Thermal chambers, also known as temperature chambers, replicate extreme temperatures to test products, materials, or devices’ environmental resistance. ATEC's inventory offers a variety of features including integrated software and USB ports, adjustable/removable shelving, automatic cooling or heating boost systems and continual diagnostics.
What is a thermal chamber?
A thermal chamber is a test equipment device that can simulate environmental conditions required for testing. Thermal chambers are often used in applications in electrical, military, aerospace, and pharmaceutical reliability testing and quality assurance. Temperature testing is an essential step in verifying the safety and durability of a product. Thermal chamber units range from small benchtop units to massive walk-in chambers with models varying to match specific interior workspace volume requirements.
How Does A Thermal Chamber Work?
Thermal chambers work by simulating environmental conditions for test procedures. Essential to manufacturers, a temperature chamber is ideal for predicting how a product will react to harsh environments, like blistering deserts or years of consumer use. Operators place the device under test within the chamber and then select the desired temperature conditions from an accessible display any engineer or technician should be able to operate. Manufacturers conducting R&D, military agencies seeking to fulfill MIL-STDs (military standards), aerospace or automotive developers completing component testing and countless other consumer electronic developers all rely on these tests to provide accurate assessments of their devices’ limits.
