Oversized Salt Spray Chambers: Test Large-Scale Metal Structures with Ease

Shanghai – TOBO GROUP, a leader in agile testing solutions for multi-standard environments, is proud to launch the QuickSwitch Pro Salt Spray Tester—a versatile system engineered to switch between global corrosion testing standards in minutes (not hours) and cut overall test turnaround time by 40%, solving a major pain point for third-party testing labs, multi-product manufacturers, and compliance teams: traditional testers require manual reconfiguration (e.g., swapping nozzles, recalibrating sensors, rewriting protocols) to switch between standards like ASTM B117, ISO 9227, and IEC 60068-2-11, causing costly delays when handling diverse client or product needs. This platform streamlines standard changes and accelerates testing without sacrificing accuracy, making it critical for teams that manage 5+ different test protocols monthly—such as labs testing both automotive components (ISO 16773-2) and electronics (IEC 60068-2-11), or manufacturers with product lines spanning consumer goods and industrial equipment.
At the core of the QuickSwitch Pro is its Modular Standard Compatibility Kit, a set of pre-calibrated, plug-and-play components that eliminate manual reconfiguration. The kit includes interchangeable fog nozzles (optimized for different droplet sizes: 5μm for ASTM B117, 8μm for ISO 9227), adjustable salt solution reservoirs (with pre-mixed solution packets for 3% NaCl, 5% NaCl, and acidic salt blends), and quick-connect sensor modules (calibrated to each standard’s temperature/humidity requirements). Swapping between standards takes just 15 minutes—users disconnect the old module, plug in the new one, and select the target standard on the touchscreen; the system automatically updates all parameters (temperature, fog density, test cycle timing) without manual input. A third-party testing lab that handles 20+ client projects weekly reported cutting standard-switching time from 2 hours (with their old tester) to 15 minutes, letting them take on 30% more projects without extending work hours. The kit also supports emerging regional standards (e.g., JIS Z 2371 for Japanese automotive clients, GB/T 10125 for Chinese industrial products), ensuring global compliance without additional equipment.
Complementing the modular kit is the Rapid Preheat & Cool-Down System, which slashes idle time between tests. Traditional testers take 60–90 minutes to reach target temperature (e.g., 35°C for ASTM B117) and another 45 minutes to cool down before reconfiguration; the QuickSwitch Pro uses a dual-stage heating element and forced-air cooling to reduce preheat time to 20 minutes and cool-down time to 10 minutes. It also includes a “Test Queue” feature that lets users pre-program up to 10 sequential tests (each with different standards) —for example, a morning test for ASTM B117 (automotive fasteners), followed by ISO 9227 (electronics connectors), then JIS Z 2371 (Japanese automotive parts). The system automatically preheats to the next test’s temperature while the current one runs, eliminating idle time between cycles. An automotive components manufacturer with 3 product lines (engine parts, exterior trim, electronics) used this feature to run 3 back-to-back tests in 8 hours—something that previously took 12 hours with their old tester—meeting tight production deadlines for a new vehicle launch.
Real-world applications across multi-standard environments highlight the system’s value: A global consumer goods company used the QuickSwitch Pro to test kitchen appliances (IEC 60068-2-11) and outdoor furniture (ISO 9227) on the same machine, reducing equipment costs by 50%. A compliance lab specializing in medical devices used the modular kit to switch between ASTM G85 (for surgical tools) and ISO 10289 (for implant coatings), ensuring FDA and CE compliance with minimal setup. A contract manufacturer testing parts for automotive, aerospace, and electronics clients relied on the Test Queue feature to handle 4 different standards daily, cutting turnaround time for client reports from 3 days to 1 day.
“QuickSwitch Pro was built for teams that don’t test one thing—they test everything,” said TOBO GROUP’s Agile Testing Solutions Director. “Traditional testers force you to choose between speed and compliance. This system lets you have both: switch standards in minutes, run tests faster, and never compromise on accuracy. It’s corrosion testing that keeps up with how teams work today—fast, flexible, and global.”
