Environmental Simulation Chambers

Cyclic Corrosion Test Chambers

Cyclic corrosion test chambers (CCT) simulate realistic environmental conditions for accurate assessment of the corrosion resistance of materials and surface coatings.

Multiple test modesThe cabinet automatically alternates between salt spray, high humidity, dry heat and drying cycles to achieve a realistic simulation.
Precise controlThe microprocessor controller accommodates up to 7 programs with unlimited event entries.
Peristaltic pumpThe brine flow rate is controlled by a variable-speed peristaltic pump and a flow meter, ensuring precise dosing rates and zero nozzle clogging.
Corrosion-resistant constructionThe device is manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials, including a reinforced fibreglass cover that withstands chemicals and temperature fluctuations.

Cyclic corrosion test chambers (CCT), or the C&W Cyclic Corrosion Cabinet, are industrial testing systems designed to provide precise and repeatable environmental test conditions. They are essential for evaluating the corrosion resistance of materials, surface coatings, and components in the automotive, electronics, paint, aerospace, military, and offshore industries.

Unlike a standard salt spray test, the CCT cabinet automatically alternates between different test conditions — salt spray, high humidity, dry heat, and drying cycles — thereby providing a more realistic simulation of real-world operating conditions.

Test modes and capabilities

The CCT cabinet offers a full range of test conditions:

  • Salt spray / salt fog — complies with ASTM B117 and ISO 9227 standards
  • Humidity — up to 98% RH constant or cyclic
  • Dry heat — up to 70 °C
  • Ambient temperature — up to 55 °C ±1 °C
  • Air purge cycle and forced drying
  • Special modes — cyclic Prohesion®, CASS, salt fog, humidity

Precise control and traceability

The microprocessor controller accommodates up to 7 programs with unlimited event entries. The salt solution flow rate is controlled by a variable-speed peristaltic pump and a flow meter — precise collection rates, zero nozzle clogging. The digital display allows adjustment of water temperature and real-time monitoring of the test progress.

Robust and durable construction

C&W CCT chambers are made from corrosion-resistant materials. The reinforced fiberglass polyester lid (Apex series) withstands both chemicals and temperature fluctuations. The ergonomic control panel and gas-spring composite lids ensure convenient daily operation. The entire unit construction is corrosion-resistant.

Common questions about this product.

Frequently asked questions

Which test modes does the CCT chamber support?
The CCT chamber supports salt spray/salt fog, humidity, dry heat, ambient temperature, air purge cycle and forced drying. Additionally, there are special modes: cyclic Prohesion®, CASS and salt fog.
What standards do the devices comply with?
The equipment complies with the international standards ASTM B117 and ISO 9227, as well as the Prohesion® and CASS test methods.
What are the temperature and humidity limits of the device?
Dry heat reaches up to 70 °C, ambient temperature up to 55 °C ±1 °C, and humidity up to 98% RH, either constant or cyclic.
How many programs can be stored in the controller?
Up to 7 programs with unlimited event entries can be stored in the microprocessor controller, whereby each program may contain various test conditions and durations in any order.
Which industries are CCT chambers suitable for?
CCT chambers are suitable for the automotive, paint and powder coating, electronics, aerospace, military, offshore, packaging and plastics industries.
What is Cyclic Corrosion Testing (CCT)?
Cyclic corrosion testing is a test method that simulates real-world environmental conditions in alternating phases: salt spray, high humidity, dry heat, and ambient temperature. Unlike a standard salt spray test, CCT provides a more realistic picture of a material's corrosion behaviour in actual use.
What distinguishes the CCT cabinet from a standard salt spray cabinet?
A standard salt spray chamber offers a single constant test condition. The CCT chamber enables automatic switching between modes: salt spray, 98% RH, dry heat up to 70 °C and forced drying — providing a more accurate simulation of real-world conditions.
