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).
