Climate chambers with controlled dry-air purge for

meeting automotive standards

BINDER GmbH is expanding its product range of environmental

simulation chambers for carrying out material load tests. All the
MKF and MKFT-series dynamic climate chambers are now
available with the optional controlled dry-air purge function for
meeting the standards required by the automotive industry.

Tuttlingen, Germany – March 2016: Standards and standardized testing

specifications are in place in the modern automotive industry to guarantee the
safety and quality of the entire production process. Automobile components
are subjected to demanding load testing to determine the resistance and
carrying capacity of materials and molded parts in terms of weather factors,
temperature, and temperature shifts. BINDER GmbH, the world's largest
specialist in simulation chambers for scientific and industrial laboratories, has
now expanded its product portfolio of environmental simulation chambers for
carrying out material load tests. All the MKF and MKFT-series climate
chambers are now available with the optional controlled dry-air purge function
for meeting the standards required by the automotive industry. Even difficult
test scenarios, such as the PV 2005 and PV 1200 VW standards for cyclical
climate change tests, can be carried out with ease. These accelerated short-
term tests with time-lapse effect assess the behavior of test parts in terms of
deformation, debonding, and cracking in changes in temperature and
humidity. The PR 308.2 testing standard required by BMW for the climatic
testing of adhesive bonds to equipment parts can also be met with ease. The
expanded climate range enables climate values such as 10°C and 5 percent
RH or 0°C and 10 percent RH. This is possible because dew points of as low
as -28°C can be achieved. The specified humidity values are achieved quickly
and maintained precisely. This allows possible weaknesses to be detected at
any early stage with the result that costly failures or even image-damaging
product recalls can be avoided. In addition, the tests can be reproduced at any
time.
Alongside environmental simulation chambers with dry-air purge, BINDER
offers other specialized units for dynamic climate profiles in various
temperature ranges. Units without humidification systems are also available.
Additionally, units in all product lines can be modified by BINDER to suit any
special customer requirements.
