Temperature test chambers from the APT.line™

FP series:
Temperature test chambers with forced convection

FP series chambers are designed for the most demanding test applications and are particularly effective, thanks to their extensive programming abilities. The forced convection reliably facilitates quick drying times as well as extra rapid heating-up, even with fully loaded chambers.

1) value without window
2) up to 98 % of the set value
3) The air change depends on the inner chamber- and ambient temperature. Further measurement of air change rate in acc. to ASTM D5374 with definition and protocol are optional.

All specified technical data apply for standard equipment operating at an ambient temperature of 25 °C (77 °F), with line voltage fluctuations of ± 10%. These typical average values for series equipment were determined in accordance with the BINDER factory standard. They are based upon the recommended distances from the inner chamber walls, namely 10% of height, width and depth. Differing ambient temperatures or variances in the design of individual equipment may produce different performance data.

We therefore recommend that equipment be calibrated and/or validated on a case-by-case basis when working at the extremes of the permissible ambient temperature range.
