6° Slotted Panel Support Bars / Rack for Aerospace Corrosion Testing (MIL-STD-810 & NADCAP Applications)

Slotted Polypropylene Support Bars for Corrosion Test Panels

Auto Technology slotted polypropylene support bars provide a consistent way to position compatible corrosion test panels inside a salt spray or salt fog chamber. The slots hold specimens at a controlled 6° angle from vertical, supporting repeatable panel orientation and solution runoff across the test arrangement.

Available in 29-inch and 41-inch lengths, these bars can be selected according to the chamber size, internal support system, and desired panel capacity. Both versions accommodate standard 3 × 6-inch and 4 × 12-inch corrosion test panels.

Available Lengths

• 29-inch support bar: Intended for compatible smaller chamber and rack configurations
• 41-inch support bar: Provides additional length for compatible larger chamber and rack configurations

Product Features

• Panel orientation: 6° from vertical
• Available lengths: 29 inches and 41 inches
• Compatible panel sizes: Standard 3 × 6-inch and 4 × 12-inch panels
• Material: Polypropylene
• Purpose: Consistent panel positioning, separation, and runoff during chamber exposure
• Configuration: Suitable for compatible ladder racks and other properly supported chamber arrangements

Aerospace and Defense Corrosion Testing

These support bars are commonly used in aerospace and defense laboratories where specimen orientation must remain consistent throughout a corrosion exposure. They can be incorporated into chamber setups used for MIL-STD-810 salt fog testing, NADCAP corrosion programs, ASTM B117 testing, and internal laboratory procedures.

Unlike general-purpose racks, the bars are made specifically to establish a defined panel angle and repeatable loading arrangement. This helps laboratories maintain consistent specimen placement between test runs without relying on improvised supports.
