Temperature chambers, also referred to as thermal chambers, are an important component in quality assurance in many industries and play a crucial role in the assessment of quality, reliability and performance of products and materials under temperature conditions. Many standards require tests under temperature. The innovative temperature chambers from ZwickRoell guarantee a flexible testing system, specifically tailored to customer requirements, for materials and component testing in a load range up to 250 kN and a wide temperature range of -80 °C to +360 °C.
Our temperature chamber for temperatures ranging from -50 °C to +180 °C for small loads up to 2.5 kN provides a cost-effective option with a small footprint.

Applications of the -80 °C to +360 °C temperature chamber
All system components used with the temperature chambers made by ZwickRoell are seamlessly compliant with each other. With the use of our testXpert testing software, operation of all system functions is ergonomic and intuitive. All data can be traceably documented with the test series. The temperature chamber is optimally integrated in the world of ZwickRoell extensometers. Reliable test results are guaranteed for both optical and sensor arm measurements. Our modular design allows optimum adaptation of the chamber to suit your needs. The large volume capacity of the chamber allows additional test area space for components testing.
Our temperature chambers up to +360 °C for the AllroundLine materials testing machine with a load range up to 250 kN are universal chambers that can be used for the following applications:
Applications for standard and engineering plastics
This thermal chamber, including all system components, covers the full temperature range for all standard and engineering plastics. Reliable test results, e.g. to ISO 527-1 and ASTM D638 are therefore guaranteed .
- For example, you can measure plastics with pronounced yield strength with high precision using the videoXtens or the makroXtens and you can switch the crosshead travel measurement completely automatically without opening and closing the door.
- If you need large measurement travel distances for plastics without pronounced yield point, an optical and mechanical version with lightXtens and longstroke extensometer is also available.
Applications for elastomers and rubber
The thermal chamber, including all system components, also covers the full temperature range for rubber and elastomers.
- Large measurement travel distances for elastomers and rubber are handled with the lightXtens or the longstroke extensometer, giving you the flexibility of using optical or sensor arm measurements.
- Standard compliant testing and temperature accuracy are ensured, for example, in accordance with ISO 23529, ISO 37 and ASTM D412.
Applications for composites
The temperature chamber, including all system components, covers the temperature range for most types of composites.
- For composites with PEEK matrix for example, the temperature chamber up to 360 °C is suitable with corresponding specimen grips and tools.
- We offer a comprehensive test tool portfolio for composites testing, which can be flexibly used with the temperature chamber.
Temperature chamber -50 °C to +180 °C up to 2.5 kN
One of our temperature chambers was specially designed for use with a zwickiLine materials testing machine to provide a cost-efficient option for small loads up to 2.5 kN and with a small footprint. You can use it to perform tensile, compression and flexure tests at specified temperatures within a range of -50 °C to +180 °C.
- Cost-efficient temperature chamber with industrial standard Eurotherm controller
- Equipped with RS 232 interface for operation with PC as standard
- Ergonomic, CE-compliant design for simple, safe, and reliable operation
- Flexible use of different clip-on extensometers
- Easy removal of the temperature chamber
