Salt spray test on cold galvanizing compound

For cold galvanizing compound Cold Galvanizing Compound / Zinc Rich Paint, is there any method for getting accelerated salt spray corrosion for testing 2000 hrs of salt spray corrosion .

The short answer is no, Mr. Mavani. Accelerated corrosion testing is a quality control test, it is not a predictor of actual performance. But you could measure the thickness, which would be some indication of the real life performance. Generally paints offer good salt spray hours.
