Sample Holder for Environmental Chamber

摘要

[0001] Disclosed are devices for holding samples in an environmental chamher.[0002] Various samples are inserted into environmental lest chambers to undergo test procedures including, for example, salt spray fog/rain tests or other tests that mimic environmental conditions. In certain situations, it may be desirable to design devices for holding samples at specific angles/orientations to ensure consistent and reliable test data. In some cases, lap shear or bond testing is common test for materials. Samples subjected to environmental test chambers can be formed of any suitable material including, but not limited to. aluminum, steel titanium, carbon composite, graphite composite, polyester, nylon, plastic, thermoplastic, other fabric materials, stainless steel other plastic or polymer materials, other metallic materials, other composite materials, other similar materials, or any other material. If (he sample is aluminum, it can be a 1xxx, 2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx. 6xxx, 7xxx or 8xxx. aluminum sample. In some eases, the samples include a pretreatment.
