Brake Line Corrosion

 

Subaru Legacy

 

 

Subaru is issuing a recall for more than 660,000 vehicles after discovering a problem with the brake lines. Extended exposure to salt water can corrode certain exposed sections.

 

When the cars are driven on streets where road salt is used, salt water can be kicked up and can get through a gap in the fuel tank protector. Over the course of several years, this can corrode areas of the brake line where there are gaps in the resin cover. The issue was discovered during two rounds of corrosion testing by Subaru.

 

The first tests were conducted in 2011 and 2012, and eventually led to a recall of 215,000 vehicles in 2013. Additional testing in 2013 and 2014 showed that the problem was more extensive than initially believed, and more vehicles, including some that were part of the last recall, are being brought in for repairs. Subaru found that the corrosion was significant enough to lead to a leak in the brake line after seven or more years. However, no accidents have been linked to the problem so far.

 

"Since the centre and rear brake lines work independently of one another, braking will still be possible if either (but not both) of the systems fail," says Subaru in its report to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "The driver will be alerted to a fault in the brake system via illumination of the brake system warning lamp because the fluid level will drop in the system. Failure of either the centre or rear brake lines might cause the driver to misjudge the amount of brake pedal travel required to achieve the desired stopping distance." 7th July 2014 - Source Techtimes - http://www.techtimes.com/


Industries and Applications

Below are some applications and industry sectors where chambers have been sold and used. Please send me your comments or feedback as the more information we can share the better for all of us to understand more about the whole corrosion test industry and the opportunities these offer. 

¡¤        Application 1 – Haulotte Group, the people and material lifting equipment specialist, manufactures and distributes through its sales and services subsidiaries network, a wide range of more than 60 models to meet all customer¡¯s needs : Access equipment, Earth moving equipment, System and utility scaffolds, Event staging and seating.

¡¤        Industry Sector – Lifting Equipment

Optional Accessories – ACC04 Air Compressor

 

 

Description:

The Air Compressor is a free-standing unit that will provide a continuous supply of clean, dry and oil-free compressed air, enabling the chamber to operate without requiring connection to a local compressed air supply.

Installation:

Position the compressor so that it is within reach of its power supply, and has adequate space around it for a free flow of cooling air. Connect the output to the compressed air input point of the chamber.

Operation:

The Air Compressor is not designed to start against pressure. Therefore, the chamber must be switched off and compressed air demanded before switching on the compressor.

World Cup Brazil 2014

As the tournament comes to an end this month, I am sure that  all supporters will have mixed emotions about the performances of their teams.

 

From an Ascott perspective, I thought a few World Cup facts may be interesting.

 

There were 32 countries who qualified. Out of the 32 countries Ascott has representation in 23 of these countries.

 

Out of the 16 group qualifiers Ascott has representation in 13 countries.

 

In the Quarter finals we have 6 representatives in the countries who got through and in the semi-finals we have 3 counties represented.

 

With this amazing coverage and vast amount of different industry sectors, what an opportunity we have to help each other with our own sales and promotional experiences.

Accelerated corrosion test involving exposure under controlled conditions of humidity and intermittent spraying of salt solution

 

Accelerated corrosion tests to simulate atmospheric corrosion in such environments include cyclic exposure to a wet phase, during which the test object is repeatedly subjected first to a spray of salt solution then to a wet stand-by period for several hours. This is followed by a phase of controlled cyclic humidity conditions, where the test object is subjected to an environment which alternates between high humidity and comparative dryness.

 

In the first (wet) phase of exposure, the test objects are sprayed for 15 min with a 1% (mass fraction) aqueous solution of sodium chloride acidified to pH 4.2, to simulate the rather acidic precipitation present in industrialized areas, followed by a 1 h 45 min period of wet stand-by. This sequence is repeated three times to give a total of 6 h exposure to wetness. The whole of this first phase of the test cycle is repeated twice a week.

 

The major part of the test cycle, however, consists of humidity cycling between the two levels of 95 % RH and 50 % RH at a constant temperature of 35¡ÆC.

 

This test is also referred to as a Cyclic Corrosion Test, often abbreviated to CCT.

 

What would like to see from Ascott?

 

We are constantly striving to provide information and services to help our network of distributors and agents develop more business.

 

With this in mind what would you like to see Ascott provide? More online training via webinars for example or product videos? These are a couple of ideas we are looking into so that you can use to help train or explain different functions of the Ascott chambers.

 

However, there may be something more specific that we could provide that would help you even further. If you do have any promotional ideas or any ideas about developing our business together, please don¡¯t hesitate to send them to me at jeff.lewis@ascott-analytical.com and we will our best to try to accommodate all requests.

 

Application Stories

 

Do you have any stories about corrosion testing applications you have experienced?

 

Any other stories about product applications or your own company stories that you feel would be of interest to our distributor network.

 

If so please send these to myself jeff.lewis@ascott-analytical.com and we will include in our upcoming forums.

 

The more information we all share the more opportunities we may discover in our own markets.

 

Let¡¯s work together and grow our Ascott sales globally!!

 

Did you know?

 

If the US government has no knowledge of aliens, then why does Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations, implemented on July 16, 1969, make it illegal for U.S. citizens to have any contact with extra-terrestrials or their vehicles?
