Industry-leading temperature chambers for temperature cycling have powerful compressors, temperature ranges from -70°C to 180°C, reliable conditioning systems that control temperature within ±0.5°C, various cooling system options, and remote control to monitor testing from anywhere.

Ramp rate refers to how quickly a test chamber can heat up while pull-down relates to how fast it can cool off, with an industry average 4.4°C/minute pull and 2.5°C/minute ramp, respectively.

Conducting maintenance on the electrical, refrigeration, humidity, circulation, and control systems will help you identify and address any issues in your test chambers before they become expensive problems.

If you’re looking to upgrade (or replace) your test chambers’ controllers, there are a few options to consider, including retrofitting with remote monitoring technology.

Generally speaking, the base price of walk-in test chambers starts at around $85,000, but that number increases depending on size, performance, customizations, and the type of build.

Water demineralizer cartridges, stainless steel shelf clips, silicone sponge gaskets, access port plugs, and nichrome wire ceramic heaters are the most commonly replaced test chamber components. Look for signs of wear and tear and contact a reputable manufacturer to find replacement parts.

Environmental test chambers should typically be calibrated once every six months to a year, but this frequency depends on project size, case use, and volume capacity.

Learn about how various items from the Star Wars Galaxy might be tested, including lightsabers and spacecraft, and whether you can actually carbon freeze something using a temperature and humidity chamber.

Dry air and dry nitrogen purges are used in temperature and humidity and temperature-only environmental test chambers to pull moisture out of the workspace so that tests are run with the proper RH conditions.

Companies who own test chambers show a strong return on investment, but you may choose to outsource testing, at a rate of around $1500 per day, if you don’t have in-house capabilities.
