Cryostat chambers are specialized low-temperature chambers that can reach temperatures as low as -150°C or even lower. They are commonly used in plastic testing laboratories to study the behavior of plastic materials at extremely low temperatures. Some common applications of cryostat chambers in plastic testing laboratories include:

Low-temperature impact testing:

Cryostat chambers are used to study the impact resistance of plastic materials at low temperatures. The impact strength of a plastic material can be greatly affected by low temperatures, so cryostat chambers can be used to simulate low-temperature conditions and measure the material's impact strength.

Low-temperature tensile testing:

Similar to impact testing, cryostat chambers can also be used to study the tensile strength of plastic materials at low temperatures. Tensile testing at low temperatures can help researchers determine the effect of low temperatures on a material's strength and deformation properties.

Material behavior studies:

Cryostat chambers can also be used to study the behavior of plastic materials at low temperatures. Researchers can study the microstructure of materials as well as their thermal and mechanical properties at low temperatures.

Thermal cycling:

Cryostat chambers can be used to perform thermal cycling experiments, where a sample is repeatedly subjected to low-temperature conditions, then brought back to room temperature. This can help researchers study the effects of temperature cycling on the mechanical and physical properties of a plastic material.

Overall, cryostat chambers are essential tools in plastic testing laboratories for studying the behavior of plastic materials at extremely low temperatures.
