Temperature / Environmental Chambers For Tensile Testers

Temperature / Environmental Chambers For Tensile Testers

Designed to fit all makes and models of universal testing machine (Instron, ZwickRoell, Tinius Olsen, etc), our range of environmental chambers enable controlled environmental testing and provide extensive temperature testing capabilities.

They’re effective for performing a variety of tests, including cyclic tests, temperature testing, thermal shock testing, and tensile testing at specified temperatures within a range of -80°C to +280°C (-180°C to +450°C available as an option).

German-designed and manufactured, this economically priced chamber comes with a two year warranty as standard. It’s fully customisable to meet your unique environment testing requirements, with full support offered by AML’s team of engineers, including environmental chamber calibration and repair.

Delivery in under a week on all stock sizes!

Benefits

  • Designed to work with any tension apparatus and can be customised to meet unique application needs.
  • Durable stainless steel construction enhances longevity and resistance to environmental fluctuations.
  • Melted, polished, and brushed from the outside for a professional finish.
  • Self-supported two-fold body frame made of 2mm thick stainless steel grade 316.
  • Software included for segmented tests at different ramps and dwells.
  • Front door contains four glass panes, enabling users to easily see samples inside the chamber.
  • Heating coils are fitted between the inner glass plates to prevent the glass frosting.
  • Frame to easily move the chamber into and out of the test frame.
  • Chamber with adjustable feet is carried by the bearings and can be moved up to 24 inches (611 mm) away from the tensile tester.
  • Forced air circulation helps achieve consistent, efficient, and reliable environmental testing conditions.
  • Pullrod hole has a Teflon guide tube (external as standard) to reduce friction and wear on the pullrod as it moves (optional internal Teflon guide tube also available).
  • High heat-up and cool speeds — Heat up speed 15°C/Minute (from 20°C to 80°C without grip). Cooling requires liquid nitrogen, controlled by a magnetic valve on the rear of the chamber.
  • Sika self-tuning PID Temperature Controller with 0.1 °C resolution (optional Omron RS-232 serial or Eurotherm RS-485).
  • PT 100 temperature sensor (RTD).
  • Two year warranty (extendable to three years).
  • Full range of grips and fixtures available to cover the extreme temperature range our chambers can cover.
  • Bespoke sizes and designs available to order.

Standard Model

TH 2700: Standard size (generally in stock)

Internal Dimensions: 220mm x 220mm x 580mm
External Dimensions: 360mm x480mm x 766mm
Weight: 50kg
Construction: Fabricated from stainless steel with brushed finish.
Operation Mode: Offline testing/ lab use with Tensile or Universal Tester.
Materials: Sheet materials, plastics, metals, building products.
Power Rating: Heating power: 2.3 kW (220 Volt).
Control Temperature Range: -80+°C + 280°C.
Temperature Control Accuracy:
+/-0.2°C accuracy at 4°C setpoint
+/0.5°C accuracy at 65°C setpoint
+/- 3°C accuracy at -80°C or at +280°C
Temperature Sensor: PT 100 temperature sensor (RTD)
Control Console: 19” rack-mountable control console with 4m cable.
Heat-Up Speed: 15°C/Minute (from 20 to 80°C without grips fitted).
Energy consumption of the standard TH2700 without grips:
100°C 0.11 kWh/h
