pressure chamber
Pressurized enclosed space
A pressure chamber is an enclosed space where air pressure can be controlled—raised above or lowered below normal atmospheric levels.
Hyperbaric chambers treat divers with decompression sickness or deliver oxygen therapy.
Vacuum chambers test how equipment performs in space-like conditions.
The astronauts trained in a pressure chamber to simulate high-altitude conditions.
