Temperature test chambers from the APT.line™

M series:
Temperature test chambers with forced convection and individual programming

Because of its individual programming options and ability to operate at maximum temperatures up to 300 °C, the M series is ideally suited for materials testing and aging tests. The heavy-duty air turbine and a programmable exhaust ventilation flap provide rapid heating-up and ensure that the test temperature is maintained absolutely precise at all levels, with minimal spatial fluctuations; performance as never before.

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.
