In addition to conducting environmental testing, Auto Technology produces corrosion test equipment and environmental test chambers, as well as centrifugal dryers and automated finishing equipment.

From salt chambers for small-parts testing to walk-in chambers large enough for an entire car, the company’s cyclic corrosion test chambers can mimic a variety of different conditions. Immersion, multi-gas and mixed-flow systems also are available. Environmental test chambers are designed to meet more than 40 major ASTM, automotive, military and commercial specifications for salt fog, humidity and corrosive gas tests. All chambers are designed to withstand the corrosive environments they produce, the company says.

Auto Technology’s A2LA-accredited contract test lab is capable of a variety of testing services, including advanced corrosion, cyclic corrosion and environmental testing. The company also offers automatic plating equipment, including split-rail machines, turnkey systems and programmable hoists; and an R&D zinc phosphate pretreatment and ecoating service.
