Climatic Test Chambers
| Climatic chambers are used to test equipment under different
temperatures and relative humidities (RH). The temperature range and stability
are denoted below by (min/max)±D ºC, where
min is the minimal, max is the maximal adjustable
temperature in ºC, and DºC is the 24 hour temperature stability.
Likewise, (min/max)±D %RH denotes the relative
humidity range and stability. Temperature and relative humidity are not completely
independent, but are constrained by a dew-point of at least 5ºC (9ºC
for walk-in chambers). |
