Temperature and Humidity Testing
High humidity and temperature can cause blistering and loss of adhesion in protective coatings. Electronic products can suffer from corrosion, fungus attack or dielectric breakdown in humid environments.
Our humidity testing chambers are capable of spanning the humidity range of 20% to 100% RH with temperature control. Most humidity chambers can be programmed to cycle between humidity and temperature set points.
