The model M170 is available in 3 basic configurations 1 cryogenic and 2 mechanically cooled designs.  All 3 designs come standard with a castered stand.  The M170 is available as a custom design as a bench top chamber.

The M170 is a high performance Cryogenic chamber with very high temperature ramp rates.

The M170M and M170MM are mechanically cooled chambers that are available with a number of compressor options depending on your cooling rate requirements.

Single Zone Shock Chamber

The M170 chamber can be configured as a high performance single zone shock chamber that meet the requirements of MIL SPEC 202, Method 107 testing, and is able to achieve -170°C.  Configured with the optional Shock package, the chamber features a top mounted C4 controller and maintains a very compact footprint, and is supplied with hinged lift off door.  Click here to learn more

Model C controller is standard with the M170  
Model C4 programmable controller is standard
on M170S and optional on the M170 & M170M, & M10MM

§  Cooling Rate

Cryogenic rates are highly dependent upon coolant type
(L–N2 or L–C02), pressure, and quality.  For more information download or request a copy of our brochure on Cryogenic Cooling

Mechanical refrigeration (not available on all chambers) rates are dependant on refrigeration system chosen and other factors.
Note: Cryogenic boost can be added to mechanically refrigerated systems to speed transition temperatures

    Heating Rate

Temperatures shown are for typical heaters. 
Faster and slower rates available.
