Q-Fog CRH

Realistic

Cyclic corrosion testing provides the best possible laboratory simulation of natural corrosion. Current research indicates that cyclic corrosion testing results are similar to those from outdoor exposures in resulting structure, morphology, and relative corrosion rates. Prior to cyclic testing, conventional salt spray (a continuous salt spray at 35 ˚C) was the standard way to simulate corrosion in a lab. Although such tests have significant value for quality control and research and development, their failure to mimic natural wet/dry cycles frequently leads to poor correlation to outdoor environments. Within one Q-FOG chamber, it is possible to simulate all of the most significant corrosion environments. Even the most complex test cycles can easily be programmed with the easy-to-operate Gen 4 controller, featuring dual, full-color touchscreens.

Affordable

Q-FOG corrosion testers were specifically designed to have the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry. Their low purchase price, high reliability, and low operating costs set a new standard for corrosion testers. The model CRH represents a breakthrough in price-performance ratio for RH-controlled corrosion chambers. Now even the smallest lab can afford to perform the latest in cyclic corrosion testing.

Easy to Operate

The Q-FOG tester’s simple yet sophisticated design makes it easy to install, easy to use, and almost maintenance-free.
> Simple dual, full-color touchscreen user interface for easy programming
> Exposure conditions displayed continuously
> Self-diagnostic warnings and service reminders
> Multicolored LED for viewing tester status from a distance

Q-FOG CRH

The Q-FOG model CRH represents a true breakthrough in the price-performance ratio of corrosion testers with Relative Humidity (RH) control. It has all the advantages of the model CCT, but adds full variable humidity control through the use of an innovative Air Preconditioner. It is compatible with nearly all major automotive corrosion test standards, such as GMW 14872, SAE J2334, and others from ISO, GB/T, VW, Chrysler, Renault, and more. Additionally, this model includes a programmable shower function with an advanced cleaning feature for spray nozzles that prevents clogging frequently found in competitive chambers. The available Rapid Ramp Heater capability allows the Q-FOG CRH to meet fast temperature and transitions, like those called for in standards such as JASO M609, CCT-I, CCT-II, and CCT-IV, even when the chamber is fully loaded with specimens. The optional Top-Mounted Swaying Shower Bar feature allows the CRH to comply with language in automotive test standards from Ford and Volvo requiring overhead shower distribution.
