Solar Radiation (Sunshine) Test
-
This test determines the effects of direct solar radiation on components and material. The heating effects of solar radiation differ from those of high air temperature in that the amount of heat absorbed depends on the roughness and color of the surface on which the radiation is incident and the angle of incidence to the sun. Variations in the intensity of solar radiation over the surface of the component, may cause components to expand or contract at different rates, which can lead to severe stresses and loss of structural integrity. In addition, degradation due to photo-chemical changes can occur such as fading of color, deterioration of natural and synthetic elastomers and polymers. The test items that are subjected to solar radiation testing are those that are exposed to solar radiation during its life cycle, in the open, in warm climates.

Random Drop (Non-Packaged) Test
-
The random drop test is used to determine the effects on non-packaged components of random, repeated dropping due to handling, shipping, and other field service conditions. The test is an accelerated test designed to indicate structural and mechanical weaknesses of types not necessarily detected in shock and vibration tests.

Pneumatic and Hydraulic Characteristics Test
-
Pneumatic and hydraulic testing is performed to demonstrate operating pressure, pressure drop, volume and flow parameters, as well as performance characteristics, of fluid system components and assemblies.

Product
Fluid Contamination Test
-
Fluid contamination testing determines the abilities of materials to withstand the contaminating fluids, to which they are exposed in service.

Product
Electrostatic Discharge Test
-
The electrostatic discharge test is designed to determine the ability of equipment to perform its intended function without permanent degradation of performance as a result of an air discharged electrostatic pulse. Electrostatic discharge is the result of an unbalanced electrical charge. Typically, it is created by insulator surfaces rubbing together or pulling apart. A transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies (materials, components, etc.) at different electrostatic potentials is caused by direct contact.

Product
Fungus Test
-
The fungus test assesses the extent to which material will support fungal growth and how any fungal growth may affect performance. The fungus test also identifies how rapidly fungus will grow on the material, and how fungus affects the material, its mission, and its safety for use following the growth of fungus on the material.

Lightning Test
-
Lightning testing is used to determine the ability of externally mounted electrical and electronic equipment to withstand the direct effects of a lightning strike.

Product
Package Handling Test
-
This test subjects packaged items to the stresses encountered during handling, transportation and storage. The tests consist of drop tests, storage tests such as stacking and compression, temperature tests and transportation vibration tests.

Particle Impact Noise Detection (PIND) Test
-
This test detects the presence of free moving particulate contaminants within sealed cavity devices. This test is specifically directed toward relays and other devices where internal mechanism noise makes rejection exclusively by threshold level impractical. This test method also may be used prior to final sealing in the manufacturing sequence as a means of eliminating loose particles from the interior of the device.

Dielectric Withstanding Voltage Test
-
The dielectric withstanding voltage test (also called high-potential, over-potential voltage-breakdown, or dielectric-strength test) consists of the application of a voltage significantly higher than rated voltage for a specific time, between mutually insulated portions of a component part or between insulated portions and ground. This is used to prove that the component part can operate safely at its rated voltage and withstand momentary over-potentials due to switching, surges, and other similar phenomena.

Electrical Contacts Test
-
The electrical contact testing is performed to determine the reliability of equipment under various contacting conditions. A few types of electrical contact tests are: contact-chatter monitoring, contact resistance, intermediate, and low level contact switching.

Product
Terminal Mechanical Strength Test
-
The terminal strength test is used to performed to determine whether the design of electrical terminals and their method of attachment can withstand mechanical stresses to which they will be subjected during installation or disassembly in equipment. These stresses must be withstood by the component without sustaining damage which would affect either the integrity of the terminals or the operation of the component part itself. Procedures are established in this method for testing, for example wire-lead terminals, flexible-flat-strip or tab-lead terminals, and rigid-type terminals which are threaded or have other arrangements for attaching conductors. The forces applied during the test consist of direct axial, radial or tension pulls, twist, bending torsion, and the torque exerted by the application of nuts or screws on threaded terminals.

Inclination (Cyclic Motion) Test
-
This test simulates cyclic motions such as encountered by equipment on marine applications, e.g, pitch, yaw, and roll.
-
Product
Magnetic Effects Test
-
This test determines if an object can operate normally in strong externally generated magnetic environments. The magnetic effect test helps to assist in determining the proper location of the equipment in the installation.

Ozone Test
-
Ozone is an extremely reactive form of oxygen occurring around electrical discharges. It is also present in the atmosphere, but in small quantities. Ozone testing is performed to determine the effect on materials such as rubber, plastics, etc, which are susceptible to ozone-induced degradation.
