π‘οΈ Conditioning Chamber / Humidity Chamber β Overview
A Conditioning Chamber, also known as a Humidity Chamber, is a controlled environment testing chamber used to simulate and maintain specific temperature and humidity conditions. It is essential for testing how materials and products behave under various environmental stresses.
π§ͺ Primary Uses of Conditioning Chamber
Pre-conditioning of samples before testing (as per standards)
Testing moisture resistance, dimensional stability, aging, and performance under humidity
Simulating real-world environmental conditions for product development and quality control
π¬ Industries That Use Humidity Chambers
Textile & Garment
Paper & Packaging
Rubber & Plastic
Leather & Footwear
Paint & Coating
Electronics & Automotive
Pharmaceuticals
π International Standards for Conditioning Chambers
Standard Description
ASTM D1776 Standard Practice for Conditioning Textiles for Testing
ASTM D685 Conditioning of paper and paperboard for testing
