Since 1965, the QCT has been recognized as the standard for condensation testing. Developed by the Cleveland Society for Coatings Technology, the QCT applies controlled warm condensation (or aggressive water) to the test surface. It is especially useful for conducting fast, yet realistic, blister tests. The QCT is easy to use, very low cost and meets ISO, ASTM and BS test methods.
The QCT uses aggressive water to test the surface resistance of coatings and other material. In a QCT, wetness can be an invisible dew or a continuous, high-temperature running condensate. It can also be programmed for cyclic dry-off to relieve the osmotic pressure. The QCT accelerates moisture attack by increasing the condensation temperature.
The QCT does not require special electrical connection or plumbing – just plug it in and connect to a regular mains water supply.
