Hirayama PC-R9D Dual HAST Chamber — Next-Generation Two-Vessel Configuration
The Hirayama PC-R9D dual HAST chamber is the dual-chamber configuration of the latest-generation PC-R9 series, distributed in North America by Hastest Solutions. The PC-R9D houses two independent Highly Accelerated Stress Test chambers in a single floor footprint while adding USB data recording, remote operation software, automatic chamber cleaning mode, CE Marking, China SELO approval, and Wi-Fi/LAN connectivity over the previous PC-R8D generation.
Available in two test capacities: PC-304R9D (34.5 L per chamber) for compact qualification labs, and PC-422R9D (84.4 L per chamber) for high-throughput semiconductor production qualification. Each chamber runs fully independent test conditions and programs.

What’s New in PC-R9D vs PC-R8D
- USB data recording — temperature, humidity, and pressure logs export directly to USB without an external recorder
- Remote operation software — full chamber control from any networked PC
- Automatic cleaning mode — programmed self-cleaning cycle between test runs
- CE Marking, S Mark, China SELO approval — global compliance out of the box
- Wi-Fi / LAN connectivity — modern network integration
- 4 time signal terminals standard on each chamber (option-only on R8D)
- SCR drive temperature control upgraded from SSD drive
- EU Model available — products compliant with European Standards (ENs)
Same Performance, Smarter Operation
Chamber dimensions, effective test capacity, temperature/humidity/pressure ranges, and IEC 60068-2-66 / JIS C 60068-2-66 compliance are identical between PC-R8D and PC-R9D — the difference is in connectivity, automation, and global certification. For comparison see the PC-R8D or single-vessel PC-R9 pages.
