Test Chambers for Altimaster by Alti-2 are specialized devices designed for the precise testing and calibration of Altimaster brand altimeters, primarily used in skydiving and other aviation-related activities.
These chambers simulate various atmospheric pressures corresponding to different altitudes, allowing users and technicians to verify the accuracy and functionality of their altimeters across a range of conditions.
Key features of these Test Chambers for Altimaster by Alti-2 typically include:
- Controlled Pressure Environment: The chambers can create both vacuum (to simulate ascent) and positive pressure (in some models, to simulate descent or testing at locations above sea level).
- Altitude Simulation: They allow for testing altimeters at altitudes ranging from below sea level to high altitudes, often up to 30,000 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL) or more.
- Multiple Altimeter Testing: Many models are designed to test multiple altimeters simultaneously, increasing efficiency for gear maintenance and checks.
- Reference Altimeter: They often include a highly accurate, FAA-certified reference altimeter (either analog or digital) to compare against the units being tested.
- Portability and Ease of Use: Designed as portable instruments, they are typically housed in rugged cases that can be easily transported and used by simply opening the lid and plugging them in.
- Power Options: They generally operate on standard electrical power (110V or 220V).
- Control Systems: Depending on the model, they may feature mechanical or electrical control valves for precise pressure adjustments.
