2. Test Rep ort Number 132579 Issue 1 Page 2 of 8 144 – 168 Hours The sample showed evidence of moderate yellow corrosion product and total white zinc corrosion (see photograph after 144 ). 240 – 312 Hours The sample showed a small area of red ferrous corros ion on the tube arm adjacent to the nut and a significant amount small spots of red ferrous corrosion 1.0mm maximum size and significant yellow corrosion product and total white zinc corrosion (see photograph after 240 hours ). 336 Hours The sample showed a small area of red ferrous corrosion on the tube arm adjacent to the nut 20mm x 10mm and small area on the left hinge. The general condition of the sample showed a significant amount of small spots of red ferrous corrosion 1.0mm maximum size and a significant amount of yellow corrosion product and total white zinc corrosion , the spring tension mechanism function worked satisfactory (see photograph after 336 hours). 408 – 504 Hours The sample showed an area of red ferrous corrosion on the tube arm adjacent to the nut and small area on the left hinge. The general condition of the sample showed a n significant - almost total amount of small spots of red ferrous corrosion 2 .0mm maximum size and a significant - almost total amount of yellow corrosion product and total white zinc corrosion (see photograph after 504 hours). 576 – 6 4 8 Hours The sample showed an area of red ferrous corrosion on the tube arm adjacent to the nut and small area on the left hinge. The general condition of the sample showed a significant amount of small spots of red ferrous corrosion 2 .0mm maximum size and a significant amount of yellow corrosion product and total white zinc corrosion . 6 72 Hours The sample showed an area of red ferrous corrosion on the tube arm adjacent to the nut and small area on the left hinge. The general condition of the sample showed a significant amount of small spots of red ferrous corrosion 3 .0mm maximum size and a significant amount of yellow corrosion product and total white zinc corrosion , the spring tension mechanism function worked satisfactory (see photograph s).

3. Test Report Number 132579 Issue 1 Page 3 of 8 COMMENTS / CONCLUSION Bef ore the salt spray test , the spring tension mechanism function worked satisfactory. After completing 33 6 hours salt spray test, the spring tension mechanism function worked satisfactory. After completing 672 hours salt spray test, the spring tension mech anism function worked satisfactory. There are no pass or failure criteria defined within the standard in relevant information, this is a matter of agreement between the parties concerned. The finish applied to the Galvanised Steel / Tube Assembly Sample tested, failed to withstan d 672 hours Salt Spray Test requirement without the formation of red ferrous corrosion. END OF TEXT
