Environmental Control

Environmental Control

Many applications including R&D, testing, calibration, assembly and storage require the precise measurement and/or control of relative temperature. Environmental chambers are devices that are used to simulate a particular environment and are ideal for performing quality control tests along with other types of experiments. These requirements are found in many diverse industries such as electrostatics, electronics, petrochemical, packaging, pharmaceutical, plastics, biomedical, and food & beverage.

Environmental chambers are also commonly known as test chambers. The testing is performed on products to make sure that they are both safe and reliable before being shipped out to be used with other items or are put on the market. Environmental chambers come in various sizes. A chamber could be the size of a small aquarium or it could be the size of a building and anywhere in between, causing large variations in temperature from one point in the chamber to another.

MEASURpoint is the ideal solution when precise temperature readings are necessary to control the conditions within the environmental chamber. Up to 48 sensors per MEASURpoint instrument can be placed within the chamber and temperature readings an be taken simultaneously. These readings are fully isolated and because each channel has it's own A/D and CJC, the readings are ultra-accurate. For remote applications, the Ethernet version is the perfect solution.

Application Notes
-Advances in Ultra-Accurate Temperature Measurement Design
Temperature is the world's most widely measured property. Most temperature measurement instruments deployed today rely on technology architectures developed when silicon-based devices were far more costly and DOS ran computers. New approaches to analog design have changed this paradigm. This paper describes how the latest techniques in analog technology can be applied to the development of ultra-accurate temperature measurement instruments.
-AMS2750D Temperature Uniformity Surveys using TEMPpoint
Industrial process furnaces and ovens require uniform temperature and heating; This is critical to repeatable product performance from batch to batch. These furnaces require periodic inspection for temperature uniformity. Using TEMPpoint to monitor temperatures over time according to AMS2750D specifications fits this application perfectly.
-Temperature Uniformity Monitoring: Biotech
A leading biotechnology company needed to evaluate freeze-dryers from a number of suppliers to select the best performing product for use in their processes to develop/monitor biological therapies. Temperature uniformity was considered the key indicator of product performance.
-Temperature Uniformity Monitoring: Composite Curing Oven
A leading supplier of advanced composite materials was developing a new composite material and needed to get two, large curing ovens up and running to get their product to market quickly. Temperature uniformity was considered the key measurement requirement when evaluating the curing process.
