TestTrak

Corrosion Testing Made Easy.

TestTrak facilitates recording of salt-spray chamber parameters and load records as required by the ASTM B117 Standard. Anyone who does corrosion testing for metal finishing knows that this is a daunting task, but TestTrak makes it easy.

The Salt-Spray Solution

Many of our customers have brought corrosion testing in-house to reduce cost and avoid the unpredictable results returned by outside laboratories. It doesn't take long to realize that loading, unloading, and monitoring salt-spray chambers is a non-trivial task. And the record keeping for compliance with the ASTM B 117 specification is daunting.

TestTrak is the solution.

"I like the clarity and simplicity of reviewing data in TestTrak. After 14 years of B117 audits, TestTrak is a welcome tool."

Customize for Your Company

  • Track loads and monitoring for up to four chambers.
  • Set up parameters for two types/sizes of chambers.
  • Support two collectors or four collectors per chamber.
  • Set up reservoir depth to volume for each chamber.
  • Preset times and angles for up to eight specifications.
  • Preset open ramp time for each chamber type.
  • Set calendar warnings to your preferences.
  • Filter logs and reports to show each or all chambers.

"TestTrak helps us manage the data between multiple chambers and keep track of many loads for chromate, anodizing and nickel on many different base materials and for many different finishing specifications."

Loading the Chamber

  • Clickable list of all your finishing specifications.
  • Auto-loads required test time and load angle.
  • Check unload date-time with one click.
  • Auto-add open time to all chamber loads.

"We used to log interruptions on a spreadsheet and add to the load time, but the TestTrak Add-Time feature is much easier."

Unloading the Chamber

  • Chamber Log gives advance notice when load nears end date.
  • Separate dockable timer module for early heads-up.
  • Today's date-time auto-logged to save time.
  • Log results for each panel: serial number, pit count, etc.
  • Select Nadcap flags easily: pass, fail, retest, replace.
  • Capture pointer to retest or replacement job.
  • Take picture of panels or parts and link to load record.

"Automatically calculates load time and gives heads up when it's time to remove a load."

Monitoring the Chamber

  • Every reading checked to ASTM B 117 as it is entered.
  • Readings plotted on chart with ASTM B 117 limits.
  • Proper collection volumes automatically calculated.
  • Comparison of reservoir to collection for control.
  • Specific gravity to NaCl look up from ASTM B 117.

"The green-yellow-red coding makes it easy to see if data is compliant with ASTM B 117."

Be Ready for Audits

  • Independent Load Log and Chamber Log.
  • Logs cross referenced to generate Load Reports.
  • Print load or check record for selected time period.
  • One click brings up pictures of panels from Load Log.
  • Each Chamber Log record checked against ASTM B 117.
  • No warnings from TestTrak = no findings at audit.

"TestTrak keeps our documentation in one place so we are better prepared for Nadcap audits, and evidence of ASTM B 117 compliance is so much easier to demonstrate."
