Environmental chambers provide the ability to evaluate the effect of temperatureon the physical properties of materials including textiles, fibers, plastic films andcomposites. A full line of grips and adapters that insulate the load cell from heattransference operates in conjunction with the chamber to offer a total solution forenvironmental applications.
Chambers are available in temperatures ranging from -100° F to 600° F (-73° Cto 315° C) and in dimensions up to 20 in H (508 mm) x 10 in W (254 mm) x 12 in D(305 mm). The large internal space provides travel for testing a variety of materialsand simplifies changing grips and fixtures.
Designed to be mounted between the columns, the chamber can be mounted onfixed mounting brackets which bolt to the test frame or roller mounting brackets whichenables the chamber to be pushed aside when not in use.
This new environmental chamber isspecifically designed for use withThwing-Albert’s EJA Vantage-1 andVantage-5 single-column instruments.The chamber provides the ability to testmaterials from -100° F to 300° F (-73° Cto 149° C). A full line of grips operatesin conjunction with the chamber to meeta wide range of applications.
The chamber has an internal heightdimension of 20 in (508 mm) providingenough travel for testing a variety ofmaterials including textiles, fibers, plasticfilms and composites. In addition, thelarge internal space makes changinggrips and fixtures a simple matter.
The chamber is shipped pre-mountedon the Vantage frame and easily slides onbearings for testing with or without theuse of the chamber. A built-in viewingwindow and internal light enables theoperator to view the test in progress. Inaddition, the door is equipped with anupper and lower locking device and aninterlock switch that cuts power to theheater when the door is open.
The Vantage chamber is equipped with aEurotherm 2116 temperature controller.This advanced system ensures excellent setpoint temperature control and will shut downthe unit completely as soon as the definedtemperature is reached.
