Are you continuously facing the challenge of poor durability of materials against wetting/condensation? Are your metal products not able to perform well in salt-laden environments? If yes, then it is important for you to test the products accurately against corrosion. This can be done with the help of the right lab testing instrument known as a cyclic test chamber – CYKO. This is one of the high-quality lab testing equipment that is used to test the corrosion resistance properties of surface coatings of different materials.
This highly standardized lab testing equipment can accurately perform different types of tests like neutral salt spray tests, salt spray and wetting/condensation humidity (SWAAT) or salt spray and air drying (PROHESION) tests. In this blog, we will discuss a brief about the Presto salt spray testing instrument CYKO model and its highly advanced features. We will also discuss why it is important to test the corrosion-resistance properties of the materials.
Introduction to Presto Cyclic Test Chamber- CYKO
Metals are commonly used in various industries and applications due to their desirable properties such as strength, conductivity, and durability. However, one major concern when using metals is their vulnerability to corrosion. This will not only lead to product damage but also lead to high product rejection rates.
Thus, we at Presto have designed a high-quality lab testing instrument known as a cyclic test chamber-CYKO that is used to test the corrosion resistance properties of the materials and ensure that quality materials will be delivered to the customers.
This quality testing equipment has been designed as per industry standards that include ASTM B117, JIS Z 2371, ISO 9227, and various international test standards. This will ensure accuracy in testing results.
Now, let us discuss the features of Presto cyclic test chamber-CYKO.
