CCSi features this high quality Refrigeration Chamber for the thermal conditioning and physical testing of various materials at subnormal temperatures (low temperature), when refrigerated air is the preferred heat transfer medium.
The Model HT8043 Subnormal Temperature Tester is especially well suited for testing materials under the conditions described in ASTM D3847 “Standard Practice for Rubber——Directions for Achieving Subnormal Test Temperatures”.
The Model HT8043 Refrigeration Chamber also features several test fixtures that are specifically designed to be operated under subnormal temperatures in the interior chamber. Complete descriptions of the instruments shown below may be found on their respective product pages.
