MIL-STD-810H Rain (Method 506.6) Test Chamber.

Key Features

• AISI 304 stainless steel enclosure (1.5 mm) — corrosion-resistant and built for long service life.
• Procedure I, II and III to MIL-STD-810G/H Method 506.6 — run individually, in pairs (I+II, I+III, II+III) or all three in one programme.
• Real-time sensor monitoring of pressure, temperature and flow (m³/h) through calibratable analog inputs.
• Intuitive operation via an industrial PLC and a touchscreen HMI.
• Mobile and compact: heavy-duty swivel casters and a minimal footprint; the test item is placed inside the chamber.
• Data logging and history: date/time, flow, pressure and temperature are recorded on the HMI.

Standard reference

MIL-STD-810H Method 506.6 defines three procedures: Procedure I — Rain and Blowing Rain (combined rainfall with wind to drive water against the test item), Procedure II — Exaggerated rain (higher rainfall rate to shorten test time where blowing-rain facilities are not available), and Procedure III — Drip (condensation or falling water from upper surfaces). The applicable procedure, rainfall rate, wind velocity and exposure time are selected from the equipment’s life-cycle environmental profile.

This chamber can be configured to run the Method 506.6 procedures relevant to your specimen, and can be combined with IEC 60529 IPX water-ingress stages where the test plan requires both military and IP ratings.
