2Scope / Description

This test is suitable for comparing the salt spray corrosion resistance of specimens with similar structures. This test is also suitable for assessing the quality and uniformity of protective coatings. When using, the following limitations should be considered; a) This test is not suitable for general salt spray. b) This test is also not applicable to the evaluation of single specimens used in saline atmospheres. For equipment and components, test Kb provides test conditions and evaluation methods for individual samples that are more consistent with actual conditions. However, if in some cases, in order to ensure quality, the relevant specifications require this test method to be used on individual samples, the sample should be tested as a whole assembly or part of the equipment together with the actual protective equipment (box, cover, jacket, etc.) .
