Conventional salt spray tests were used to simulate corrosion in a laboratory but did not mimic the natu-ral wet/dry cycles present outdoors, resulting in a low correlation with the effects of weathering. Instead, the Q-FOG cyclic corrosion chamber exposes samples to a series of different environments in a repetiti-ve cycle that mimics the effects of weathering, including simple cycles between salt spray and dry condi-tions or more sophisticated cycles incorporating humidity or condensation.

The Q-FOG chamber allows for the easy programming of extremely complex test cycles through its con-troller.
