Humidity chambers replicate both the temperature and humidity of the environment a product may be exposed to so that the response can be monitored. Humidity readings at extreme temperatures indicate to testers how a component reacts to hot, cold, humid and dry conditions in different combinations—conditions which may fluctuate. Controlling humidity is challenging without controlling temperature; the two are directly proportional, and thus both functionalities are necessary to test humidity.
Choosing the right chamber is essential, as different tests may call for very different specifications.
Essential to manufacturers, a temperature and humidity chamber is ideal for predicting how a product will react to harsh environments, like blistering deserts, humid rainforests or years of consumer use or years of consumer use. Operators place the device under test within the chamber and then select the desired 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 environmental chambers to provide accurate assessments of their devices’ limits. These chambers are capable of achieving requirements set by
MIL-STD-810, the test method for environmental engineering considerations and laboratory tests.
