Steam Aging Test Chamber

Steam Aging Test Chamber is an environmental testing instrument intended to determine the specimen’s performance to resist extreme environments under high temperature and high humidity during transportation, storage and use.for artificial aging of all electronic components and circuit boards. This includes high density, discrete components, relays, transistors, capacitors, SMT, and axial components. These steam aging chamber applied for the testing of sealing property for multi-layer circuit board, IC sealing package, LCD screen, LED, semi-conductor, magnetic materials, NdFeB, rare earths and magnet iron, in which the resistance to pressure and air tightness for above mentioned products can be tested out.

The principle is simple to understand, water inside the chamber is heated and turned into steam to form a simulated test environment. Specimens are placed into the drawers of the machine for a predetermined time to complete the test.The steam aging test chamber can be equipped with 3 individually timed, ESD protected drawers with a unique closure mechanism that reduces steam escapement during drawer removal. Both systems provide complete monitoring and control of steam or water temperature and feature automatic timing of the test duration.
