Presto designs and manufactures the Rust Testing Chamber for testing the corrosion resistance of surface coatings. The test is performed to determine the consequence when exposed to a salt laden environment. The test determines the rust proof ability of a component to resist corrosion caused by environmental conditions. The machine efficiently replicates the real environmental conditions. The user-friendly features allow the user to adjust the testing temperature from ambient to +45°C. There is a PLC controlled PID to control the temperature of the chamber. The touch screen tool in the machine is helpful that simplifies the testing procedures.
The rust testing chamber is specially designed to perform the quality control tests in laboratories as comparative testing is essential in labs. A transparent cover provides constant direct visual observation of the test item, and this helps in optimization of testing inspection. The double wall chamber is fitted with a glass wool insulation that ensures the correct and reliable test results complying with the international standard of testing. The air flow meter incorporated to regulate the air flow from 0 to 30 Psi and an air jacket heating system is also equipped for even and reliable operation.
The touch screen is considered a useful tool with built in PT 100 sensor. There are eight function keys, a 3 M flash memory, and for a USB flash drive, a USB host is also provided. The testing procedure is highly efficient for both stress tests and corrosion tests. These tests are based on several international standards that require automatic water control and dry air. There are some standard accessories like gauges, cyclic timer, air purging, a regulator, and time totalizer are provided along with the racks.
