Thermal Shock Chambers

Thermal shock test chambers are designed to test the rapid temperature changes that products can experience in the real world, from extreme desert heat to the Arctic cold. Whether you’re developing a new product or testing an existing one, our thermal shock test chambers can help you ensure that your products can withstand the rigours of the real world.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a thermal shock chamber?

A thermal shock chamber, also known as a thermal shock test chamber, is a testing device designed to subject materials or products to rapid and extreme temperature changes. It typically consists of two or more zones maintained at different temperatures.

What is the use of a thermal shock chamber?

Thermal shock chambers are used to evaluate how materials or products withstand sudden temperature changes. This is crucial for testing components used in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and other industries where materials may experience rapid temperature fluctuations.

How does a thermal shock chamber work?

A thermal shock chamber works by quickly transferring test specimens between hot and cold zones. This can be done using a basket system that moves the samples, or by having the samples stationary and changing the chamber conditions around them. The rapid temperature change stresses the materials, revealing potential weaknesses or failures.
