• To avoid unwanted pre-loading of specimens due to grip closure or thermal expansion during the soak period, use the “Specimen Protect” feature available with some models of Instron test system. Optimising Your Testing • For optimum window clarity during low temperature testing always switch on the window heaters (if fitted) for 40 minutes prior to running your tests. - Page 60 Appendix: Hints and Tips for Using Chambers • The air circulation from the centrifugal fan within the inner chamber and from the impeller near the motor, is shown in Figure 10. The internal air is directed in a figure of eight from the heaters behind the baffle over the load train pull rods of the testing machine, across the specimen and back to the internal impeller via the alarm and control thermocouples.
