PGC
is dedicated manufacturing the highest quality climate controlled
systems for scientists and engineers. PGC's primary focus is
precise humidity control.
Parameter Generation & Control
(PGC) was founded in 1977 to provide equipment
for research, testing, or quality/process applications
requiring environmental simulation and control within extremely
narrow tolerances. PGC is committed to continuing development
of quality environmental simulation and control products.
Achieving and maintaining very precise relative humidity
(RH) -AND- temperature control distinguishes PGC from its
competition.
PGC produces three categories of environmentally controlled
equipment.
1) Reach-in Chambers provide
dependable performance wherever there is a requirement for very
stable temperature and humidity. The RH and temperature are controlled
to within +0.5% RH and +0.1°C respectively.
2) Conditioning Systems are
manufactured and configured for operation with modular walk-in rooms,
existing building spaces, or manufacturing processes.
3) Walk-in Rooms are modular-paneled
rooms used in combination with PGC’s conditioning systems.
Relative humidity constancies of +0.5% and temperature constancies
of +0.1°C can be obtained in rooms as large as 30,000 cubic
feet.
All our products are planned, designed, and manufactured by PGC,
resulting in a complete RH/temperature solution.
PGC’s primary focus is precise humidity control.
The equipment manufactured by PGC provides environmental simulation
and control within very narrow tolerances, especially with regard
to relative humidity (RH). PGC’s equipment maintains a remarkable
control constancy of +0.5% RH.

A frequent reaction to a control specification of +0.5 % RH is that
this figure far exceeds some of the standard requirements such as
+5.0% RH.
In actuality, control constancy is just one of three parameters
that should be considered when attempting to determine actual chamber
conditions; the other two factors being chamber uniformity and sensor
accuracy.
Using this approach, the following table compares PGC’s specifications
with those of a typical manufacturer of a competitive unit.
It is important to consider all three variables when maintaining
a certain humidity or temperature specification.
