Product Overview
Labotemp Sand Dust Test Chamber SDC-04 provides a controlled environment to evaluate product resistance to airborne sand and dust under simulated field conditions. The chamber features a 1000 L SUS304 stainless steel workspace, ambient to +50°C temperature range, humidity <30% RH and programmable blow and test durations up to 99 h 59 min. Designed for IP5X and IP6X dust-ingress testing (IEC 60529, ISO 20653), it is suited for electronics, automotive components, lighting, military and industrial assemblies. A 7-inch programmable color LCD touchscreen with Ethernet and USB connectivity and a 16 A dust-proof specimen outlet simplify test setup and data access.

Design & Operation
The SDC-04 combines vertical airflow circulation with a vibration-assisted hopper to keep dust uniformly suspended and prevent powder buildup. A Nichrome heating element maintains circulating talc dry for consistent behavior. The integrated vacuum system, including a pressure gauge, air filter and pressure regulator, enables controlled simulation of dust ingress. The interior is corrosion-resistant SUS304 stainless steel; the exterior is A3 steel with a protective coating. Multiple safety protections (over-temperature, over-current, earth-leakage and phase-sequence protection), built-in LED observation lighting, viewing window and electromagnetic door lock enhance operator safety and test reliability.
