Temperature resistance

Testing

The test samples are fully exposed to cyclical or constant loads from -40°C to +180°C in the climatic chamber and from +10°C to +95°C in climatic operation at a humidity of 10% to 98%. In combination with further tests such as tensile tests, the behaviour under moisture penetration and subsequent frost stress, heat and moisture resistance or the internal material strength can be determined.
