What is a Humidity Chamber?

A humidity chamber is a mechanism that examines how products react when exposed to variations in humidity. This type of environmental testing is used by manufacturers to test the various parameters of their products in the harshest of conditions.

The purpose of humidity chambers is to test the influence of varying environments on products to determine the length of their usefulness and at what point they will fail. The collected data assists engineers in adjusting their designs and selecting more resilient materials.

The different varieties of humidity chambers allow testing to be completed in a static or dynamic state depending on the required data and the type of product. Humidity chambers are used as extended testing chambers to determine a specimen’s reaction to elevated moisture conditions when exposed for weeks or months.
