Can I have a test chamber? ....These are the questions we will ask you.

Simultech believes that when we supply a test chamber, it should suit our customer’s testing needs, while our customers know their products, its unusual for them to know test chambers and the many factors that influence the performance of a test chamber. Simultech’s 20 years of experience with test chambers and the experience that this provides is one of the benefits of working with Simultech.

Below are a series of questions that we will typically ask when trying to understand your exact requirements.

Common questions include:

1. What testing do you wish to perform, are you testing to a standard? Could you provide us with a full test profile?

2. What are the exact temperature and humidity points you wish to perform tests at?

3. Is the temperature ramp rate required based on the temperature of the specimen or the air temperature in the chamber?

4. If ramp rate is important then what are the dimensions, weight and materials used in your product?

5. Will the specimen be powered on or off during testing and if on, what is its heat load during the various parts of the test?

6. Are there cables connected to your product and how do you wish them routed out of the chamber?

7. How do you plan to orientate the specimen within the test chamber?

8. Can the product be damaged by overheating?

9. Does the product contain explosive materials within it such as solvents or batteries?

10. Is hazardous condensate produced by your test?

11. What power do you have available?

12. Do you have a fork lift available and have you considered the path the chamber will take from the delivery truck to the test lab?
