Constant Climatic Test Chamber For Temperature Humidity Test Of Plastic And Rubber Products

1. Product Name and Purpose

2. Product Features

Precise Climatic Control

• Wide Temperature Range
  • The chamber is capable of achieving a broad temperature range that is suitable for testing plastic and rubber products. It typically spans from - 40°C to + 150°C. This wide range is essential as different plastic and rubber materials have different temperature tolerance levels. For example, some plastics may become brittle at low temperatures, while rubber can lose its elasticity. High temperatures can cause plastic to deform or rubber to degrade. The temperature control is highly precise, with an accuracy of ±0.5°C. This precision allows for accurate replication of specific temperature conditions, enabling reliable testing of the materials' performance.
• Accurate Humidity Regulation
  • Humidity levels within the chamber can be precisely regulated from 10% to 95% relative humidity. Humidity can have a significant impact on plastic and rubber products. High humidity can lead to swelling, mold growth, and corrosion in some plastics, while it can cause rubber to lose its tensile strength and flexibility. Low humidity can cause plastic to become dry and brittle. The humidity control accuracy is within ±3% relative humidity, ensuring that the test environment closely mimics the real - world humidity conditions these products may encounter.

Stable and Uniform Environment

• Uniform Climatic Distribution
  • The interior of the constant climatic test chamber is designed to provide a uniform distribution of temperature and humidity throughout the test volume. Advanced air circulation systems, humidity - generating and - regulating mechanisms, and multiple sensors work in harmony to ensure that the temperature variation within the chamber is typically within ±1°C, and the humidity variation is within ±5% relative humidity. This uniformity is crucial for accurate testing, as it ensures that all parts of the plastic and rubber products are exposed to the same environmental conditions, eliminating any biases in the test results.
• Long - Term Stability
  • The chamber is capable of maintaining stable climatic conditions over long periods. This is essential for conducting long - term endurance tests on plastic and rubber products, which may require continuous exposure to specific temperature and humidity conditions for weeks, months, or even years. The chamber's stability ensures that the test conditions remain constant throughout the test, providing reliable and comparable results for accurate assessment of the materials' long - term performance.

Multiple Test Modes and Customization

• Programmable Test Profiles
  • Operators have the flexibility to create programmable test profiles that simulate the complex and variable environmental conditions that plastic and rubber products experience during their lifespan. These profiles can include cyclic changes in temperature and humidity to mimic seasonal variations, sudden changes to simulate extreme weather events, or custom - tailored profiles based on specific product requirements. For example, a test profile can be designed to simulate the temperature and humidity changes that a plastic automotive part may experience during a year of use, including exposure to hot summers and cold winters.
  • The ability to create customized test profiles allows manufacturers to test their products under conditions that are highly relevant to their actual use scenarios. This provides more accurate and meaningful test results, enabling them to better understand how the products will perform in real - world situations and make targeted improvements to enhance their performance and durability.
• Optional Test Accessories
  • The constant climatic test chamber can be equipped with a variety of optional test accessories to meet specific testing requirements. For plastic and rubber products, mechanical testing devices can be added to measure properties such as tensile strength, hardness, and elongation. These devices can be integrated into the chamber to test the materials' mechanical properties under different temperature and humidity conditions. Additionally, optical sensors can be installed to monitor changes in the appearance of the products, such as color fading or surface cracking.

User - Friendly Operation and Monitoring

• Intuitive Control Interface
  • The chamber is equipped with an intuitive control interface that simplifies the operation process. The interface allows operators to easily set and adjust test parameters, such as temperature, humidity, test duration, and test profiles. It also provides a clear display of the current test status, including the actual temperature and humidity values, elapsed test time, and any error messages. The user - friendly design ensures that even operators with limited technical expertise can efficiently conduct tests on plastic and rubber products.
• Remote Monitoring and Control
  • Many models of the constant climatic test chamber offer remote monitoring and control capabilities. This feature is highly beneficial for manufacturers and quality control teams, as it allows them to monitor the test progress and adjust the test parameters from a remote location, such as an office or a control center. This is especially useful for long - term tests or when multiple tests are being conducted simultaneously. Remote monitoring and control enable timely intervention in case of any issues, ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of the testing process.

6. Application Areas and Success Stories

• Automotive Industry
  • An automotive parts manufacturer was developing a new type of rubber gasket for use in the engine compartment. The gasket was tested in the constant climatic test chamber to evaluate its performance under high - temperature and high - humidity conditions. The testing revealed that the gasket material was prone to degradation and leakage at high temperatures. Based on this result, the manufacturer modified the rubber formulation and improved the gasket's design. The new gasket passed all subsequent tests and was successfully incorporated into the engine, reducing the risk of coolant leaks and improving the engine's reliability.
• Consumer Goods Industry
  • A plastic toy company was launching a new line of outdoor toys. The plastic parts of the toys were tested in the constant climatic test chamber to ensure their durability and safety under various environmental conditions. The testing showed that the plastic became brittle and cracked at low temperatures. The company then added a special additive to the plastic formulation to improve its cold - resistance. The new toys passed all the tests and were well - received by consumers, as they could withstand different weather conditions without breaking.
• Construction Industry
  • A construction company was using rubber seals for window installations. The seals were tested in the constant climatic test chamber to evaluate their performance under long - term exposure to changing temperature and humidity. The testing indicated that the seals lost their elasticity and sealing ability over time. The company switched to a different type of rubber seal with better resistance to environmental factors. The new seals improved the energy efficiency of the buildings by preventing air and water leakage, resulting in cost savings for the building owners.
