Altitude Test Chambers vs Vacuum Ovens

Altitude Test Chambers vs Vacuum Ovens

Both the altitude test chamber and the vacuum oven can create a low-pressure environment. Therefore, some tests can be conducted in both chambers. How can we distinguish between these two environmental chambers?

The altitude test chamber simulates conditions at different altitudes by creating low-pressure environments. Additionally, temperature and humidity conditions can be incorporated for testing. It is suitable for testing products in fields such as aviation, aerospace, telecommunications, and electronics.

Air pressure range: normal pressure to 0.5kPa

Temperature range: -20/-40/-70℃ to 150℃

Humidity range: 20% to 98%RH

 

The vacuum oven test chamber creates a low-pressure environment by extracting air from the oven to form a vacuum. It is primarily used for heat treatment, such as drying heat-sensitive, easily decomposable, and easily oxidizable substances. Applicable industries include medicine, materials, and electronics.

There are two main differences between the vacuum oven and the altitude test chamber: first, the altitude test chamber can perform humidity tests, while the vacuum oven can operate at higher temperatures.

Temperature range:RT20℃ to 300℃

Vacuum range:101 to 0.133kPa

 

Both altitude test chambers and vacuum ovens are custom products. The selection should be based on the test conditions and the intended purpose of the product. Additionally, if the product being tested poses a risk of explosion or fire, it is essential to customize safety explosion-proof devices.
