environmental testing
Safely simulating climatic conditions and mechanical stress at exteme levels
Environmental testing is carried out to ensure that components will perform satisfactorily in service, the degree of testing being determined by the class of equipment and the performance testing required.
A typical test regime for duct equipment and bellows-sealed components may include; cyclic fatigue testing, icing test or ultimate proof pressure test, all conducted on-site in our facility.
In-house testing capabilities
Our on-site testing facilities include the comprehensive replication of aircraft operational environment and rigorous environmental testing to ensure maximum performance, as well as:
Endurance at elevated temperature
Cyclic fatigue
Proof/burst and rupture
24/7 cycle testing
High temperature and pressure
Subzero and icing
Helium leak detection
Radiography
Dye penetrant
Air under water
Mass spectrometer leak detection
Three-axis measuring resource
Clear communication
Each project begins with a test readiness review followed by an in-depth discussion to ensure the scope of testing is clear, and that any safety considerations are addressed.
Once a test is complete, it is digitally documented and compiled into a thorough qualification test report which is shared with our clients in its entirety.
