MX-9208
Benchtop
The unique features of the salt spray test chamber, allows you better observation and access to your corrosion testing. The construction is made of high-quality Lucite®️ plexiglass on five sides making it the only 360-degree view into the chamber workspace.
Completely self-contained, the MX Series salt spray chambers allow for test items to be subjected to a corrosive environment without introducing other contaminants into the test area.
STANDARDS. The standard MX-9208 salt spray test chamber has an atomizing nozzle that can be factory set to be compliant with the following standards:
- ASTM-B117
- MIL-STD-202H
- MIL-STD-750F
- MIL-STD-810H
- MIL-STD-883K, with optional modification
- MIL-STD-19500, with optional modification
HEATING SYSTEM. To ensure temperature uniformity in the test workspace, the unit uses two separate RTD sensors. One for holding and conditioning incoming water to an accurate 45.5°C (113.9°F). As the water is mixed with the salt solution and atomized the temperature falls. In the product workspace, a second RTD sensor holds the ambient temperature at a steady 35°C (95°F) as the fog fills the workspace.
Salt Spray chambers are commonly used to evaluate the corrosive properties of:
- Phosphated surfaces (with subsequent paint/primer/lacquer/rust preventive)
- Zinc and Zinc-alloy plating (see also electroplating)
- Electroplated chromium, nickel, copper and tin
- Coatings not applied electrolytically (such as zinc flake coatings)
- Organic Coatings
- Paint Coatings
INSTRUMENTATION. MX-9208 Test Chamber incorporates AESONE CONNECT creating a robust connected device giving you a standard and uniform interface that makes operation easier. Learn more in the Instrumentation Tab below.

*Ideal ambient temperature conditions for test chambers is 23°C (73.4°F). The temperature and humidity range of assured performance is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F/77°F) and 30-50% relative humidity. Conditions outside this range may affect the performance of your test chamber and reduce the lifespan of the equipment.
