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.
