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.
