Test chambers are enclosed spaces used to how extreme conditions affect products or biological specimens. The precise environmental settings of a test chamber allows scientists to accurately replicate conditions while being able to get exact readings. Charles F. Conrad innovated the first environmental test chamber in 1951, after working as a refrigerator repairman, by modifying a residential freezer to reach temperatures of -125℉. He sold it to General Motors Heat Treat Lab, who quickly asked Conrad to produce another two. Since then, test chambers have been designed and used to simulate a wide range of conditions, from extreme cold and heat, humidity or dust-filled environments. One of the main advantages of using test chambers is that they allow for very precise control of numerous different environmental factors. This means that Charleston, SC researchers can be confident that the results of their experiments are not affected by factors that they are not testing for.
