IEC 60068-2-11: Salt Mist

The IEC 60068-2-11: SaltSalt: Salt Mobile SA, often stylised as Salt., is a telecommunications provider based in Switzerland. The company has a focus on mobile telephony and fiber-optic land-line services. It was initially founded as the Swiss subsidiary of Orange S.A., a multinational telecommunications corporation. In 2012,… Mist test standard refers to a specific method of testing the corrosion resistance of components and coatings. It involves exposing the test samples to a salt mist environment for a specified period. This standard, developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), ensures that products can withstand harsh environments, particularly those with high salt concentrations. It is commonly used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and electronics, where products often face challenging conditions. The test can be conducted in a controlled chamber where temperature, humidity, and salt concentration are regulated. The duration of the test can vary depending on the nature of the product and its intended use. After the test, the samples are inspected for signs of corrosion, which provides insight into their durability and reliability in real-world salt-laden environments.
