Test chambers are specially constructed boxes or cabinets used to conduct scientific experiments or test the effects of environmental conditions on products or biological specimens. The controlled environment of a test chamber allows scientists to accurately replicate conditions while keeping a close eye on the specimen. Charles F. Conrad innovated the first environmental test chamber in 1951, after working as a refrigerator repairman, by modifying a residential freezer to allow for temperatures as low as -125℉. General Motors Heat Treat Lab decided to purchase it, and quickly asked Conrad to produce two more. Ever since, hundreds of manufacturers have invented test chambers that simulate more than just cold, from extreme heat, humidity or replicating various altitudes. One of the main advantages of using test chambers is that they allow for very precise control of the environment. This means that Blacksburg, VA researchers can be sure that the results of their experiments are not affected by factors that they are not testing for.
