ASTM B117 / ISO 9227 5% Salt Solution – 55 Gallon Drum – P/N C173300

$180.00

Stop mixing salt solution. This pre-mixed 5% sodium chloride solution for ASTM B117 and ISO 9227 eliminates operator variability, reduces setup time, and helps ensure repeatable salt fog corrosion test results.

Need Dry Salt Instead of Pre-Mixed Solution?

For laboratories that prefer to mix their own solution in-house, see our standard ASTM B117 sodium chloride salt. It is a cost-effective option for internal QC, R&D, and routine corrosion testing where lot-specific certification is not required.

  • Ready to use — no mixing required
  • Improves repeatability for long-duration testing
  • Reduces contamination & concentration risk

Description

Pre-Mixed 5% Salt Solution for ASTM B117 & ISO 9227 (55 Gallon Drum)

Stop wasting time mixing salt solution — and eliminate one of the biggest sources of test variability.

This pre-mixed 5% sodium chloride solution is designed for laboratories running ASTM B117 and ISO 9227 salt fog testing who need repeatable, defensible results without operator-dependent mixing errors.

Delivered ready to use in a 55-gallon drum, this solution removes guesswork, reduces labor, and helps ensure consistent test conditions across long-duration corrosion exposures.

Why this matters:

If your salt concentration or solution quality is inconsistent, your corrosion results are inconsistent. That leads to bad data, failed validation, and wasted test time.

Why Labs Switch to Pre-Mixed Solution

  • Eliminates mixing variability between operators and batches
  • Removes concentration risk that can affect test outcomes
  • Saves technician time on every test setup
  • Improves repeatability across long exposures (500–2000+ hours)
  • Reduces contamination risk from handling and storage

In-House Mixing vs Pre-Mixed Solution

Factor In-House Mixing ATC Pre-Mixed
Concentration Accuracy Operator dependent Controlled
Repeatability Variable Consistent
Labor Time High Zero
Contamination Risk High Low

Applications

  • ASTM B117 salt spray testing
  • ISO 9227 neutral salt spray testing
  • Automotive corrosion validation (OEM & supplier testing)
