Temperature ramp rates vary from chamber to chamber, and are dependent on the thermal mass of the unit under test and on the given temperature. Typical ramp rates range from 1°C/min for walk-in chambers and up to 5°C/min for the smaller chambers.

In addition to these permanent chambers, prefabricated enclosures are available to condition test items within the range of -70°C to +170°C through the use of stand-alone pre-conditioners and liquid nitrogen with the capability to achieve ramp rates of up to 3°C/min.
