What Are UL1332 and UL2431 Tests?
UL1332 – Coating Corrosion Resistance
Tests outdoor steel enclosure coatings under high humidity (~95% RH), elevated temperature (~40 °C), SO₂/CO₂ gas, and optional salt spray. Monitors blistering, peeling, cracking, and corrosion over hundreds to ~1000 hours.
UL2431 – Material Durability
Evaluates long-term performance of materials and coatings with humidity/temperature cycling, corrosive gas exposure, and extended continuous testing, ensuring structural integrity and protective performance.

UL1332 UL2431 SO2 CO2 Gas Corrosion Durability Test Equipment Features and Benefits
1. Precise and Stable Environmental Control –
The chamber provides highly accurate regulation of SO₂ and CO₂ gas concentrations, temperature, and humidity, maintaining consistent test conditions throughout long-duration experiments. This ensures that every corrosion durability test meets UL2431 requirements and delivers reliable, repeatable results.
2. Long-Term Durability Testing
Designed for continuous operation from hundreds up to 1000 hours, the allows thorough evaluation of coatings, materials, and substrates under harsh corrosive conditions. It effectively reveals blistering, peeling, cracking, or corrosion propagation, helping engineers optimize material formulations and verify product longevity.
3. Corrosion-Resistant and Robust Construction
Built with SUS316 stainless steel interior and reinforced insulated exterior, the gas corrosion chamber resists chemical attack while providing structural stability. The durable construction ensures minimal maintenance, long service life, and reliable performance even in demanding industrial environments.
4. Flexible Programmable Operation
Equipped with a 7-inch PID touchscreen, the system supports up to 120 programmable test sequences with 100 segments each, including multi-stage temperature, humidity, and gas exposure. Users can easily customize testing cycles for various materials or coatings, streamlining research, quality control, and certification workflows.
