Measurement
By using the vapour resistance test chamber, you can test the vapour resistance of samples
based on the AMK-MB-005 standard.
To do so, you have to perform three 30-minute tests for each probe and let it rest for 30 minutes
between the individual tests.
To perform a test, follow these steps:
1.
Wait for the temperature display to reach the test temperature (50 … 55 °C). The
temperature display now turns green.
2.
Press the “Start” button. The 30-minute timer starts and can be seen in the timer
display. Press the
“Stop” button to stop the timer. Press the “Reset” button to cancel
it.
3.
Wait for the timer to run out. Onc
e the timer hits “0”, the device emits an audible
signal and the timer display starts to flash.
Open the door and take out the fastening rail with the sample. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
When performing a test, mind the following notes:
ATTENTION:
Do not touch the heating element or put your hand into the water
when the heating element is turned on. During operation, do not
touch the tank. This can cause burns.
ATTENTION:
Hot vapour leaks when opening the door.
ATTENTION:
Do not open the door during the test (e. g. to look inside) if the
glass is fogged up. This causes a drastic drop in temperature.
Wait for the timer to run out before opening the door.
