Apparatus5.1 Thermal Cycling Apparatus:5.1.1 The thermal cycling apparatus shall consist of asuitable chamber or chambers in which the test specimens mayundergo the specified cycle. Ideally, a chamber which containsheating and refrigeration equipment and immersion
11、 capabilitiesin the same unit should be used. This chamber shall have theability to maintain continuous reproducible cycles within thespecified temperature requirements. In the event that an appa-ratus having freezing, heating, and immersion capabilities isnot available, separate equipment for freez
12、ing, heating andimmersion may be used.5.1.2 The chamber or chambers shall have the ability tomaintain a constant temperature during each of the respectivetemperature intervals as specified by the procedure.5.1.3 The samples shall be arranged to minimize contactwith the chamber surfaces or any mounti
