ESPEC can provide custom-built chambers for simultaneous testing of temperature and low-pressure altitude conditions. Two common applications are:
Testing of avionics or other aerospace equipment to simulate actual conditions it might experience.
Simulation of high-altitude conditions like might be found in mountainous regions.
Applicable test methods (depending on chamber system specified)
Mil-Std 202G (conditions 105C, A/B/C/F)
Mil-Std 810G (condition 500.5)
IEC 60068-2-39
IEC 60068-2-40
RTCA/DO-160F
JIS W 0812
NOTE: Altitude chambers are custom systems, and differing requirements may significantly change the cost and utility requirements. Please let ESPEC know as much detail as possible about your anticipated testing specification/method, and we can provide you with a tailored system for your requirements.
