An extensive range of high-quality thermal vacuum chambers.
Simulating the severe conditions of space, the computer-controlled Thermal Vacuum chambers can subject units to the extremes of their working environment, mimicking the night and day experienced by the spacecraft as it moves in and out of sunlight. The chambers can cycle temperature from 100°C to -196°C whilst simultaneously maintaining a space vacuum of at least 1.3E-5 mbar.
An extensive range of hermetically sealed connector feedthroughs enable units to be powered and tested whilst enduring thermal vacuum simulation. The temperature of the test item can be constantly monitored and recorded throughout the test campaign with the use of multiple T-Type thermocouples connected to a state of the art data logger, which also logs the pressure of the chamber.
Test temperatures, dwell times and ramp rates are fully customisable to enable a wide range of products to be tested to specific customer requirements.
