Acceleration (Centrifuge) Testing
-
Environment Associates provides centrifuge equipment for acceleration testing. Our acceleration testing equipment measures 3 ft. (0.91 m) and a 6 ft. (1.82 m) lengths that provides constant accelerations of 50 Gs and can handle payloads of 20 lbs. to 50 lbs. The Acceleration Testing is also called G-Force Testing

Connector Testing
-
If your product uses a connector or terminal, it can be susceptible to a unique set of failures that warrant specific connector testing conditions to determine the robustness of your design.

Solar Radiation Testing
-
Solar radiation on materials can cause cosmetic deterioration with the fading or oxidation of plastic. This oxidation can make components start to fade and weaken. The heating effects of the sun can cause plastic, vinyl and/or metal components to shift or distort, causing operational interruption, shorts and false control inputs. The most significant effect is discoloration that cheapens the look of any quality product. These effects can be accentuated when combined with temperature and humidity.

Accelerated Aging Testing
-
Accelerated aging is a testing method used to estimate the useful lifespan of a product when actual lifespan data is unavailable. This occurs with products that have not existed long enough to have gone through their useful lifespan: for example, a new type of car engine or a new polymer for replacement joints or medical products and packaging.

Explosive Atmosphere Testing
-
A product that is designed for or could potentially be placed in a hazardous, explosive environment must be evaluated, especially if it could cause the environment to ignite. This is imperative for products that operate within engine compartments, electrical panels that are mounted in adverse environments, pumps and much more. We can test using almost any mixture of propane or hexane gas and can support these tests with altitudes up to 50,000 ft. If you are concerned about your product’s potential risks, see us about putting your test plans in action.

Thermal Shock Testing
-
Thermal shock is a very important test for determining the reliability of a product when subjected to sudden changes in temperature and how this stress source can accumulate deterioration or physical damage in performance.
