Ultra-low conditioning to −196°C is supported on the NG-ISCC-196 model, which uses liquid nitrogen cooling for specimen conditioning prior to pendulum impact testing.

The NG-ISCC Series is offered in multiple temperature configurations, so the minimum achievable temperature depends on the model selected:

  • NG-ISCC-60 and NG-ISCC-80 use compressor-based refrigeration for low-temperature conditioning.
  • NG-ISCC-100 and NG-ISCC-196 use liquid nitrogen cooling for lower setpoints, with NG-ISCC-196 covering −196°C to +30°C.

For transition-curve work and pre-test conditioning to ASTM E23 or ISO 148, the key is repeatable temperature control and uniform conditioning before transfer to the impact frame. This system uses a self-adjusting temperature controller with a platinum–iridium sensor, with temperature control accuracy specified at ≤ ±0.5°C and 0.01°C resolution.

If you want to confirm the right configuration for your conditioning temperatures and LN2 setup, review the chamber details and then learn more or request a quote.
