What Influence Do the Uniformity and Fluctuation of T&H in a Temperature and Humidity Test Chamber Have on the Test?

In environmental reliability testing, temperature and humidity test chambers are widely used to simulate climate conditions such as high temperature, low temperature, high humidity and dryness, and to verify the performance changes of electronic, electrical, material, automotive parts and other products under extreme climate conditions.

 

To ensure the scientificity and repeatability of the test, the uniformity and fluctuation of temperature and humidity inside the  temperature and humidity test chamber  are of vital importance.

 

I. What Are Temperature and Humidity Uniformity and Fluctuation?

Temperature/humidity uniformity refers to the maximum difference in temperature and humidity between different positions under the stable operation of the test chamber. That is to say, at the same point in time, whether the environmental conditions among different detection points inside the chamber are consistent.

  • For example: If the set temperature is 85℃, the measured lowest point is 83℃ and the highest point is 87℃, then the temperature uniformity is ±2℃.

 

Temperature/humidity fluctuation refers to the range of temperature and humidity fluctuations at the same point within a certain period of time during the stable operation stage of the test chamber. It reflects the ability of environmental stability.

  • For example: During continuous operation for 30 minutes, the temperature at a certain point fluctuated from 84.8℃ to 85.3℃, with a fluctuation of ±0.5℃.

 

II. The Influence of Uniformity and Fluctuation on Testing

A. The consistency and repeatability of the test results

If the uniformity of temperature and humidity is poor, it indicates that the environmental conditions in which different test samples are located are significantly different, which may easily lead to inconsistent performance evaluations of the products. This is particularly evident for batch testing. Samples from the same batch may perform differently at different aging rates, affecting the judgment.

 

B. Affect the simulation of the real lifespan of the product

Some components (such as electrolytic capacitors and photoelectric sensors) are extremely sensitive to temperature and humidity. If the temperature or humidity fluctuates greatly, it may cause abnormal thermal expansion/moisture absorption behavior of the material, misleading the assessment of aging trends.

 

C. The standard test requirements cannot be met

International/national standards such as IEC 60068-2-78 and GB/T 2423.3 all put forward clear requirements for the uniformity and volatility of temperature and humidity.

 

D. Affect the authenticity of the simulation of key working conditions

When conducting high-temperature and high-humidity coupling tests (such as 85℃/85%RH), any instability in the environment may lead to premature failure of internal components or coatings, making it impossible to accurately assess the actual service life or failure mode.

Uniformity reflects spatial consistency, while volatility represents temporal stability. If the two do not meet the standards, even the most perfect testing process will lose its reference value.

The LIB thermal humidity chamber, with its precise control system, balanced airflow structure and intelligent design, is widely used in universities, research institutes, military laboratories and various manufacturing enterprises. Whether you are conducting component aging tests, accelerating life verification of automotive parts, or evaluating the weather resistance of materials, LIB can provide you with high-precision and high-stability temperature and humidity test chamber solutions.
