THE RT1000 RAIN TEST CHAMBER

During their life industrial products are exposed to several atmospherical agents in addition to the well known temperature, humidity and corrosion.

Very high degradation phenomena are caused by sand, dust, rain and sun light. In order to comply with market needs ACS design and produce a large number of equipment suitable for carrying out tests which comply with all the main international standards.

Our equipment for sand and dust tests are able to reproduce all the conditions included in the standards requiring continuos ventilation (DIN 40046, MIL-STD 331 AND MIL-STD 810 C), dust drop tests (DIN 40052) and tests with irregular whiff of compressed air (SAE J 575).

ACS equipment for sun light tests are according to MIL-STD 810 D while our chambers for rain tests are manufactured according to DIN specifications.

ACS equipment can be tailored to suit specific customer requirements.
