HK toploading salt spray chamber for DIN EN ISO 9227 NSS tests – reliable salt spray testing in durable polypropylene test chambers for simple to complex corrosion testing. Corrosion testing device Toploading Our HK series Top-loading systems of the HK series are loaded from above and are particularly suitable for test items with higher weight, larger volume, or irregular geometry. The vertical loading allows for ergonomic and safe insertion of test pieces, often with the aid of cranes or lifting equipment. Advantages of toploading systems: simple and safe loading of heavy or bulky test specimens optimal use of space in the test room robust design for industrial applications High flexibility for different test specimen dimensions Minimal space required in front of the unit, as no side door is needed. Toploading systems are therefore particularly suitable for demanding testing tasks in corrosion and environmental simulation.
