Environmental Test Chamber

IEC 60068 Steam Aging Test Chamber

The IEC 60068 steam aging test chamber is used to assess oxidation, corrosion and performance changes after steam exposure. Typical samples include metal and electroplated parts, plastics, coatings and electronic components.

Steam temperature is adjustable from room temperature +5°C to 98°C, and the chamber can simulate humidity of at least 95% RH. The unit has three sample drawers, PID temperature control and automatic water replenishment. It can also connect directly to a tap-water supply.

Standards:

  • IEC 60068-2-66 Environmental Testing Standards
  • GB/T 2423 Environmental Testing for Electric & Electronic Products
  • MIL-STD-810 Military Testing Standards
  • JIS C 0028 Japanese Industrial Standards

Applications

Typical samples for steam aging tests include:

  • Metal and electroplated parts: fasteners, hardware, fittings and surface-treated components.
  • Plastics and coatings: plastic components, electroplated plastics and coating samples.
  • Electronic components: connectors, terminals and electronic hardware.
  • Automotive and industrial components: small vehicle parts, plumbing fittings and related components that fit the sample drawers.

The chamber is used in product development, quality control and comparative aging tests. After exposure, samples are inspected or tested against the criteria in the test plan.

Features

  • SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction
    Both the inner chamber and outer housing are made from SUS304 stainless steel. A titanium heating tube supplies heat, while PU and fiberglass wool insulation reduces heat loss.
  • PID Temperature Control with PT100 Sensor
    A PT100 sensor, PID controller and SSR output regulate the steam temperature. The digital display shows the current steam temperature.
  • Three Sample Drawers
    The chamber has three drawers for loading and removing small samples. Each measures 85 × 300 × 50 mm and has a bakelite handle.
  • Automatic Water Replenishment
    The chamber can be filled manually or connected to a tap-water supply for automatic replenishment.
  • Automatic Power Failure Recovery
    The chamber automatically resumes operation when power is restored after an interruption.
  • Safety Protection and Status Indicators
    The chamber includes over-temperature, electrical leakage and water shortage protection. Indicator lights show whether the unit is running or a fault has occurred.
