Even if a material or component performs well under "normal" conditions, performance under extreme conditions is also critical. DTL offers more than 100 chambers that can accelerate the effects of weathering and environmental conditions.

Chamber sizes range from 4 cubic feet to 9,555 cubic feet and testing temperatures range from -100°C to +1100°C. We offer three automated cyclic corrosion testing chambers, including one drive-in, perfect for exposing specimens to a series of different environments in repetitive cycles.
