conditions, such as temperature or humidity excursions outside the
set limits, power failures, or equipment malfunctions.
- Volume and Dimensions: The chamber is available in various sizes to accommodate
different testing requirements. The volume can range from a few
cubic feet for testing small components to larger chambers with
several cubic meters of space for testing more substantial products
or multiple samples. The interior dimensions are carefully designed
to optimize the distribution of temperature, humidity, and
vibration, ensuring that all parts of the tested samples experience
consistent environmental and mechanical stress. The external
dimensions are configured to fit within a standard laboratory or
production facility, taking into account factors such as access,
ventilation, and clearance.

within ±0.5°C. This ensures that all parts of the tested samples
experience a similar thermal environment, which is crucial for
obtaining accurate and reliable test results.
- Humidity Uniformity: The humidity uniformity is within ±3% RH. This level of
consistency in humidity distribution allows for precise testing of
samples that are sensitive to moisture levels.
- Vibration Uniformity: The vibration system is designed to provide uniform vibration
across the testing platform. The variation in vibration amplitude
and frequency is kept within a very small tolerance, typically ±5%,
ensuring that all parts of the sample are subjected to the same
mechanical stress.
- Stability: Both the temperature and humidity stability are excellent, with
minimal fluctuations over time. The vibration system also offers
high stability, maintaining the set vibration parameters accurately
throughout the test. This allows for long-term testing and the
evaluation of a sample's performance under stable environmental and
mechanical conditions, as well as its ability to withstand changes
over extended periods.
