Preparation Before Testing
Clean the panels by degreasing only. This ensures the surface is free from dirt, oil, or other contaminants. After cleaning, weigh each panel on an analytical balance to the nearest 1.0 mg and record the mass.
Arranging the Reference Specimens
-
Use at least two weighed CR1 steel specimens.
-
Position each panel at a 15° to 30° angle from vertical.
-
Place panels near the salt fog collection funnels.
-
Ensure panels and funnels are at least 100 mm away from chamber walls.
By following these steps, you can ensure accurate, reliable, and repeatable test results.
