Rain Test chamber

Spirale vision

This one-piece chamber meets the requirements of the MIL-STD-810F standard (method 506.4) which defines laboratory tests intended to certify materials of military use, as well as civilian, against environmental damages due to water.

Within the scope of watertightness tests described in the standard, the chamber reproduces conditions of rain with wind up to 18m/s according to the Procedure I, as well as conditions of rain and calm air according to the Procedure III.

Procedure I : Rain and blowing rain

  • Wind mode : ventilation loop associated with 18m/s wind velocity setpoint within the scope of the standard, and up to 30m/s
  • Blowed Rain mode, associated with the Wind mode : water injected in the air flow from the swivelling and adjustable blades

Procedure III : Drip

Use of a rain tank on the ceiling of the cabinet, equipped with 900 nozzles calibrated to generate standard water droplets

  • Heavy Rain mode : high rainfall rate (17mm/min)
  • Light Rain mode : low rainfall rate (8mm/min)

Electric spinning plate
