Description
29-Inch Corrosion Test Panel Support Bar with 6° Slots
The Auto Technology C262880-S is a 29-inch slotted polypropylene support bar for positioning compatible corrosion test panels at a controlled 6° angle from vertical. It provides laboratories and manufacturers with a repeatable panel arrangement for salt spray, salt fog, aerospace, and MIL-SPEC corrosion testing.
Each side of the bar contains 0.09375-inch-wide saw-cut slots arranged on 1.625-inch spacing. A channel through the center of the bar provides a drainage path for solution running off the specimens during chamber exposure.

Corrosion Testing Applications
This support bar can be used to position panels and coupons for corrosion testing programs involving:
- MIL-STD-810 salt fog exposure
- ASTM B117 salt spray testing
- NADCAP and aerospace laboratory corrosion programs
- Evaluation of coatings, plated panels, fasteners, and related specimens
- Test arrangements requiring consistent panel angle, separation, and runoff
The support bar helps establish the specimen arrangement; suitability and compliance remain dependent on the applicable test method and complete chamber setup.
M Series Chamber Capacity
When installed on standard M Series ladder racks, the following quantities can be accommodated:
- M Series 15: Up to 4 support bars
- M Series 21: Up to 8 support bars
- M Series 22: Up to 10 support bars
Installation Options
In addition to M Series ladder racks, the C262880-S can be supported by compatible chamber angles, shelves, or custom rack structures. The selected arrangement must provide stable support while maintaining the required specimen placement within the exposure zone.
