Company Description

Unitemp have been involved in the development of environmental control technology for over 15 years, and we draw upon this experience to supply, service and maintain all types of environmental test equipment. Our test chambers are used in R&D departments worldwide to analyse the integral properties of any given product, component, part or assembly. They are able to carry out temperature, humidity and vibration testing, accelerated stress screening and accelerated life testing, or any combination of these. A properly tested and approved product gives both the manufacturer and the customer assurance of quality, reliability and performance.

As well as a comprehensive range of standard units, Unitemp are able to design and build bespoke chambers in line with the application requirements of our customers, allowing greater flexibility within the existing premises and potentially reducing costs. We have an established reputation within the industry for our unrivalled expertise in the design and development of modular units.

Unitemp are also able to support almost any existing installation with planned maintenance schedules, emergency repairs and on-site refurbishment. Whether it’s a bench top cabinet or a drive-in room, we’re able to integrate modern electronics and control technology to improve overall performance. We also now provide environmental testing services through our U-Test Environmental Self Test Centre, which is fully equipped with environmental chambers, instrumentation and test and measurement equipment. This provides a cost-effective alternative to capital investment for manufacturers who require testing facilities on a short term or one-off basis.

A major component of our success has been our workforce. We employ an expert team of engineers with considerable experience in the environmental equipment industry, and who are able to design, build, install and maintain test chambers to a very high standard. You can find more information on our products and services below, but you can only find the full range by visiting the Unitemp website. For expert advice and guidance on the most suitable test chamber for your application, give us a call on 01628 850611.



Walk-In Type Temperature & Humidity Chambers

These are available in a wide range of chamber sizes and air-conditioning capacities according to your testing needs. The size of the air-conditioning unit is determined by the chamber volume and the specimen heat load. ESPEC Walk-In temperature chambers are fitted with an electronic expansion valve which adjusts the flow of the refrigerant, as well as an expanded PID system which automatically controls the output of both the heater and the refrigerator. This offers energy savings of up to 68% during temperature testing, and up to 50% during temperature and humidity testing.

ESPEC AR Series

Unitemp is an approved supplier of ESPEC AR Series environmental stress chambers. These first class designs are able to withstand heat loads generated by the specimen, improve temperature change rates, and they also provide expanded ranges for temperature and humidity - giving you greater testing capability. Each chamber in the AR Series is equipped with a specimen temperature control function in order to meet the stringent testing demands typically required for automotive components and mobile products. AR Series chambers deliver highly uniform temperatures to minimise variations in test results over multiple specimens.

ESPEC Products

Unitemp supplies only the very best test equipment in order to guarantee the highest possible accuracy and reliability. As a distributor of ESPEC environmental test chambers, we’re able to offer a complete range of exceptionally reliable and robust products that conform to various international standards, including the world-renowned Highly Accelerated Stress Test chamber, the Platinum series of test chambers, and the full range of ESPEC Thermal Shock cabinets.

With over 140 different ESPEC products in various sizes and with additional features to choose from, our customers are always able to find the right testing solution for their application.



Free Access Temperature and Humidity Chambers

This is a brand new model based on the original Platinous K chamber which can now be equipped with cables ports on both sides of the chamber to enable easy access and wiring of the test specimen.

The ESPEC Free Access chamber has a large 306L capacity and is equipped with a ceiling-mounted refrigerator in order to save space. If required, a temperature control system can be added for monitoring and controlling the temperature of the specimen.

U-Test Centre

The U-Test Centre is an open-access testing facility fully equipped with environmental chambers and instrumentation that can be used for as long or as short a period of time as necessary. As well as a comprehensive suite of test and measurement instrumentation, the U-Test Centre offers integrated office facilities and conference areas which afford plenty of space for analysis.

Specialist advice from our experts is always available if required. If you would like to take advantage of this unique resource, please get in touch with the Unitemp team on 01628 850611.



Bench Top Temperature and Humidity Chambe

Delivering an incredibly wide operation range in a compact design, ESPEC Bench Top Temperature and Humidity Chambers are ideal for laboratories with limited installation space. These market-leading designs provide temperature and humidity testing conditions ranging from -60°C to 150°C (humidity 30-95% rh), and are available in 20 or 60L variations.

As well as a constant temperature setting, ESPEC Bench Top units allow 9 steps per pattern program operation, providing heat up and pull down gradients to meet cyclic testing conditions. A unique refrigeration control system enables you to reduce power consumption by up to 55% compared to the previous ESPEC Bench Top model.



Unitemp Products

Unitemp designs and manufactures its own range of test systems that are able to simulate all environmental conditions to ensure products are capable of performing under extremes that they may be subjected to in use. This includes temperature, vibration, humidity, accelerated stress and accelerated life testing chambers.

As well as a range of standard products, our design staff and engineers are able to develop and build customised solutions to suit the individual testing requirements of each client. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss your needs with our experts.



Industrial Ovens Temperature Chamber Series

ESPEC’s range of industrial oven temperature chambers can be used for a wide range of applications, including high temperature testing and heat treatment or drying on production lines. These are available as horizontal or vertical models in various capacities, and all of them feature triple safety mechanisms for overheating protection.
