Environmental Chambers and Furnaces

Enviromental Chambers (-70°C to 300°C)

An internal radial fan provides efficient air circulation which minimizes temperature gradients throughout the chamber. A digital controller ensures accurate temperature control. Low, sub-zero temperature testing is available via a self-pressurising liquid nitrogen Dewar.

The chamber door is fitted with a triple glazed window for viewing the test area and also scanning the sample for strain measurements when using the Tinius Olsen 500L laser Extensometer. When liquid nitrogen is used, a demisting facility is fitted.

The chamber is supported on a frame located between the columns of the testing machine. When the chamber is not in use, the chamber can be rolled back and parked clear of the operating area.
