The BINDER MK series
Environmental simulation chamber for cyclical temperature
The BINDER environmental simulation chamber of the MK series is suitable for heat or cold testing between -40 °C and 180 °C (-40 °F and 356 °F). The APT.line™ preheating chamber technology uniquely simulates a natural environment. For cyclical temperature testing, this environmental simulation chamber is a smart alternative to complex individual solutions.

All technical data are specified for units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of 25 °C (77 °F) and a line voltage fluctuation of ±10%. The temperature data is determined in accordance to factory standard following DIN 12880, respecting the recommended wall clearances of 10% of the height, width and depth of the inner chamber. All figures are typical average values for series devices. We reserve the right to alter technical specifications at any time.
BINDER Data Logger Kits
The new BINDER Data Logger Kits – Makes independent recording of temperature data in the BINDER device possible. The tailored product solution contains helpful accessories: from mounting the logger to the BINDER device to cable access assistance to the sensor mount
Access port
