About climatic test chambers
Climatic test chambers simulate environmental conditions to test product performance, durability and reliability. These chambers control temperature, humidity and light cycles to mimic real-world climates. Additionally, they support stability testing, accelerated aging, environmental stress screening and quality assurance across industries.
Applications range from electronics, automotive and aerospace to pharmaceuticals, packaging and materials research. Because climatic conditions affect product behavior, accurate control and repeatable test profiles are essential for valid results and regulatory compliance.
Types of test chambers and controlled conditions
Climatic chambers vary by size, control range and application requirements. From compact benchtop models to walk-in rooms, each type is designed to meet specific testing needs. In addition to temperature and humidity, many chambers offer programmable light cycles and rapid transition between test conditions.
CLIMATIC CHAMBER TYPES
- Temperature only chambers – controlled heating and cooling for basic thermal cycling.
- Temperature & humidity chambers – precise control of combined temperature and moisture.
- Thermal shock chambers – rapid transitions between hot and cold for stress screening.
- Humidity test cabinets – elevated humidity levels for corrosion and moisture resistance testing.
- Light-integrated climatic chambers – programmable light cycles for photostability and solar simulation.
- Walk-in environmental rooms – large volumes for finished products or prototypes.
- Benchtop climatic chambers – compact solutions for R&D and routine testing.
- Rapid temperature change units – for highly dynamic thermal profiles.
- Low temperature chambers – testing under freezing or sub-ambient conditions.
Key environmental parameters
Climatic test chambers typically control:
- Temperature – from deep cold to high heat (e.g., −70°C to +180°C and beyond in specialized units).
- Humidity – from dry conditions to high relative humidity (e.g., 10% to 98% RH).
- Light cycles – programmable on/off schedules to simulate day/night, photodegradation or UV exposure.
- Temperature ramp rates – controlled rates of change for thermal shock and cyclical testing.
