Why ASTM B117 Remains the Reference Salt Spray Standard

History, scope, and the cost of running B117 incorrectly

ASTM B117 — the Standard Practice for Operating Salt Spray (Fog) Apparatus — has been the dominant corrosion test standard for over a century. First published in 1939, it specifies the apparatus, test solution, operating conditions, and procedures for neutral salt spray (NSS) testing of metallic and non-metallic coatings. Despite the rise of more realistic cyclic corrosion tests like ASTM G85 and GM9540P, B117 remains the most-cited salt spray test in specifications across automotive, fastener, coating, and electronics industries.

A salt spray test machine for ASTM B117 compliance is a controlled environment chamber that atomizes a 5% sodium chloride solution into a fine mist, maintains chamber temperature at 35°C ± 1°C, and continuously exposes test specimens to this corrosive fog. The standard does not specify pass/fail criteria — it specifies how to run the test. Pass/fail criteria come from the product specification (e.g., 240 hours with no red rust = ASTM B117 + spec).

Common misuse: ASTM B117 results are often quoted as a "corrosion rate" or directly compared to field exposure. B117 is an accelerated test that produces ranking information among coatings — it does not predict field life in any specific environment. Many OEMs now require cyclic tests (G85, GM9540P, Volvo VCS 1027) in addition to B117 for realistic field correlation.

What pH should the collected spray be?

6.5–7.2 for ASTM B117 NSS. Measure the pH of the spray collected in a clean beaker placed in the chamber (not the solution in the tank, which can differ). Adjust with dilute HCl (lower pH) or NaOH (raise pH). Recheck daily.

Can I run ASTM B117 and ASTM G85 in the same chamber?

Yes. The chamber hardware is the same. ASTM G85 A1 (acetic acid salt spray) uses the same atomizer and temperature; G85 A3 (prohesion) uses a different solution and a heated soak cycle. Most modern chambers support both via a programmable profile.

Why is my ASTM B117 test failing despite following the standard?

Most common causes: (1) atomizer clogged or dirty, (2) chamber temperature out of spec, (3) spray rate not 1–2 mL/80cm²/h, (4) solution pH drift, (5) specimen preparation inconsistent. Run the ASTM B117 §11 verification (temperature uniformity, spray rate, pH) before re-testing. Our Derui chambers include a verification procedure on the controller.

What is the cost of ASTM B117 chamber?

A 270 L ASTM B117 compliant chamber starts at $3,500–$5,000. 480 L chambers run $5,500–$9,000. Larger 800–2000 L walk-in chambers run $12,000–$30,000+. Pricing varies with control sophistication, data logging, and accessories. Contact Derui for a quote based on your chamber size and standard requirements.
