The polymer material thermal shock test chamber is a device specifically designed to test the performance of polymer materials under extreme temperature changes. It simulates the temperature shock that materials may encounter in practical use by quickly converting high and low temperature environments, in order to evaluate the material's heat shock resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical properties. The following is a detailed introduction to the thermal shock test chamber for polymer materials:
1. Working principle
The polymer material thermal shock test chamber simulates temperature shock in actual use by rapidly transferring samples from one extreme temperature environment to another (e.g., from high temperature to low temperature or from low temperature to high temperature). This rapid temperature change can expose potential defects in materials under extreme conditions, such as cracking, deformation, or performance degradation.
2. Main functions
one
Temperature shock:
High temperature shock: Quickly heat the sample to a high temperature (usually up to 200 or higher), and then quickly transfer it to a low-temperature environment.
Low temperature shock: Quickly cool the sample to a low temperature (usually as low as -70 or lower), and then quickly transfer it to a high temperature environment.
two
Temperature range:
High temperature range: usually from+60 to+200 (specific range depends on equipment model).
Low temperature range: usually -70 to 0 (specific range depends on equipment model).
three
Cycle times:
Programmable Loop: Users can set the number of loops and the duration of each temperature stage to simulate different usage environments.
four
Temperature change rate:
Rapid temperature change: The test chamber can achieve a rapid temperature change rate, typically ranging from 5 /minute to 15 /minute.
five
Humidity control (optional):
Humidity range: Some advanced models of test chambers can control humidity, typically ranging from 20% to 98% RH.
3. Application Fields
Polymer material thermal shock test chambers are widely used in the following fields:
Automotive industry: used to test the thermal shock resistance of polymer materials for automotive interiors and exteriors.
Electronics industry: used to test the thermal stability and mechanical performance of electronic components, circuit boards, and connectors.
Aerospace: Used to test the thermal shock performance of polymer materials used in aerospace vehicles.
Building materials: used to test the thermal impact resistance of polymer materials used in construction, such as PVC, PE, etc.
Packaging materials: used to test the heat shock resistance of food and drug packaging materials.

FAQs of thermal shock test chamber for polymer materials:
Q: How does the thermal shock test chamber transfer samples between hot and cold zones?
A: The chamber utilizes an automatic pneumatic drive system to transfer specimens between hot and cold compartments, ensuring rapid and reliable thermal cycling with a response time of 3 minutes, essential for accurate polymer material testing.
Q: What types of polymer specimens and sample sizes can the chamber accommodate?
A: The chamber can hold up to 36 polymer specimens, each measuring up to 100 mm 100 mm 10 mm, on standard racks within the 50-liter test compartment, providing ample flexibility for a range of sample configurations.
Q: When should rapid thermal cycling be used in polymer testing?
A: Rapid thermal cycling is best applied during durability validation and quality control phases to simulate extreme environmental conditions and assess the resilience of polymer materials, ensuring compliance with IEC 60068-2-14, ASTM D794, and ISO 28706 standards.
Q: Where is data from the tests stored or exported?
A: Test data is stored in the chambers built-in memory and can be easily downloaded via a USB interface, offering seamless integration into laboratory workflows for record-keeping and analysis.
Q: What makes this chamber safe and reliable for continuous operation?
A: The chamber is equipped with over-temperature protection, a door interlock system, automatic cut-off functions, and audible alarms, all designed to safeguard samples and operators during high-speed cycling and extreme conditions.
Q: How does the chamber maintain temperature and humidity accuracy?
A: A cascade refrigeration system (using CFC-free refrigerants) and SSR-controlled nichrome heaters regulate temperature from -70C to +200C with 0.3C accuracy. Humidity is programmable from 20% to 98% RH with 2% RH accuracy, all monitored and controlled via PLC automation.
