M Series Size 15-L Salt Fog Chamber


The Auto Technology Series M Size 15-L is a compact, laboratory-scale salt spray chamber designed for ASTM B117, ISO 9227, and related global salt fog standards. With a smaller footprint suited for R&D labs and low-volume testing programs, the 15-L delivers the same water-jacketed durability, stable temperature control, and uniform fog distribution found in larger Series M systems. Standard, high-profile, and low-profile configurations are available, along with optional packages for CASS, SO₂, humidity conditioning, and cyclic corrosion testing workflows.

Description

Auto Technology M Series Size 15-L Salt Spray Chamber (12 ft³ / 339 L) is a compact laboratory corrosion chamber designed for programs that require ASTM B117 salt fog testing in a smaller, highly controlled test environment. Frequently used in research labs, coatings development programs, and electronics testing facilities, the Size 15-L provides the same water-jacketed thermal stability and fog uniformity used across the full Series M platform, while minimizing laboratory footprint.

Manufactured in Ohio and operated daily in Auto Technology’s own A2LA-accredited corrosion laboratory, the M Series Size 15-L salt spray chamber delivers repeatable environmental control for ASTM B117 salt fog testing and other global corrosion standards. The system provides stable temperature control, consistent fog generation, and long-term durability for laboratories that require reliable, standards-driven corrosion testing equipment.

Designed for ASTM B117 Salt Fog Testing and Global Salt Spray Standards

The Size 15-L M Series chamber supports the core neutral salt spray and salt fog test methods used worldwide for corrosion evaluation of metals, coatings, connectors, and plated components. Its indirect water-jacket heating system, bubble-tower humidification, and engineered airflow distribution allow laboratories to maintain stable chamber conditions and verify salt fog collection rates across the exposure zone.

Common standards supported include:

  • ASTM B117 — Standard Practice for Operating Salt Spray (Fog) Apparatus
  • ISO 9227 — NSS / AASS neutral salt spray testing
  • MIL-STD-810 Method 509.7 — Salt fog environmental testing
  • ASTM G85 A1 — Acetic acid salt spray
  • BMW AA-0213
  • Jaguar TPJLR.52.252 / TPJLR.52.253
  • Nissan MES-M0007 5.22
  • EIA 364-31 — Electrical connector corrosion testing
  • JIS Z 2371 — Neutral salt spray testing
  • VW 80000 K-06 / K-07
  • GB/T 10125
  • IEC 60068-2-11
  • MIL-STD-202 Method 101
  • ISO 7253
  • ISO 9022-4
  • and additional global corrosion test methods

Optional packages allow the chamber to support additional corrosion environments such as **CASS testing, Kesternich SO₂ exposure, high-humidity corrosion tests, and modified salt spray procedures.**

Optional Corrosion Test Packages

Factory-installed upgrades allow laboratories to expand the capabilities of the Size 15-L chamber beyond neutral salt fog exposure.

  • ASTM G85 A2, A3, A4 modified salt spray tests
  • ASTM B368 — Copper Accelerated Acetic Acid Salt Spray (CASS)
  • ASTM G85 A5 / JIS H 8502
  • DIN 50018 — Kesternich SO₂ gas corrosion testing
  • ASTM D2247 — High humidity corrosion testing

These options allow the chamber to support a wider range of coatings qualification programs and OEM corrosion durability specifications.

Available Chamber Configurations

  • C100015-L — Low-profile configuration (12 ft³ / 339 L) for easier reach-in loading

These configurations allow laboratories to optimize chamber working height while maintaining the same corrosion exposure environment.
