Environmental test chambers from the APT.line™
MKT series:
Environmental simulation chambers for complex temperature profiles in the low temperature range
The MKT test chambers meet all requirements for testing under extreme temperature conditions between -70 °C und +180 °C. The outstanding heating and cooling speeds permit even faster temperature changes and more complex test cycles to be performed than ever before.

* Valid at an ambient temperature up to 25 °C (77 °F)
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.
