Stability chambers and climatic chambers are for generating different conditions such as temperature, humidity, light, pressure etc. These are useful for testing
Have you wondered how manufacturers make products that perform as per promises made for daily use? For instance, they work in extreme temperatures and air pressures as well as sudden changes in them. They perform equally well under the scorching sun of the Sahara or the icy cold of Siberia. Similarly, they function well under humid conditions of a coastal Mumbai or the dry conditions of Jaisalmer. Manufacturers use environmental chambers specially fabricated to simulate conditions of the real atmosphere to test the products they make. Special chambers are available for simulating various climatic conditions such as temperature, pressure and humidity that include:
Manufacturers use these chambers to test their products thoroughly before they send them to end customers.
The environmental chamber is a testing chamber that can simulate various climatic conditions. Many manufacturers use these chambers to test their products before they launch them in the market. These tests help the manufacturers to anticipate problems in the real world and correct any defects in the products. By using test chambers manufacturers can reduce future costs of recalls or repair of defective products.
The environmental chambers can
Besides the above, chambers can simulate almost any kind of environmental conditions suitable for testing a particular product on various parameters.
The chambers use various mechanisms to provide the functionalities required. For instance
These mechanisms can help to conduct climatic tests that include light, temperature, humidity and air pressure tests, and dynamic tests that include rotation, acceleration, and vibration and shock tests.
Chambers come in various shapes and sizes. For instance, there are chambers that occupy the size of a room designed for specific tests. There are much smaller sized units known as bench models that can rest on top of a bench used for specific types of products.
There are various types of chambers designed to help test products on various parameters. They include
Environmental chambers find uses in a variety of industries such as medical equipment, sports medicine, aerospace, food industries and defence industries. These chambers conform to standards specified by various world standards organizations.
Stability test chambers are environmental chambers that provide stable conditions to help determine the effect of such conditions on biological, electronic or industrial materials. These chambers provide a wide range of temperature and humidity settings. The pharmaceutical industry uses stability chambers to detect various changes that may occur during the lifetime of a product. Thus, manufacturers can assess the performance of the product under stable conditions and take corrective actions wherever necessary.
Stability chambers provide precise temperatures with or without humidity to determine the decay of a product over a period of time under such conditions. These tests help to determine the shelf life and storage conditions for products in the biomedical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. They also serve to determine the packaging parameters needed for safe transportation during transit from the production centre to retail markets. In pharmaceutical drug testing, stability chambers help to test products under photolysis and oxidative stress conditions.
Stability chambers come in various types depending on the requirements of the products. Some of them include
Typically, stability chambers are stainless steel chambers capable of providing stable conditions using mechanisms such as
Agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the World Health Organization (WHO) and The International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) require manufacturers to test products in stability chambers complying with guidelines issued by such agencies. Validated stability chambers ensure the integrity of test conditions to determine potency, purity and quality of products. They help to standardize tests such as microbiological tests, enantiomeric purity, and effect of light and packaging integrity.
The innumerable products that we use need to function in all sorts of climates. For instance, the mobile phone has to work in the heat and dust of Egypt or the sub-zero temperatures of northern Alaska. A product and its packaging must withstand vibrations felt while transporting to retail outlets or end customer.
Manufacturers use climate chambers to test their products to ensure they perform under all climatic conditions. Climatic chambers allow simulation of different climatic conditions of cloudiness, sunshine, precipitation, humidity, air pressure and temperature. Climatic chambers come in a variety of sizes and types to meet various requirements of different products.
There are special types of climatic chambers to cater to varied requirements. Some of the types include
There are other tests with climatic chambers possible based on the requirement of the product. The term is fairly all-encompassing and covers both climatic and environmental testing. Some of the other tests in climatic chambers include
By using climatic chambers to test products before they ship to customers, manufacturers ensure the reliability of the product enhancing the reputation of the manufacturer.
Just as humidity affects human beings it affects products as well. Since products sell in locations with varying climatic conditions, they must function well in both low and high humid conditions. In order to test products under varying conditions of humidity, manufacturers use humidity chambers to simulate varying humidity conditions and test products for their efficacy in such conditions. Manufacturers using humidity chambers can improve product durability and reliability after testing them at various levels of temperature and humidity settings.
Humidity chambers help to undertake climatic & durability tests for a variety of products that include
Besides, humidity chambers serve as testing chambers for zoological and botanical investigations.
The humidity chamber uses many methods to generate and control humidity and they include
Humidity chambers need to follow guidelines issued by standards agencies for conducting tests only on validated chambers. The validated chambers must replicate the environment ensuring the reliability of the environmental conditions without condensation.
