Salt Spray specs. ASTM vs. JIS
Q. We have been requested to process salt spray testing for the coating of screw base on the JIS (Japan Industrial Standard), we would like to hear the feedback from who have experience for that, and hope to have reply for the JIS no. regarding to the testing. Appreciate to have feedback soon.

A. Patrick -
The JIS standard for salt spray testing is JIS Z 2371. It is very similar to the ASTM standard ASTM B117, except that the references for salt, water, etc., are JIS standards. We have run it several times and would be happy to answer any specific questions you may have.

JIS Z 2371 vs. ASTM B117
Q. I would like to know what is the difference between Salt Spray Standard ASTM B117 and JIS Z 2371. Is there some specification about the size of the chamber ?
Thank you,

A. The most obvious difference between B117 and JIS Z 2371 is that B117 only describes salt spray testing and the JIS standard includes salt spray, CASS and acetic acid [on eBay or Amazon]. According to the JIS standard, the chamber must be .2 cubic meters or larger (approx. 7 cubic feet). There are other differences such as the salt description, placement of the collector funnels, etc. The best way to compare them is to obtain a copy of both and read through them.

Q. Recently I have sent my parts to TUV for Salt Spray. On the report it is written the salt spray was conducted according to ASTM B117. But when I questioned them what is the basis on interpreting the result, the answer given was JIS Z 2371. In my opinion since the test was conducted using ASTM B117 therefore the result should be based on ASTM D610. I appreciate if anyone could tell me what are the differences of these 2 standards in terms or interpreting the outcomes of test.
Another question is that TUV is using a copper wire with rubber coat to tie the specimens while performing the test. I would like to know if there's any possibility of the copper affecting the salt spray result?

Q. What is the difference between ASTM B117 & JIS Z 2371? Will salt spray life differ for a part when carried out in these two methods?

A. Hi Manjuth. We found a thread where your question was previously answered, and appended your inquiry to it. It is somewhat difficult to get the same salt spray hours in two identical cabinets :-) ... so I think you'll get different results. Good luck.
