PCT Aging Test Chamber

PCT Aging Test Chamber (also known as PCT High-Pressure Accelerated Aging Test Chamber or HAST Testing Machine) is a testing device used to simulate high-temperature, high-humidity, and high-pressure environments to evaluate the storage, transportation, and usage performance of products under such extreme climatic conditions. The following is a detailed introduction to this equipment:

I. Equipment Purpose

The PCT High-Temperature High-Humidity Steamer is primarily used for performance testing of electrical, electronic products, components, parts, metal materials, and other materials. Specific applications include:

Test Objects: IC semiconductors, magnetic materials, polymer materials, metal materials, EVA materials, connectors, photovoltaic modules, and their materials.

Test Environment: Simulates high-temperature, high-humidity, and high-pressure climatic conditions.

Test Purpose: Determines whether the physical and other related properties of products meet requirements through inspection, aiding in product design, improvement, verification, and factory inspection.

II. Equipment Features

Precise Control:

Uses a microcomputer-based saturated steam temperature + time + pressure display independent controller with high resolution and stable control.

Temperature control accuracy up to ±0.5°C, humidity at 100% RH saturated steam.

Wide pressure range to meet various testing needs.

High-Quality Materials:

Inner chamber material typically uses SUS316# stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature durability.

Outer chamber material can be selected by customers, such as high-grade steel plate with baked paint or stainless steel, ensuring aesthetics and durability.

Safety Design:

Equipped with multiple safety protection measures, including temperature sensor detection protection, high-temperature protection, high-pressure protection, chamber door pressure limitation, and water shortage alarm with power cutoff.

Uses a reverse pressure door lock mechanism, preventing the chamber door from opening when internal pressure exists, ensuring operational safety.

Energy Efficiency:

Features a large-capacity water tank and fully automatic water replenishment system, extending test duration without interruption.

High-efficiency vacuum pump ensures pure saturated steam conditions inside the chamber, improving testing efficiency.

User-Friendly Operation:

Integrated circuit design for simple operation and easy maintenance.

Optional touchscreen controller with USB curve data download and communication functions, tailored to customer needs.
