We have a critical Proficiency Testing Program (PTP) Salt Spray test going on and tomorrow we must evaluate the results to maintain our approval. Our end customer is Airbus. The Airbus AIPI and AIPS 02-05-001 spec does not give guidance. So i have spent this evening researching. The only other specs on this topic are ASTM B117 and Mil-Std-810G. Neither of which give guidance on the subject.
I need to know:
1. what i am looking for once the samples are removed from the salt spray machine?
2. Will magnifying equipment help or will it be a hinderance?
3. Are there any visual aids similar to the Table 1 of ISO 2409:2013(E) for the Cross Cut Test Standard which shows helpful examples of what is good and not so good?
The PTP technical definition document simply says 'count the pits' but we did that last year and failed. The PTP people are negative, just tell you you have failed and never give any advice which may help you improve your process.
I would be grateful for any responses to my 3 questions please.
Many Thanks
