- Ascott’s Cyclic Corrosion Chamber advanced control system gives great flexibility. The customer can comply to a wide range of different cyclic corrosion test specifications, due to the extensive range of accessories that can be added to a chamber. As standard they come with the ability to create 5 distinct functions to create the most common corrosive environment:
- Salt Spray Fog
- Condensation humidity (wetting)
- Air drying
- Controlled humidity (see adjacent graph)
- Ambient Drying
- All may be programmed, using the intuitive full Colour 7” HD Touchscreen interface, to occur in any sequence and can be repeated automatically.
- Standard control features for the Ascott Cyclic Corrosion chamber:
- 7’’ ‘touch’ activated screen, with a 480p (0.38 megapixel) high resolution display, and a ‘menu’ driven icon based commands, available in multiple languages for ease of understanding and use.

- RJ45 communications port for connection to a local area network (LAN) for logging and remote programming via a computer running optional Ascott software (ACC121).
- A real-time, user configurable ‘clock’ to enable different test samples to have their exposure time monitored separately, with alarms to warn when preset test times have been completed
