Hi, Ned. I don't know if I understand the question -- actually you didn't ask a question :-)

But you cannot predict performance in one test based on performance in another. The reason we have multiple tests is to try to select a test which is most helpful towards maintaining quality control. In that light, the salt spray test, if applicable, may be preferable in that it takes less than a third as long.
