The bench is designed to perform temperature tests of pipes dedicated to the most varied applications. The climatic test chamber allows to vary the environmental conditions: a dedicated powering and controlling system deals with the sample heating. The acquisition of the temperature of the samples during the tests is carried out using an advanced thermographic scanning system.
