Reach-In PHCI Curing Chambers

Precision-Controlled Chambers for Cement, Concrete, and Mortar Curing

The PHCI Reach-In Curing Chambers by Aralab are specifically engineered for the temperature and humidity-controlled curing of cement, concrete, and mortar specimens. Built for reliability and uniformity, these chambers provide stable curing environments that meet ASTM C192/C192M-14 and IEC 679 standards.

Available in 600-liter (S600) and 1200-liter (D1200) formats, the chambers offer durable stainless-steel interiors, reinforced shelves, and precise climatic control to maintain high humidity—up to 98 % RH—and consistent temperature across all test levels.
