Shanghai – TOBO GROUP, a pioneer in field-deployable testing technology, is thrilled to launch the FieldCorr Pro Salt Spray Tester—a heavy-duty, weather-resistant system built to perform accurate corrosion testing in harsh, remote environments, from coastal construction sites to desert oil fields. Unlike lab-bound chambers that require controlled conditions, this tester delivers laboratory-grade results in off-site settings, addressing the critical gap for industries like infrastructure, oil & gas, marine, and renewable energy—where on-location validation of material durability (e.g., bridge coatings, offshore rig components, solar panel mounts) is non-negotiable.
At the heart of the FieldCorr Pro is its extreme-environment ruggedization, engineered to withstand the toughest field conditions. The system features a reinforced 316L stainless steel chassis with an IP66-rated enclosure (dust-tight and water-resistant against heavy rain), a shock-absorbing internal frame that handles vibrations from construction equipment or vehicle transport, and operating temperature range of -10°C to 50°C—eliminating the need for external climate control. Its fog generator uses a self-cleaning ceramic nozzle resistant to sand, dust, and salt buildup, reducing maintenance stops in remote areas where service is hard to access. For a coastal bridge construction team testing galvanized steel rebar, the tester operated reliably through 3 weeks of rain and high winds, delivering consistent data without downtime—a stark contrast to their previous portable tester, which failed after 2 days of exposure.
Complementing its durability is the self-sufficient power & resource design, which frees the tester from reliance on grid electricity or external water sources. It includes a built-in 2000Wh lithium-ion battery (charged via solar panel, AC, or vehicle DC) that powers 48 hours of continuous testing, and a 20-liter insulated water tank that holds enough purified water for 3 full test cycles (each up to 24 hours). The system also recycles 70% of the salt solution via a compact filtration unit, cutting down on the need to transport large quantities of chemicals to remote sites. An oil & gas company using the FieldCorr Pro to test pipeline coatings in the Sahara Desert reported that the solar-battery setup let them run 5-day tests without accessing generator power, while the water recycling feature reduced their supply transport costs by 50%.
Despite its field-focused design, the FieldCorr Pro does not compromise on precision & compliance. It maintains strict control over test parameters: salt concentration (3-5% NaCl, adjustable to 10% for accelerated testing) within ±0.05%, temperature within ±0.3°C, and fog density of 1-2mL/hour per 80cm²—meeting global standards including ASTM B117, ISO 9227, and NACE TM0174 (for oil & gas corrosion testing). The tester includes a built-in data logger that stores up to 10,000 test cycles locally, with wireless sync (via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or satellite in ultra-remote areas) to [Company Name]’s FieldTest Cloud platform. This lets engineers in urban offices monitor real-time data from off-site tests—for example, a project manager in Houston tracked corrosion rates of offshore platform brackets being tested in the Gulf of Mexico, approving material choices without traveling to the site.
Real-world applications across industries highlight the tester’s impact: A marine construction firm used it to validate the corrosion resistance of aluminum boat hull panels at a remote shipyard, identifying a faulty batch before installation and avoiding a $200,000 rework. A highway department tested concrete reinforcement steel in a mountainous region prone to salt-based deicing, using the FieldCorr Pro to compare two coating types and select the one with 30% better durability. An offshore wind farm operator deployed the tester to check the integrity of turbine tower fasteners during maintenance, using satellite sync to send data to their onshore engineering team for immediate analysis.
“The FieldCorr Pro was built for teams that can’t bring the lab to the test—they have to bring the test to the field,” said TOBO GROUP’s Field Solutions Director. “In industries where material failure in remote locations means costly delays or safety risks, on-site validation isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. This tester gives teams the confidence that their materials will perform, no matter how harsh the environment.”
