Designed to determine the resistance of materials, components, or assemblies to sudden changes in temperature. The chamber simulates extreme environmental conditions by rapidly transitioning between high and low temperatures — exposing test specimens to alternating hot and cold extremes. This process identifies potential issues such as cracking, delamination, or failure caused by thermal stress, making it ideal for aerospace, electronics, automotive, and materials science industries.
Advanced dual-zone and three-zone configurations for controlled thermal shock testing under repeatable conditions.
Two separate areas — one for high temperatures and one for low temperatures. The sample is rapidly transferred between these zones to undergo the thermal shock, ensuring sharp, well-defined temperature transitions.
Adds an intermediate zone that stabilizes the sample at a neutral temperature before moving it into the high or low-temperature zone. This helps reduce mechanical stress on the sample and enables more gradual thermal profiles when required.
Systems transfer the specimen between temperature zones, or circulate air for a stationary test environment — depending on test requirements and sample size.
Equipped with programmable controllers to set specific test profiles, durations, and cycles — with repeatable execution across production and R&D environments.
Ideal for testing metals, plastics, composites, and ceramics for thermal expansion, contraction, and potential failures like cracking or delamination.
Configurable parameters to match a wide range of international thermal shock test standards.
Typically −70 °C to +200 °C — covering extreme hot and cold conditions for thermal stress evaluation.
Usually within 5–15 seconds for rapid testing, ensuring sharp thermal shocks between zones.
Programmable for continuous or custom cycles — with multi-step profiles and repeatable execution.
Programmable controllers set specific profiles, durations, and cycles for unattended operation.
