Part 1 of Q-Lab's 3-Part Summer Webinar Series 

Continuous salt spray tests like ASTM B117 and ISO 9227 have been used for over 100 years to evaluate the corrosion resistance of materials. Despite the development of more sophisticated modern standards, these tests remain very popular - they are simple to run and can provide valuable pass/fail and comparative test data.

In this webinar, Q-Lab's technical experts will present in-depth how to perform ASTM B117 - Standard Practice for Operating Salt Spray (Fog) Apparatus in our Q-FOG cyclic corrosion testers. Through a combination of a short slide presentation, followed by a live demonstration from the showroom at Q-Lab's world headquarters, we will cover;

• Major Q-FOG tester features including required utilities, bubble tower, solution pump, and fog generation nozzles
• Test preparation, including specimen mounting, salt solution preparation, and tester programming
• Performing fog collections, including tips for meeting both volume and salinity requirements
• The use of reference coupons to monitor test performance
• Maintenance and calibration best practices to ensure optimal test performance

Join the Q-Lab team for this practical, hands-on tutorial for running the world's most common corrosion test standard, ASTM B117. Our team will be on hand to answer any questions you may have during the session as well.

This webinar will be presented in English.
