THERMAL TESTING OF HEAVY COMPONENTS FOR THE DEFENSE INDUSTRY: CETM-70/1500-4P THERMAL TEST CHAMBER

 A returning client—a renowned manufacturer of automotive lighting systems—contacted us once again to supply a new climatic test chamber. This time, however, they required a more specialized solution: a cubic design capable of accommodating a mock-up with lighting systems mounted in their actual vehicle-installed orientation, allowing for precise climatic testing.

The specific requirements were:
👉 Access from both sides of the chamber (4 doors).
👉 A temperature range of -70 ºC to +150 ºC.
👉 Thermal gradients of 1 K/min (from -65 ºC to +125 ºC) while under load.
👉 A reinforced floor to support heavy test specimens.
👉 A compact system design.

OUR SOLUTION: A custom-designed 1500-liter chamber—our DYCOMETAL CETM-70/1500-4P model. This is a redesign of our standard two-door, 1500-liter chamber (1000 x 1500 x 1000 mm H x W x D). The unit features both internal and external reinforcement, with a cascade refrigeration system positioned on top of the chamber to minimize its laboratory footprint. The reinforced floor supports very heavy components, while the four-door configuration allows for the loading and unloading of test items from either side of the chamber. The entire system is managed by an advanced microprocessor with integrated software for remote operation.

LASER-BASED MEASUREMENT OF CONCRETE UNDER STABLE TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS: HIGH-STABILITY OVEN (MODEL AFA-75/1972Te)

 A prominent technological center specializing in geology and construction materials approached us, seeking a solution that would allow them to measure concrete specimens using laser technology while the samples were maintained under highly stable temperature conditions.

Their requirements included:
👉 A custom-designed interior.
👉 A temperature range of up to +75 ºC.
👉 A viewing/measurement system on both sides of the unit, equipped with insulated covers for use when measurements are not being taken.
👉 Reinforced, rail-mounted trays to facilitate the easy loading and unloading of samples.

OUR SOLUTION: The AFA-75/1972Te forced-air circulation oven—a high-stability unit with internal dimensions of 1700 x 800 x 1450 mm (H x W x D), designed specifically for the client. The unit features highly transparent glass panels on both sides—comprising 20 windows in total—which allow for the measurement of the concrete during testing. The entire system is managed via a 7-inch color touchscreen interface, supported by dedicated data-logging and control software, with an optional Webviewer feature for remote operation from various devices.

HOW WELL DOES YOUR BIKE STAND UP TO SALT AND CORROSION? SALT SPRAY CHAMBER, SSC- SERIES

 A bike can look great on the showroom floor, but what happens after months of rain, road salt and daily use?

Corrosion can affect frames, screws, bolts, welds and other metal components. And when it comes to e-bikes, there are even more parts worth paying attention to.

That’s where salt spray testing comes in.

Using a salt spray chamber, manufacturers can expose materials and coated components to a controlled corrosive environment and check how well they resist corrosion. It’s a practical way to compare coatings, spot weaknesses and improve product durability before the bike reaches the customer.

Of course, passing a salt spray test doesn’t guarantee years of real-world performance. But it does provide valuable information during product development and quality control.
Because a good bike isn’t just about how it rides. It’s also about how well it holds up over time.

SALT SPRAY CORROSION TESTING FOR AMMUNITION. SALT SPRAY CHAMBER, SSC-1000 NG

Our client contacted us with a need to test a large number of 60 mm projectiles to evaluate how the samples perform when exposed to corrosion. Furthermore, they required additional safety systems to minimize any potential risks.

The specific requirements were:
👉 1000-liter capacity.
👉 Reinforced floor.
👉 Additional safety features.
👉 Specialized angled supports.

OUR SOLUTION: Our standard salt spray chamber, the DYCOMETAL SSC-1000NG. With a 1,000-liter usable capacity, it can accommodate up to 30 angled 60 mm projectiles, thanks to supports custom-designed for this project. The system also incorporates extra safety measures to prevent any risks that might arise inside the chamber. Everything is controlled via a PLC with a touchscreen interface, which displays test profiles and allows for data export to facilitate the creation of test reports.

THERMAL TESTING OF ENGINE INTAKE MANIFOLDS: CETM-50/3200e TEMPERATURE TEST CHAMBER

 A major engineering firm sought to integrate a thermal testing system to evaluate material fatigue, structural integrity, and gasket performance under conditions of accelerated thermal aging for engine intake manifolds. Intake manifolds—whether made of plastic or metal—are subjected to extreme conditions under the hood, including thermal cycling, rapid temperature fluctuations, pressure changes, and vibration. A failure in the material or a breach in the seal can lead to performance loss, air/fuel leaks, or even serious engine damage. Validating their performance prior to mass production is a critical and essential step.

The requirements specified were:
👉 Large internal volume.
👉 Ergonomic design.
👉 A test range of -40 ºC to +130 ºC.
👉 Temperature change rates (gradients) of 2 K/min for both cooling and heating, accounting for the thermal mass and heat dissipation of three aluminum test samples.
👉 Additional safety features for a glycol-based system.

OUR SOLUTION: The DYCOMETAL CETM-50/3200e-2P thermal test chamber. This model is specifically designed to accommodate three samples in parallel, utilizing three reinforced shelves. Its internal dimensions—1000 x 1600 x 2000 mm (H x W x D)—allow for ergonomic positioning of the samples, with ample space for external system connections routed through four 150 mm access ports. The entire process is managed via an advanced controller and its associated software.
