Introducing the Environmental Test Chamber
About the Environmental Test Chamber (ETC)
The ETC is an add-on unit for the DHR/AR-G2/AR 2000ex that enables it to characterize solid samples in
torsion. To work on composites/polymers in torsion requires a temperature-controlled chamber for envi-
ronmental control of the sample, plus specially designed sample clamps. The ETC can also be used for
conventional rheology measurements with the appropriate geometries.
