Practical Applications of

Humidity Testing Chamber


Tests for stability is an important step in the development. These tests are important
for the safety of the quality of the product. Humidity chamber is a testing tool for
analyzing the prolonged effect of the humidity on the components for fixing the quality
of its parameters. This tool is not only used in one industry applications but in all the
industrial applications. Humidity testing chamber is used in industries like plastic
and rubber, pharmaceuticals to assure the quality.

Humidity testing chamber help to determine the behavior of the components in


conditions of serve test and environments that involve different relative humidity. The
test can be done in a static state and can also be done in a dynamic state by taking
the humidity as constant, where the moisture is used to give rise to a failure of
components or material.

To control the humidity of the chambers without controlling the temperature of the
machines inaccurate and repetition is quite difficult. If the user wants to control the
humid and dry environment without controlling the temperature then it will affect the
humidity accuracy level. The ratio between the amount of moisture in the air with
respect to the amount of moisture it can hold is known as the relative humidity. The
more the temperature of the chamber that means the air is capable to handle more
the moisture at the given temperature. It means the relative humidity depending on
the temperature, relative humidity changes with the change in temperature. So the
stable temperature helps to make certain of obtaining the stable level of relative
humidity.
Humidity chamber is created by using saturated salt solution or an exact amount of
sulfuric acid-water mixture. After this, put this sample at a specified humidity
chamber and then equilibrium period comes, after equilibrium period you can
determine ERH. There are many environmental humidity chambers such as Dry and
Desiccator Cabinets, Fuming Chamber, Salt Spray Tester, Dust Resistance Test
Chamber, UV Weather Resistance Test Chamber, Two–Zone Thermal Shock Test
Chamber, Programmable Cyclic Corrosion Test Chamber and Water Resistance Test
Chamber, etc.

Some of these chambers are constructed of high-quality stainless steel and having
full-size acrylic door so that the contents can be visualized easily, some are designed
for the fingerprints to show up on the objects, some are used to test the corrosion
resistance of samples and many more. This is how the humidity testing
chambers are of a great use for the industries.
