It's used to cause an acid rain effect and to perform corrosive sulphuric atmosphere testing

Kesternich chamber

Kesternich corrosion chambers, CHKEST model, simulate a saturated humidity atmosphere and a constant temperature combined with sulphur dioxide gas (SO²) to produce an acid rain effect and to perform corrosive sulphuric atmosphere tests.

The standard temperature range is +5 °C and can be up to +70 °C, the volume of the equipment can be 300 and 1000 litres, for other sizes please consult us. The Kesternich corrosion chamber is mainly used for improvement studies in the prevention of corrosion in the automotive and building materials sectors.

In Ineltec, we design and manufacture tailor-made equipment according to specifications, modifying or extending standard features.
