Temperature Chambers

Temperature Chambers

Temperature chambers are used to test an object's reaction to extremes or rapid changes in temperature. Many temperature chambers may also have settings for different humidity levels. Temperature chambers are important in product development because they can reveal problems that may occur in products in extreme environments.

Temperature chambers are available in many sizes, from room-sized walk-in temperature chambers to small benchtop chambers for individually testing small parts. Important considerations when choosing temperature chambers include the precision of its temperature controls, which is usually controlled by electronic sensors, and the uniformity of the temperature, which is achieved through high-volume air flow.

A wide variety of industries use temperature chambers for testing products. In fact, some industries have their own standards for environmental testing. The telecommunications industry, for example, follows the Telcordia (Bellcore) testing standards, while the military follows Mil-Std 883 for air-to-air testing.
