Description

6° Slotted Panel Support Bars for Aerospace Corrosion Testing

These slotted polypropylene panel support bars are designed to provide a repeatable 6° angle from vertical for corrosion test panels inside the chamber exposure zone. This controlled geometry is commonly used in aerospace and defense laboratories where panel orientation, runoff behavior, and consistency across test runs directly impact results.

Unlike generic panel holders, these bars are built specifically for standards-driven corrosion testing environments, where maintaining consistent specimen positioning is critical for internal procedures, audit readiness, and long-term data comparability.

—

  • Panels must remain continuously wetted without excessive pooling
  • Runoff behavior must be consistent across all specimens
  • Variability between racks, operators, and test runs must be minimized

While many specifications define allowable mounting ranges, laboratories often standardize around a fixed angle like 6° to ensure repeatability, internal consistency, and audit clarity.

Key Features

  • 6° from vertical slot geometry for consistent panel positioning
  • Precision 1.8 mm (0.07 in.) slots on both sides
  • 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) slot spacing for standard panel layouts
  • Central drainage channel to manage solution runoff
  • Polypropylene construction for corrosion resistance
  • Supports 3″ x 6″ and 4″ x 12″ panels

Built for Controlled Geometry — Not Generic Panel Holding

These bars are designed specifically for laboratories that require consistent specimen angle and repeatable runoff behavior. If you’re currently using flat racks or inconsistent supports, this is one of the easiest ways to reduce variability in your corrosion testing.

Available Sizes

Model Length Typical Chamber Use

C262880-S
 29 in. (74 cm) M Series 15, 21, 22

C262890-S
 41 in. (104 cm) M Series 23 and larger configurations

M Series Chamber Integration

These bars are commonly used with M Series ladder racks and span the full depth of the exposure zone. This allows for consistent panel spacing and orientation across the entire rack.

  • C262880-S: up to 4–10 bars depending on chamber size
  • C262890-S: up to 20 bars in larger configurations

—

Flexible Configuration Options

In addition to ladder rack use, these bars can be configured on:

  • Angle supports
  • Shelf systems
  • Custom rack assemblies

This flexibility allows labs to adapt panel layouts to part geometry, test requirements, and chamber configuration.

—

Typical Applications

  • Aerospace coating validation
  • Fastener and hardware qualification
  • MIL-STD-810 corrosion testing programs
  • NADCAP-accredited laboratory workflows
  • Internal corrosion benchmarking and comparison testing
