Aerospace and Mil-Std Defense Testing

A global aerospace and defense manufacturer required a custom solution to test 400-lb metal alloy aircraft components at temperatures as low as −130°F (−90°C). The chamber was engineered to support heavy-load testing, rapid temperature recovery, flexible interior configurations, and durable construction for high-cycle production environments—ensuring reliable performance in extreme aerospace conditions.
