Altitude Chambers

Overview

T3 leads the way in altitude testing equipment, replicating varying air pressures encountered at different altitudes. Aircraft and components are subjected to extreme pressure and climatic conditions during flight, making safety testing crucial. T3’s Altitude Chambers simulate controlled environments with precise pressure, temperature, and humidity conditions, reaching altitudes of up to 100,000 feet (10 mbar) and offering optional capabilities up to 150,000 feet (1 mbar).

Built for reliability, these chambers feature a semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor, high-efficiency evaporator, water-cooled condenser, and on-demand cooling. Customization options ensure the chambers meet specific testing requirements. T3’s Altitude Chambers are essential for testing aerospace components, ensuring they meet the rigorous demands of aviation and supporting safety-critical applications.
