As specialists in dynamic testing, we provide equipment capable of exerting a 6,000 to 40,000 pound force with the capacity to perform closed-loop control from a single input to multiple channel inputs (from 2 to 32) with averaging or notched channel control. Vibration control systems can be programmed for real time monitoring, scheduled for length of time, or level scaled by dB or percentage, or scaled at various durations at different acceleration levels.

Products manufactured using plastics, coated and painted surfaces, seals or other "A" surface materials can come in contact with spilled chemicals, sweat, cleaners, lubricants and fuels that can be a potential stress source for a product. These stress sources can cause discoloration, deterioration and de-lamination failures. We can create a list of fluids and/or follow TRCA, DO-160, MIL-STD-810 and ASTM guidelines for a list of products that should be used to test your part's compatibility.

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.

If you are looking for a value on the forces needed to assemble a product, or what it will take to overcome a connector latch or other device that mates together, let Environment Associates perform these tests for you. We can test in both tensile and compression on samples that are less than 14" (35.56 cm) wide and can handle product travel less than 54" (137.6 cm), with sensitivities at 0.01 lbs. (4.53 grams) at a wide range of speeds. EA specializes in the determination of connector performance for many different applications and styles.

Our environmental testing facilities simulate altitude testing from -400 ft. (-121 meters) to outer space at 100,000 ft. (30,480 meters) or up to 10-6 Torr (1.3e-7 kPa) with temperature applied as low as -300°F (180C). We can reach these heights within 5 minutes or less. We are capable to handle products measuring up to 4ft X 4ft X 8ft to many standards, including MIL-STD-810 and RTCA DO-160.

Products with moving parts, electromechanical components, filtering systems and electronics are all susceptible to fine and large particle dust that can contaminate a product. These contaminates can cause premature failures and loss of function.Today’s test plans for phones, computers, vehicles, enclosures and aircraft include sand and dust testing to determine if this stress source would cause functional deterioration.Our services include military and automotive dust testing for both blowing and agitated dust and sand.

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.

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.
