SOLAR SIMULATION CHAMBER FOR AGING TESTS ON BUILDING MATERIALS, CL-294

 Solar radiation is one of the main degradation factors for different materials exposed to sunlight. An accelerated ageing test using solar simulation will allow the durability of construction materials or raw materials, etc. to be assessed. This type of accelerated tests can control the energy radiated on a surface, as well as the temperature, allowing to simulate the climatic conditions that will degrade the materials outdoors and to verify that there is no non-conformity in the product.

Our CL-294 chamber has been designed to be able to carry out solar simulation tests under controlled temperature environments. Its interior dimensions of 600 x 700 x 700 mm have been studied to have a certain area of irradiation on a reinforced tray. In addition, its reflective interior improves the interior irradiation conditions. The solar simulation system consists of a powerful lamp positioned above the test chamber at a certain height to guarantee irradiation. The temperature is controlled by an advanced microprocessor to guarantee specific environmental conditions.

CLIMATIC TEST CHAMBER FOR NEW COMPOSITE MATERIALS, CCK-0/125T

The industrial sector is continuously researching to create lighter, more efficient and sustainable solutions for mobility. Sectors such as aerospace, automotive, railway, are looking to lighten weights in order to reduce consumption and CO2 footprint, which is why composite materials play a crucial role in new materials. These elements have the advantage of being light, resistant and sustainable, but research, development and validation of the materials are necessary to guarantee the quality and performance of these new materials through tests and analyses. Within laboratory testing, an important test is climatic testing to evaluate the behaviour of materials under different environmental conditions.

Our CCK-0/125T chamber has been manufactured to meet the curing tests of composite materials at high temperature and high humidity, as well as for environmental tests under working conditions of drying, in this way, the specimens will be conditioned to be subsequently tested in physical-chemical tests under different loading conditions. In addition, the chamber has been equipped with a gas with GWP below 150 in accordance with the new F-Gas.

CLIMATIC CHAMBER FOR DRYING CONCRETE SAMPLES, CCKMB-10/2016T

One of the most widely used construction materials in architectural and engineering works worldwide is concrete, whose base is cement, sand and stones (or gravel), thanks to its high malleability, great consistency, low cost and fast drying. It is also a 100% recyclable material and contributes to energy efficiency in buildings. In order to evaluate its different properties in laboratories, the specimens are subjected to different climatic tests of curing, conditioning or drying under controlled environmental conditions.

In DYCOMETAL we have manufactured our CCKMB-10/2016T chamber for drying concrete specimens under controlled temperature and humidity conditions. A large volume chamber, built on a metal structure to have mobility and to be easily moved. In addition to providing greater ergonomics for the pieces. Since up to one ton of samples will be tested, the chamber has a reinforced structure, as well as reinforced trays to place the samples inside. Its advanced touchscreen-based control allows users to easily and conveniently access test information.

ISO 6270-2, DETERMINATION OF RESISTANCE TO CONDENSATION IN PAINTS AND VARNISHES

ISO 6270-2 (Determination of resistance to humidity. Part 2: Procedure for exposing test specimens in condensation-water atmospheres) establishes conditions and procedures for the conditioning of samples in order to evaluate the behaviour and defects that can develop when samples are subjected to high humidity environments. This test establishes 3 different types of atmospheres: CH – Condensing atmosphere with constant humidity; AHT – Condensing atmosphere with alternating humidity and air temperature; AT – Condensing atmosphere with alternating air temperature.

Normally, condensing chambers are presented in a vertical format with a capacity of approximately 300 litres, but… What happens when we want to test large parts? In this case, Dycometal’s solution is the condensing chamber in horizontal format with a large width dimension in order to be able to introduce the largest samples. This horizontal design allows several samples to be positioned in parallel for testing. Volumes of 1000 or 2000 litres provide more than enough capacity to accommodate large specimen lengths.

CYCLIC CORROSION CHAMBER FOR COMPLIANCE WITH ISO 11997-1 – PAINTS AND VARNISHES, SSCK

ISO 11997-1 (Determination of resistance to cyclic corrosion conditions) describes the method for the determination of the resistance of coatings to one of the 4 defined cycles under humidity (salt spray)/dryness/humidity conditions using specific solutions. This method is used to compare the resistance of different coatings to cyclic salt spray exposure. It is most commonly used to provide a rating scale for a series of painted specimens that show significant differences in resistance to cyclic salt spray exposure. This standard has different types of cycles: A: based on Japanese standards, B: based on VDA 621-415 used in Europe, C: developed in the UK for water soluble paints or latex paint, D: based on Japanese standards.

Our SSCK cyclic corrosion models have been developed for compliance with this standard in any of its cycles. With 5 different volumes, they can be adapted to the space requirements of customers and their programmer with associated software will allow the test to be recorded and a full report to be produced.
