With the climatic test chamber, climate change tests can be carried out according to DIN EN ISO 9142 and DIN EN 1279 on samples of substances and small format components. It is possible to set the temperature from -80 °C to + 180 °C and to adjust the humidity to values between 10 % and 98 % relative humidity in a range of + 10 °C to + 95 °C. Furthermore, the rapid heating and cooling rates of up to 3 K / min allow rapid temperature changes and thus accompanying high thermal stresses to be transmitted to the materials. In addition, by controlling the temperature and humidity, substance and large-format samples can be conditioned under controlled conditions.
