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.
