Series 651 Environmental Chambers

Series 651 Environmental Chambers enable test teams and researchers to perform a wide array of mechanical tests in conditions that closely replicate the temperatures that materials and components experience in their actual operating environments, providing confidence in the operating range of a material in the real world.

FULL PRODUCT INFORMATION

Series 651 Environmental Chambers maintain a constant temperature within a few degrees of the desired setting and with very little temperature gradient across the specimen. Heating is achieved with electrical heating elements and a motor-driven fan for diffused convection heat. Cooling is accomplished with liquid nitrogen. All chambers feature a built-in temperature controller and all-welded construction with Fiberglas insulation.
 
These chambers are engineered to integrate seamlessly with a wide variety of floor-standing and tabletop load frames from MTS, including the MTS Acumen® Electrodynamic Test System and MTS Landmark® Servohydraulic Test Systems, and MTS controllers, grips and fixtures.

Every aspect of Series 651 Environmental Chambers was designed using decades of MTS experience developing test systems for numerous industries. These environmental chambers may include:

  • Circulating fan helps to ensure small specimen temperature gradients
  • Removable “U-plug” sections allowing chambers to be moved into place after the specimen is mounted and instrumented
  • Doors that open to 180° or can be lifted away for convenient specimen access
  • Multi-panel, tempered optical quality glass windows are sealed to reduce fogging and frosting. If required for non-contacting strain measurement solutions or video monitoring, the chambers can be provided with optional defrost elements
  • Internal light to illuminate the test area is supported by 651.05 & .06. 651.10 chambers have an external light mounted to the chamber window / door
  • Mobile carts to prevent interference between chambers and the load frame

Model 651.05F-01

Works in a variety of general materials testing applications -151°C (-238°F) up to 350°C (662°F) with floor-standing models of the MTS Acumen test system.

Model 651.05F-02

Is ideal for general materials testing applications -151°C (-238°F) up to 350°C (662°F) with tabletop models of the MTS Acumen test system.

Model 651.06E-03

Handles general materials testing -129°C (-200°F) up to 315°C (600°F) with floor-standing MTS Landmark test systems.

Model 651.10E-04

Offers support for general materials testing -129°C (-200°F) up to 540°C (1000°F) with floor-standing MTS Landmark test systems.

Model 651.06E-04

Is designed to accommodate large specimens or specimens that require large grips within the chamber. Works -129°C (-200°F) up to 315°C (600°F) with floor-standing MTS Landmark test systems.
