Ascott Alpha+ basic salt spray test cabinets for common corrosion test standards. Designed to appeal to the modern test laboratory who want affordable equipment that is:

1. Easy to install
2. Simple to operate
3. Reliable in service 

The Alpha+ range complies with the most popular international standards for corrosion testing, including salt spray standards: ASTM B117, ISO 9227, DIN 50 021 and JIS Z 2371.

• A range of 4 salt spray cabinets
• Two sizes, with either 500 or 1000 Litre internal capacities (16.6 / 35.3 cu ft).
• S series for short-term NSS tests less than 240 hours
• SP series for continuous NSS testing

Common Design Features:

• 3.5” Full colour touch screen control system with temperature graphical and digital display
• Manufactured from a robust glass reinforced plastic (GRP) construction, combined with other non-corroding materials, to guarantee a trouble free long life.
• Transparent, domed roof providing unimpeded 360° viewing of the cabinet interior.
• Latching roof stay for ease of loading.
• Self-regenerating water trap seal, preventing salt fog escaping during operation.
• Ergonomically positioned menu driven touch screen controller for comfortable and intuitive control.
• Timed stop facility and hours run counter.
• Maximised cross-sectional load area, enabling a large number of samples to be tested at any one time, without compromising ergonomics.
• Supplied with complimentary corrosion proof sample holders.
• Internal base loading platform available as an optional accessory for large/heavy objects to be located in the base of the cabinet.

S500 & S1000 salt spray cabinets

Key Features:

• Designed specifically for short-terms tests (up to 240 hours duration).
• Cabinet heated by externally mounted heater mats, protecting them against damage from the corrosive climate inside the cabinet, also ensuring uniform heat distribution inside the cabinet.
• Heated bubble tower humidifies the compressed air en-route to the salt fog atomiser, in full compliance with international test standards.
• Bubble tower can be topped up with water automatically, or by hand via the manual filler port.
• Utilises the atomisers’ venturi effect combined with the air pressure regulator and gauge to deliver a uniform and continuous fall-out of salt fog on to the samples under test.
• Supplied with a 90L external salt water solution tank.
• The all plastic atomiser has an integral filter in addition to a filter on the reservoir feed pipe to prevent salt crystal build-up blocking the outlet nozzle and disrupting the test.
• Cabinets can be operated with a wet or dry base.
• Optional insulated roof blanket, offering greater thermal efficiency is available.
