Best Practice on drying Specimen after Salt Spray Testing
January 10, 2012
Q. Hi all,
I need some input for drying the specimen after Salt Spray testing.
Below are the procedures that I do after I take out the specimen from Salt Chamber:
1. Leave it for 1 hour to dry
2. Wash it with water. I use only tap water... turn-on the faucet and let the water run onto specimen.
3. I quickly dry it by giving a little air from air compressor
[adv: air compressors on
eBay
or
Amazon [affil links] to dry the specimen.
Am I doing the correct procedure?
I read the ASTM B117 and it just says "... then immediately dried"
Kindly advise.
Thank you in advance.
