JIS Z 2371

Introducing JIS Z2371 – Industrial Physics

JIS Z2371 is a Japanese industrial standard that is used to check the corrosion resistance of test samples made from metal, with or without electroplating.  

Developed by the Japanese Industrial Standards Organization (JIS), JIS Z2371 presents methods of salt spray testing to recreate the environmental conditions from a salt fog, making it ideal for testing materials that are to be used in marine environments. JIS Z2371 specifies the salt solutions to use, the apparatus you need and the procedure to follow. It also guides you on aspects such as:  

• How to evaluate the salt spray cabinet reproducibility related to corrosivity 
• How to prepare your test specimens 
• The required test conditions 
• How to evaluate the test results. 

The salt spray corrosion tests covered in JIS Z2371 include neutral salt spray testing, acetic acid salt spray testing and copper-accelerated acetic acid salt spraying (CASS) tests.

So, how can Industrial Physics improve your JIS Z2371 testing? 

C&W Salt Spray Cabinet
The C&W salt spray range delivers the precise environmental test conditions demanded by industry today. Through their reliability, ease of operation and robust construction, C&W salt spray cabinets have gained worldwide acceptance with applications in all major sectors from automotive manufacture to the paint, surface and coatings, chemical, electronics, aerospace, military and offshore industries. C&W cabinets are widely used to test both components and coated test panels. The design ensures that they meet or exceed the requirements laid down in all major national, international and corporate standards. 

Pioneering designs have made C&W the UK leader in the manufacture of accelerated corrosion and environmental test cabinets. 

TQC Sheen Wet Film Thickness Gauge Stainless Steel 

Wet film thickness gauges are designed to measure the thickness of coatings immediately after they have been applied to a substrate. The gauge has a series of notches cut into its sides like the teeth on a comb. The wet film thickness of coatings including paints, resins, lacquers, varnishes and gels can be measured. 

TQC Sheen Wet Film Thickness Wheel 

Developed for use on wet lacquers, paint and coil coated surfaces and equipped with a precision roller-bearing for smooth rolling over a surface.
The wheel has three rims, the inner rim being eccentric to the two outer rims. The outer rings are notched for a firm grip on the surface to prevent slipping. It’s made of hardwearing stainless steel and has an aluminum grip.
