A Series Size 20 Cyclic Corrosion Chamber

The Auto Technology A Series Size 20 is an entry-level cyclic corrosion chamber providing ~20 ft³ (594 L) of usable test volume. Positioned below the X Series research platform, it is engineered with touchscreen controls and basic solution spray capabilities for foundational testing such as SAE J2334 with spray.

  • Usable Volume: ~20 ft³ / 594 L (lid volume excluded from capacity)
  • Control Interface: 6-inch color touchscreen for routine cycle execution
  • Testing Scope: Limited to basic cyclic workflows and foundational spray protocols
  • Series Guidance: Use M or C Series for steady-state salt spray; use X Series for advanced multi-stage OEM standards requiring full PC control and immersion.

Chambers are custom-built to order. Contact us to verify your standard and utility requirements.

Touchscreen Controls
6-inch color display for simplified method selection and routine operation.

Foundational Cyclic Scope
Configured for basic spray protocols and limited humidity steps.





Choosing the Right Chamber Series

Auto Technology provides structured chamber tiers to match specific testing standards. Selecting the correct series prevents over-specifying or hitting operational limitations:

  • M or C Series: Use these platforms if your test program is strictly limited to continuous, steady-state salt spray (e.g., ASTM B117).
  • A Series: Engineered for laboratories running limited cyclic testing (such as SAE J2334 with basic solution spray) that require touchscreen controls and basic humidity control, sitting directly below the X Series.
  • X Series: Required for advanced, highly rigorous multi-stage testing, precise climate control, automated immersion hardware, and complex OEM specifications requiring full PC control and broad customization.



A Series Size 20 System Scope

The A Series provides streamlined features for basic cyclic workflows:

Touchscreen Controls

6-inch color touchscreen interface utilized for straightforward method selection, routine cycle start-up, and status monitoring.

Basic Solution Spray

Supports direct impingement spraying of corrosive solution from the reservoir onto samples for entry-level cyclic exposure.

Limited Humidity Control

Offers basic moisture management for simple wet/dry transitions without the advanced atmospheric conditioning packages found on the X Series platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the A Series fit compared to the C and X Series?

The M and C Series are built strictly for steady-state salt spray. The A Series sits below the X Series, offering foundational cyclic testing (like SAE J2334 with spray) utilizing touchscreen controls and limited humidity. If your test demands advanced, multi-stage OEM specifications, automated immersion, or full PC research control, choose the X Series.

What testing scope is the A Series designed for?

The A Series is configured for limited, foundational cyclic testing protocols—such as SAE J2334 incorporating solution spray—where full multi-stage research capability is not required.

What control interface does the A Series use?

It features a 6-inch color touchscreen built for straightforward programming and daily cycle execution without complex PC software dependencies.

What is the usable internal volume of the Size 20 model?

The Size 20 provides ~20 ft³ (594 L) of usable specimen exposure volume, excluding lid volume from capacity metrics.
