C262880-S – 6° Slotted Polypropylene Panel Support Bar, 29 in. (74 cm) for MIL-STD-810 & Aerospace Corrosion Testing
$384.00
Slotted polypropylene panel support bar designed to hold standard 3″ x 6″ and 4″ x 12″ test panels at a controlled 6° angle from vertical during corrosion testing. Ideal for MIL-STD-810, ASTM B117, NADCAP, and other aerospace laboratory applications where repeatable panel geometry and controlled runoff matter.
This 29 in. (74 cm) bar features precision-cut slots on both sides and a central drainage channel to help reduce pooling and support consistent exposure conditions. Commonly used in M Series chambers, but it can also be integrated into custom support arrangements.
Made to order. This is not a stock item, so lead times may be longer. Color is typically black, but may vary depending on material availability.
Description
6° Slotted Polypropylene Panel Support Bar, 29 in., for Aerospace and MIL-SPEC Corrosion Testing
The C262880-S is a slotted polypropylene panel support bar designed for laboratories and manufacturers that need a practical, repeatable way to position corrosion test panels at a controlled 6° angle from vertical inside the chamber exposure zone.
This geometry is commonly used in aerospace and defense corrosion programs where consistent specimen orientation, repeatable runoff, and controlled panel spacing are important to test execution. The bar includes precision 1.8 mm (0.07 in.) saw-cut slots on both sides at 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) spacing, along with a central drainage channel to help manage solution runoff during exposure.
Key Features
- Controlled 6° angle from vertical for repeatable panel positioning
- Fits standard 3″ x 6″ and 4″ x 12″ panels
- Central drainage channel helps reduce pooling and manage runoff
- Polypropylene construction suitable for corrosive chamber environments
- Slots on both sides for flexible panel loading
- 29 in. (74 cm) overall length
Typical Applications
This support bar is well suited for corrosion programs involving:
- MIL-STD-810 salt fog and related environmental testing
- ASTM B117 salt spray testing
- NADCAP and aerospace laboratory corrosion programs
- Qualification work for aerospace coatings, plated parts, fasteners, and panels
- Test setups where repeatable panel angle and runoff behavior are required
M Series Chamber Compatibility
When used with the standard M Series ladder racks, you can fit up to:
- M Series 15: 4 bars
- M Series 21: 8 bars
- M Series 22: 10 bars
Flexible Setup Options
Although commonly used with the M Series ladder rack, these bars can also be configured in other ways when supported on angles, shelves, or custom rack structures. That makes them useful for labs that need to adapt specimen loading to chamber geometry, part size, or internal support hardware.
Important Ordering Notes
- Made to order: this is not a stocked part
- Lead times may be longer depending on production schedule and quantity
- Color is typically black, but may vary based on material availability
If you need a longer version for larger chambers, see C262890-S.
