Salt Spray Test Plan Builder

Turn “salt spray 240 hours” into a test request that a laboratory and supplier can actually interpret.

Define the test and the acceptance rule separately

ASTM B117 and ISO 9227 NSS describe test environments. They do not set a universal pass/fail duration for every coating. The drawing, customer specification or agreed control plan must define the corrosion type, affected area and acceptance time.

Do not convert chamber hours into outdoor service life

  • Salt-spray hours are a comparative quality-control result, not “years outdoors”.
  • State whether the criterion is white corrosion, red rust, blistering or affected area.
  • Define significant surfaces, edges, threads and whether a scribe is required.
