VLM CON FL Water Condensation Cabinet Range
Cost-effective solution for basic water condensation and SO2 corrosion tests
Models Available:
CON 300-FL (+50°C)
CON 400-FL (+60°C)
These compact and easy to operate benchtop cabinets are designed for conducting water condensation (constant humidity) tests pursuant to the most common international corrosion test standards such as:
DIN EN ISO 6270-2:2005
ASTM D2247
Cabinets with AIR or ADO option are applicable for the additional water condensation tests:
Alternating temperature (AT)
Alternating temperature and humidity (AHT)
The (KES) version of CON 300-FL test cabinet is suitable for conducting Kesternich tests acc. to:
DIN EN ISO 6988 (DIN 50018)
Customer Benefits
- Compact benchtop design
- The patented VLM technology allows the best possible reproducibility of the temperature conditions being created in the test chamber regardless of the environmental conditions and geographical location – the same type of VLM corrosion test chamber will produce the same test results in any geographical region
- The test chamber made of steel is more robust and less susceptible to damages compared to the competitive products made of glass-reinforced plastic
- Lower cost of ownership compared to the competitive products where the test chamber is made of glass-reinforced plastic (shorter test periods, better energy efficiency, easier for service and maintenance, longer life cycle, more resistive to mechanical damages)
- User-friendly control system with pre-configured test parameters
The following Accessories are included:
- 5 rods for supporting test specimen
- 2 m exhaust hose Ø 50 mm
- 2 m drain water hose Ø 18 mm
- 1 female connector for compressed air hose (size no. 5)

Option: Automatic water refill (AWRF) system suitable for AHT type of condensation testOperating system Constant Humidity (CH) with Controlled Water Condensation - CWC (according to ISO 6270-2 CH)
CWC system is the patented VLM technology which regulates the temperature gradient of exactly ΔT=1°C between the bottom and the roof of the test chamber – this is essential for an optimal condensation process in the test chamber at 100% RH regardless the environmental conditions outside the test chamber
Flat heaters under the bottom of the chamber for uniform and rapid heating of the water in the trough
Temperature stability in the chamber ±0,2°C
Air fan with the manually adjustable rotation speed for controllable drying of specimen in the Drying Phase
