Altitude chambers, or hypobaric chambers, are environmental test chambers which replicate the pressure and gas conditions found at differing altitudes for the purposes of evaluating the response to the changes. Altitude chambers are used to test electronics, products and packaging which may be exposed to high altitude environments during their lifespan. If malfunctions occur, or other flaws are revealed in the testing process, manufacturers can then adapt the product design to avoid future malfunctions.

Altitude Chambers
Industries such as aerospace, aeronautical, military and automotive employ strict altitude chamber testing due to the critical nature of their product activities. For example, the failure of a missile guidance system, aircraft radio or a deep sea diving regulator would likely result in a severe and fatal accident. Therefore, the system components and equipment in these industries must be tested in extremes of varying pressure in order to determine any potential weaknesses. In addition, commercial products that require shipping via air can be tested in altitude chambers to ensure no product damage occurs during transit. Altitude chambers are also used for the testing of the human body in response to changes in pressure and altitude. These walk-in test chambers monitor the response of the respiratory and circulatory system in persons for the purposes of pilot and astronaut training, professional athletic training, and in determining the symptoms and treatments for hypoxia, a condition caused by altitude change.
