A climatic chamber, also known as a humidity chamber, is a commonly used piece of equipment in laboratories. It enables a wide range of applications for hot or cold testing, with temperature and humidity levels varying according to the model. A climatic chamber is designed to simulate a specific environment by controlling temperature, humidity, light, and pressure inside the test chamber. The aim of environmental testing is to simulate stress factors in order to assess a product’s reliability under defined conditions.
Test chambers can provide dry or humid heat, dry or humid cold, and may even include freezing, icing, or rainfall capabilities. Rapid temperature variations and full environmental control make it possible to study the effects of oxidation, corrosion, swelling, and other changes in material properties. For accelerated growth tests, a stable-temperature chamber is essential to avoid thermal shocks, which are intentionally induced in stability testing protocols.
A humidity chamber is a specific type of climatic chamber designed to regulate relative humidity. It is ideal for environmental testing and accelerated life cycle tests according to standards such as IEC 60068-2-67 and IEC 60068-2-78. The HCP series by Memmert includes chambers that prevent condensation and evaporation while offering homogeneous temperature and humidity conditions.
Brands like Binder and Memmert are renowned for their high-performance climatic chambers that comply with international harmonisation guidelines. Thanks to PELTIER technology, an innovative and energy-efficient heating system, these chambers offer superior precision, efficiency, and flexibility compared to conventional test chambers.
