ABSTRACT:
An environmental simulation test utilizes various temperatures and exposure times while exposing a test item to wet and dry conditions. In one example a marine environment where there is some pollution is simulated using a 24 hour test cycle that may be repeated as many days as necessary. The test cycle includes spraying a solution onto a test item and then cyclically exposing the test item to dry and humidified conditions.
