Installation and Maintenance of Salt Spray Test Chamber
April 18,2022
The maintenance of the salt spray test chamber is directly related to improving the service performance and prolonging the service life of the equipment. We have accumulated many years of experience and summarized the daily maintenance experience of the salt spray test chamber for your reference.
Precautions for installation of the salt spray test chamber
- Power supply: 220V, 50Hz; (applicable to jy-60-ss, jy-90-bs, etc.) if jy-120-nsjy-160-nsjy-200-ns, AC380V ± 10% 50Hz shall be used, which shall be confirmed with Wuhan Lanrui when ordering.
- The salt mist chamber is placed about 50cm away from the wall Appropriate maintenance space shall be reserved on the left and right sides It is an independent place because the salt spray box itself is corrosive test equipment to avoid affecting the surrounding equipment.
- Please install another fuse-free switch or knife switch before the main power line of the salt spray test chamber.
- Salt mist chamber can be discharged through outdoor PVC pipes. Pay attention to the installation of the spray tube and tilt straight from the height of the machine nozzle.
- The installation position of the salt spray test chamber shall avoid direct sunlight to avoid affecting the test conditions.
- The installation position of the salt spray test chamber shall not be close to other electrical equipment or inflammable as far as possible to avoid danger.
- The salt spray test chamber is made of PVC plastic to prevent a collision. The service temperature shall not exceed the test standard range to avoid deformation due to overheating. All standardized salt spray boxes are neutral salt spray tests, with box temperature of 37 ℃ and saturation barrel temperature of 47 ℃. If the customer needs a Cass test, the box temperature is 50 ℃ and saturation barrel temperature is 63 ℃, which needs to be explained before leaving the factory, and the manufacturer can replace it with a PP plate for the Cass test.
- Salt mist chamber must have a gas supply system, so there must be an air compressor. The purchase requirements are discharge pressure: more than 8 kg volume flow: more than 0.12m3/min, the market is divided into two kinds of noise and no noise, the same, but can be selected according to the actual needs and budget of the customer.
Maintenance of salt spray test chamber
- At present, the salt spray test chamber is mainly made of salt and purified water (or distilled water and deionized water). These salt solutions do great harm to materials and the human body in the test process, especially when the salt spray is sprayed outward in the salt spray corrosion test process. Do not open the cover without special necessity, and carefully regulate the operation to ensure safety.
- After the salt spray test chamber is used, if the next test is not carried out immediately, the water in the chamber shall be drained immediately and the inner wall of the chamber shall be wiped dry to avoid scaling. Because the jaws of the equipment are often used, the small piston will be damaged and leak oil after easy wear and excessive oxidation. Therefore, the jaws should be cleaned frequently and kept clean (cleaned after each test). Each testing machine should be inspected regularly, and the maintenance of the salt spray corrosion test chamber is also often needed.
- Frequently check the screws at the jaw. If they are loose, tighten them in time. Frequently check the transmission of the sprocket. If it is found to be loose, please re-tension the tensioning wheel. Pay attention to whether the rear board of the controller is in good contact. If the test chamber is not used for a long time, the controller shall be closed and the controller interface shall be correct. If the interface is incorrect, the equipment will be damaged.
