Climatic chambers for compliance with MIL-STD 810 method 521.4 icing/freezing rain

Ice formation can be one of the causes that can hinder the performance and durability of a material. This formation can affect moving parts, increase risks to personnel, cause structural failure, and more. Method 521.4 of MIL-STD 810 is used to evaluate the effect of ice on materials and systems, simulating their performance during operation when exposed to ice formation from rain, drizzle, fog, splashes, or other sources.

The CCK-T series climatic test chambers can be modified to accommodate a system that allows for this test. Depending on the sample size, the CCK-T series offers different volumes as needed. All of this is controlled by an advanced microprocessor and remote control and recording software. If you’d like more information, please don’t hesitate to contact our technical and sales department so we can advise you on the most appropriate solution for your needs.

CETM-70/1450T, chamber for thermal testing in accordance with MIL-STD-810 method 501.7

 One of the leading standards in environmental testing in the defence sector is MIL-STD 810, which covers the different environmental tests that samples must undergo to ensure their storage and operation throughout their useful life. This standard covers various test methods, and specifically, Method 501.7 is dedicated to high-temperature testing to evaluate the effects of high-temperature conditions on the safety, integrity and performance of the material, simulating conditions where temperatures (ambient or induced) are higher than standard ambient temperature. High temperatures can affect the performance of the material by modifying the physical properties or dimensions of the material or materials that compose it.

The DYCOMETAL climatic chamber, CETM-70/1450T, has been designed to comply with the tests indicated in this test method. The system has been adapted in volume to the customer’s needs. It has a reinforced floor for positioning the samples and two shelves for lighter samples. All of this is controlled by a 7″ touchscreen control panel with associated control and recording software on a PC.

LARGE VOLUME THERMAL SHOCK CHAMBER - 2500 LITRES, MODEL: CRT2H-40/2500

Thermal shock chambers are a fundamental element for the thermal fatigue testing of materials, equipment and automatisms. They are predominantly used in the following industries: aeronautics, automotive, military, electronics, telecommunications, space and, in general, in the materials research industry. The configuration of these chambers is usually vertical, but when the parts have a very large volume, it is necessary to opt for a horizontal design that allows the thermal shock to be carried out from right to left and vice versa.

The CRT2H-40/2500 thermal shock chamber was a great challenge for Dycometal, since few chambers with this volume have been manufactured, nor so demanding. The development of the chamber was carried out by our technical and design department with the customer, designing equipment in accordance with their requirements.

THERMOSTATIC BATH FOR COMBAT HELMETS TESTING, MODEL: BTE-1080.

All equipment carried by a country's armed forces is subjected to the most stringent environmental testing to ensure maximum safety and protection for the soldier. One of these elements are combat helmets, which must preserve their impact resistance after undergoing a temperature-controlled immersion test in salt water, simulating sea conditions and extreme temperature and ageing conditions.

In order to verify the immersion resistance of the combat helmets, DYCOMETAL has developed the special thermostatic bath BTE-1080e which allows a complete immersion up to 1 metre deep in salt water at a given temperature. The immersion/elevation system is fully automated so that the process is controlled at all times. Its construction has been developed in stainless steel to withstand the conditions of such a demanding test.

TEMPERATURE TEST CHAMBER FOR TESTING ON TRANSMITTING ANTENNAS, MODEL: CETM-40/979MT

Mobile telephony has become one of the essential elements of our daily lives, and it would be unthinkable for us not to have this technology at our disposal one day. This technology is based on the use of transmitting antennas, which have become part of our natural environment and which must be able to withstand the most aggressive environmental conditions: rain, solar radiation, extreme temperatures (desert or polar), etc. To this end, antenna manufacturers must have a laboratory prepared to simulate real environmental conditions, taking into account the energy dissipation that the antennas will generate during operation, thus guaranteeing correct operation 365 days a year.

The temperature test chamber CETM-40/979MT was designed to reach extreme operating temperatures, taking into account the energy dissipation of the transmitting antennas as well as its own mass. Its mobile design allows the chamber to be easily moved and its reduced volume makes it a space-saving chamber in the laboratory. A powerful chamber in a compact package.

CLIMATIC TEST CHAMBER FOR THE STUDY OF PHOTOSENSITIVE SENSORS, MODEL: CCK-40/300T

There are a considerable number of sensors for measuring all kinds of physical or chemical parameters, among which there are some sensors that can be photosensitive, where light can affect their performance. These sensors, as well as those that are not affected by light, must be subjected to climatic and thermal tests, to verify their performance under extreme conditions, but with the proviso that they must be climatic tests without the presence of light. For this purpose, the climatic chamber is built with a blind door, without a window, so that light access to the test chamber is reduced to a minimum. In addition, other parameters are taken into account to avoid possible reflections inside the chamber.

The CCK-40/300T climatic chamber has been modified to reduce the possible entry of light as much as possible, so that the sensors are not affected. It also has the capacity to control the climatic variables necessary to stress the electronic boards and photosensitive sensors.

TEMPERATURE TEST CHAMBER FOR AMMUNITION FIELD TESTS. MODEL, CCK-70/125

Within the quality control of armament ammunition, there are various types of environmental tests: thermal, climatic, solar radiation, corrosion, etc., with thermal tests being one of the most common. During these tests, the parts are subjected to both positive and negative temperatures, and this test has to be carried out both in the laboratory and in real field tests, where the sample is tempered before being used under the indicated conditions. In order to temper the samples, it must be possible to take the chamber to the field.

The thermal test chamber model CETM-70/125 has been developed to maintain a good ergonomics, positioning the control in the upper part of the chamber and the cooling group in the lower part, as well as vibration absorption systems for the transport of the equipment in a comfortable way in a lorry.
