Accelerated Weathering Products

Atlas® BCX

Designed for Basic Cyclic testing, which automatically switches from Fogging to Dry-off conditions. With installed optional upgrades, can also provide Gas Injection, Direct Spray (impingement) of sample surfaces, and High Temperature (71° C).

Standard sizes from 565 l to 3115 l / 20 ft³ to 110 ft³

Lab Corrosion Testing Equipment

Innovative Lab Corrosion Testing

Manufacturers routinely test individual components, subassemblies, randomly selected production pieces and finished goods. Suppliers to the automotive and other industries must perform validation testing for corrosion resistance. Governments and consumer advocate associations perform lab corrosion tests to determine value, consumer safety, contractual and regulatory compliance, and military specifications.

Tests are often selected because they replicate the 'worst case' environmental conditions that cause corrosion. This provides data that helps assess the probability of material degradation in the real world. Many environmental conditions can be replicated and automatically cycled in an Atlas lab corrosion testing cabinet.

Depending on the sophistication of the selected test method, Atlas has a cabinet designed to provide accurate, repeatable results. All Atlas lab corrosion testing cabinets can be optionally equipped with:

■ Extra height, extra length, extra width

■ Pass-through electrical or mechanical ports to test samples under load

■ External Condensate Collection System

■ Spare Parts Kit and Start-up Kit

■ Air-assisted Cover Lifters

■ Wide variety of holders for just about any size and shape of sample

Atlas® SF

Still very popular and most often used for quick determination of corrosion resistance, SF cabinets are designed for ASTM B117 and similar traditional salt fog (spray) and humidity tests.

■ Standard sizes from 420 l to 3680 l / 15 ft³ to 130 ft³

■ Waist level access at no extra charge

■ Double-wall steel cabinet, clear cover

■ Test Temperature to 50° C

Fiberglas™ construction - durable, non-corrosive, non-magnetic, non-conductive

Clear cover (BCX9000 has opaque polypropylene cover)

Design provides maximum testing volume with minimum floor space

Test Temperature to 55° C

Atlas CCX

The most advanced, versatile lab corrosion testing cabinets available in the world. The Atlas CCX is capable of replicating and automatically cycling between more environmental conditions than any other cabinet. The sophistication of controls and engineered design provides exacting performance to test standards from around the world - ensuring repeatability, reproducibility and correlation to real world environments.

Advanced lab corrosion testing cabinets are more likely to provide the materials engineer with closer correlation of test results to outdoor environments, thereby allowing greater confidence in design and materials selection.

■ Standard sizes from 565 l to 3115 l / 20 ft³ to 110 ft³

■ Fiberglas™ construction - durable, non-corrosive, non-magnetic, non-conductive

■ Clear cover (CCX9000 has opaque polypropylene cover)

■ Design provides maximum testing volume with minimum floor space

■ Test temperature to 71° C

Optional Upgrades to CCX:

■ Computer Controls

■ Controlled/Adjustable RH

■ High Temp to 90° C

■ Low Temp to -30° C

■ Immersion

■ Direct Spray

■ Gas Injection
