should be terminated outside building (see accessory ACC58)
Drain
3m (10ft) drain pipe is required which should be terminated into floor level drain (see accessory ACC58)
Operating environment conditions
+18 to +23°C (+64 to 73°F), 85% max RH (non condensing) ambient.
