ASTM B117 Salt Spray Corrosion Test Standard

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM B117 testing. The ASTM B117 Salt Spray Corrosion Test is a salt spray test used to produce relative corrosion resistance information for metal and coated metal specimens exposed to a standard corrosive environment.

ASTM B117 Salt Spray Corrosion Test Standard

The Salt Spray Corrosion Test ASTM B117 is primarily used to compare the corrosion resistance of painted or metal coated specimens. The test has been used for almost 100 years and has been standardized as ASTM B1939 since 117. Described as the salt fog or salt spray test, this test is a very popular corrosion test designed to provide corrosion resistance information on metals and coated metals.

ASTM B117 is not a test specification per se. Instead, it outlines standard practice for operating salt spray (fog) apparatus. ASTM B117 is a document that specifies the parameters and requirements for operating a salt spray test chamber. Specifies how to create and maintain a salt fog test environment so that results are consistently available from lab to lab and room to room.

ASTM B117 does not state anything about the type, dimensions, shape, or exposure times of the test sample to be used for a particular product and does not contain any requirements or guidance for interpretation of results.

It should be understood that the correlation of corrosive results resulting from ASTM B117's exposure to real-world conditions is also not part of this test standard and is difficult to predict. ASTM B117 is used in many fields such as Automotive (example: SAE J14563, GM 4298P…), Paints and Coatings, Aerospace and Military (MIL-STD-810).

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
