MIL-STD-810H
509.7 Salt Fog
MIL-STD-810H Part Two, Method 509.7
What It Evaluates
Use a 5 ±1% sodium-chloride solution at 35 ±2°C, with collected-solution pH between 6.5 and 7.2. Maintain a fallout rate of 1–3 mL/80 cm²/hr with minimal chamber airflow.
When It Applies
Applies when the product lifecycle, platform, storage, transport, deployment, or operating environment includes credible exposure.
Likely Procedures
Procedure selection requires engineering review of the item lifecycle and contract requirements.
Typical Ranges / Conditioning
Severity, duration, and conditions require engineering tailoring; no generic value is assigned by this tool. Conditioning details require review by qualified engineers and applicable contract requirements.
This tool provides preliminary planning information only. Final MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461, and RTCA DO-160 requirements must be reviewed and tailored by qualified engineers based on the product, lifecycle, platform, environment, and contract requirements.
