UL1332 UL2431 SO2 CO2 Gas Corrosion Durability Test Equipment

LIB industry UL1332 UL2431 SO₂ CO₂ gas corrosion durability test equipment accurately simulates corrosive industrial atmospheres to verify the long-term durability of coatings, metal substrates, and outdoor electrical enclosures under UL-specified conditions. The system operates in high-humidity (≈95% RH) and elevated temperature (~40 °C) environments while precisely introducing SO₂ and CO₂, reproducing the wet gas corrosion mechanisms defined in UL1332 and UL50E. Extended exposure—hundreds to 1000 hours as required by UL2431—ensures stable, uniform conditions for reliable evaluation of coating adhesion, blistering, corrosion propagation, and substrate protection

With high-accuracy gas flow control, SUS316 corrosion-resistant construction, and stable temperature/humidity regulation, LIB industry ensures repeatable, compliant results. Widely used for UL certification, coating validation, product reliability, and quality control.

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.

LIB industry Solution
Our SO₂ & CO₂ Gas Corrosion Durability Test Equipment fully supports both UL1332 and UL2431 methods with:

  • Precise SO₂ / CO₂ gas control

  • Stable high-humidity and temperature conditions

  • Long-term continuous operation

  • Customizable programmable test sequences

With a single system, you can perform UL1332 coating corrosion tests + UL2431 material durability validation, while also generating reliable data for UL50E enclosure protection assessments.


UL1332 UL2431 SO2 CO2 Gas Corrosion Durability Test Equipment Features and Benefits
