Climatic Test Chambers

Over many years Priorclave have developed considerable expertise in the design and construction of customised Climatic Test Chambers.

Priorclave Climatic Chambers can be used to simulate extremes of heat, cold, humidity and pressure either singly or together.

Although principally used by companies in the electronics, avionics and automotive industry Climatic Test Chambers are finding more uses in other areas of industry where product requires testing under varying climatic conditions. An example is the testing of food and pharmaceutical packaging in humid conditions.

  • A range of Benchtop and Floor Standing models are offered for Hot/Cold or Hot/Cold and Humidity testing in capacities between 50 and 100 litres.
  • Temperature ranges between +150 and either -40 or -70C are available with models cooled by liquid nitrogen available with cooling down to -196C.
  • Controlled humidities are available between 10 and 98% RH dependant upon temperature.

The above are our 'standard' range of chambers but over the years we have established a reputation for reliably fulfilling customer's individual specifications that other manufacturers would not attempt.

Examples of Climatic Test Chambers produced by Priorclave

Altitude chamber for testing aircraft components under extremes of temperature and pressure change. The chamber was able to simulate the temperature and pressure changes experienced by aircraft components during the rapid climb from takeoff of a jet fighter.
