CLIMATIC TESTING FOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. CCK-30/1500T CLIMATIC CHAMBER

A major European university needed a chamber to conduct climatic tests on thermal and acoustic insulation materials, controlling temperature and humidity. This client already owned freeze-thaw (FTH) chambers from our company and entrusted us with the task of finding a suitable chamber for their needs.

The required specifications were:
👉 Medium-to-large chamber volume for all types of samples.
👉 Temperature range suitable for construction materials.
👉 Humidity control.
👉 High stability and uniformity.
 
OUR SOLUTION: The 1500-liter climatic test chamber, MODEL: CCK-30/1500T. This 1500-liter chamber, measuring 1000 x 1000 x 1500 mm (H x W x D), provided ample space for long test specimens. The chamber offered a temperature range from -30°C to +150°C and cooling gradients of 2.5 K/min and heating gradients of 4 K/min, enabling it to perform even some freeze-thaw tests. The CCK-T systems feature extended relative humidity control for conducting tests with more demanding humidity requirements. All of this was controlled via an advanced 7” touchscreen control system and our new totem with an operating status indicator light.

CLIMATIC TESTING ON SELF-ADHESIVE LABELS. 🏷🏷

MODEL CCK-20/48T
Climatic testing of self-adhesive labels is essential to ensure that the product does not peel, fade, or degrade prematurely. When writing a report or test plan, you should focus on how the face (fronting material), the adhesive, and the substrate (application surface) interact under environmental stress.
 
👉 Temperature Resistance
👉 Humidity and Condensation Resistance
👉 Post-Climate Mechanical Testing
 
Initial requirements for selecting the most suitable chamber could be:
• Small volume.
• Negative temperature ranges.
• Relative humidity control.
• Data logging system for reporting.
 
OUR SOLUTION: Our smallest climatic chamber, the DYCOMETAL CCK-20/48T, with a capacity of 48 liters. A compact benchtop chamber, both internally and externally, for easy installation in the laboratory, enabling the testing of small samples. With a temperature range from -20°C to +150°C and extended relative humidity control, it allows samples to be subjected to the ambient conditions of storage and transport. Advanced controls and software enable the recording of all test data for subsequent report generation.

THERMAL TESTING FOR OPTICAL MEASUREMENTS UNDER CONTROLLED TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS.

THERMAL TEST CHAMBER: CETM-70/125T
A client in the electronics sector was looking for a thermal test chamber for the characterization of materials and devices with optical properties (sensors, coatings, fibers, etc.). These elements are affected by environmental conditions.
 
Key points to consider:
👉 Variation of optical properties (transmittance, reflectance, refractive index) with temperature.
👉 Potential measurement errors due to thermal gradients or condensation on optical windows.
👉 Integration of optical instrumentation (sources, detectors, fibers) in a controlled environment without disturbing the sample.
👉 Need for reproducibility in thermal cycles (heating/cooling).
👉 Isolation from vibrations and external disturbances that could affect the optical signal.
 
Our client, in the electronics sector, needed a powerful temperature control system to evaluate how environmental conditions affect device behavior in order to analyze different technical parameters under controlled temperature conditions.
 
OUR SOLUTION: CETM-70/125T. A thermal testing chamber adapted to perform these tests, taking into account the client's needs. It features through-hole systems to support anti-vibration systems. The chamber has high-quality optical windows: one on the front and another located in the ceiling for conducting optical studies. It includes a system to prevent condensation on samples. A cryogenic nitrogen system allows for reaching extreme temperatures below +100°C. All of this is achieved while controlling the temperature of the sample.

HIGH-TEMPERATURE MATERIAL BEHAVIOR STUDIES FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE SECTORS SUCH AS AERONAUTICS AND AUTOMOTIVE.

AFA-200/3000T FORCED-AIR OVEN.
 
The main activities in high-temperature studies:
👉 Characterization and Testing: We perform tests on plastics and composites.
👉 High-Performance Composites with high thermal resistance.
👉 Analysis of the effect of high temperature on mechanical properties.
 
These studies are crucial for the development of materials that maintain their mechanical and structural properties under demanding thermal conditions.
 
However, these components are often large, requiring:
 
• Large volumes
• Temperature ranges up to +200ºC
• High heating capacities
• Good temperature homogeneity and uniformity
 
OUR SOLUTION: AFA-200/3000T. A forced-air circulation oven with a rapid heating gradient and a large interior space of 1500 x 2000 x 1000 mm (H x W x D), 3 m³. A double-door system with double viewing windows allows for continuous monitoring of the test. The reinforced floor allows for the introduction of heavy samples. In addition, there are several penetrations for inserting extra sensors to position over the samples. All of this is controlled by a programmable system with a 7” touchscreen for performing cyclic tests, thanks to the extraction system that lowers the temperature inside the test chamber without the need for a separate refrigeration unit.

HOW TO PROPERLY TEST PAINT DRYING UNDER CONTROLLED CONDITIONS? CCK-25/125T CLIMATIC CHAMBER

 A client in the paint industry encountered a problem:
👉 They needed to validate a drying time recording system.
👉 But they lacked a controlled environment to guarantee reliable results.
 
The challenge wasn't just introducing the equipment…
It was ensuring:
• adequate airflow
• stable temperature and humidity conditions
• sufficient space for the system and the samples
 
OUR SOLUTION: the CCK-25/125T. A compact unit with an interior space of 500 x 500 x 500 mm provided ample room for both the recorder and small samples. It offered a testing temperature range of -25°C to +150°C and climate control between 10% and 95% RH, parameters that met the client's requirements. The standard two trays increased the load capacity for both samples. Furthermore, its small external dimensions allowed it to fit perfectly within the available laboratory space. All of this was managed by our advanced control system, based on a touchscreen and remote PC control software.
Our solutions are tailored to our clients.
