Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT), Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS), and Accelerated Weathering are three methods utilized for early determination of potential problems your products may encounter during the course of their lifetime. These methods are conceptually similar to fatigue testing, as they attempt to wear out test materials or products at highly accelerated rates.

Accelerated weathering is the simulation of the damaging effects of long term exposure of coatings, materials, and products to outdoor conditions. There are a number of different types of outdoor conditions accelerated weathering addresses, including wind, rain, icing, sand and dust, and of course, UV exposure.

Acceleration testing provides engineers with data on the behavior of materials and equipment when the test items are subjected to acceleration forces (typically measured in terms of g-forces) applied slowly and held steadily for extended periods of time. Acceleration testing specifically avoids creating shock, vibration, or dynamic (resonant) responses in test items.

Different types of devices have different thresholds for acceptable amounts of acoustic noise. Acoustic testing services assess how your product will perform in real-world conditions, and whether or not further revisions should be made to reduce noise. At NTS, we have more than 50 years of experience performing acoustic noise testing and monitoring. We can determine an appropriate testing protocol for your needs, and ensure it is completed to the highest possible standards at one of our many test centers located across the country.

Advanced Composite Materials (ACMs) have broad, proven applications, in the aircraft, aerospace, and sports equipment sectors. Even more specifically ACMs are very attractive for aircraft and aerospace structural parts. ACMs have been developing for NASA’s Advanced Space Transportation Program, armor protection for Army aviation and the Federal Aviation Administration of the U.S.A., and high-temperature shafting for the Comanche helicopter. Additionally, ACMs have decades of history in military and government aerospace industries. However, much of the new technology is now being developed for secondary or commercial markets, and the technology of advanced composites manufacture is continually evolving.

Any product or system component that’s exposed to the air has the potential to incur damage due to atmospheric conditions and contaminants. For telecommunications, aerospace, automotive and other equipment, these conditions can lead to premature wear and potential liability issues down the line. As a result, air testing equipment has become an important part of the quality-control process.

ARP5412B - National Technical Systems
The waveforms provided in the ARP5412 are considered to be adequate for the demonstration of compliance for the protection of an aircraft and its systems against the lightning environment and should be applied in accordance with the aircraft lightning strike zones (see ARP5414) and test methods (see ARP5416), and applicable FAA and EASA advisory and interpretive material.

EUROCAE ED-105 - National Technical Systems
The EUROCAE ED-105 is the Aircraft Lightning Test Methods published by the European Organization for Civil Aviation (EUROCAE). The document is one of a set covering the whole spectrum of aircraft interaction with lightning. Its intent is to describe how to conduct lightning direct effects tests and indirect effects tests

Products and equipment used at excessive heights need to be durable enough to withstand the extreme conditions they will face. Accurately replicating temperature, humidity and atmospheric conditions requires specially designed facilities in which controlled, precise altitude testing can be performed.

The intent of arc resistance testing is to distinguish between solid electrical insulating materials. It examines the specimen’s ability to resist an arc with high voltage and low current exposed to the material’s insulating surface. The ASTM arc resistance test for dry and uncontaminated materials centers on the time elapsed until tracking paths form.

The American Society for Testing and Materials was founded over a century ago to answer the call for more uniform quality manufacturing standards in the railroad industry. ASTM International is a global organization centered on the development and delivery of international standards. As indicated on its website, ASTM has published nearly 12,000 test methods and standards. Known for advanced technical quality and market relevance, ASTM standards are used in research and development, product testing, and quality systems. ASTM standards are critical elements of the information infrastructure that guides manufacturing and trade in the global economy.
