Environment Associates Inc.
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.

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.

Environment Associates is outfitted with multiple chambers to suit all types of temperature and humidity testing needs, including: table-top, standard-reaching, fixed or portable walk-in chambers, and if needed, drive-in chambers. All Environment Associates test chambers are equipped with separate data-acquisition equipment for temperature and humidity monitoring. Our temperature and humidity chambers can be readily equipped with specialized data acquisition to digitally record chamber conditions and the test article at multiple data points. Many of our temperature and humidity chambers are equipped with high-performance, maximum-size compressors to produce superior ramp rates equal to or greater than 15°C per minute.

When you want to test your product for extreme space conditions, that include temperatures from 155°C to -175°C at space vacuum altitudes, Environment Associates is your solution. Using this test to determine the unique failures of space mechanisms that orbit the earth is key in improving system reliability. Thermal vacuum testing is similar to thermal cycling but adds deep space vacuums for detecting corona/arcing and intermittence and increases a product’s out-gassing. The key failure modes found during this test are: 1) electrical iIntermittence, 2) thermal control issues, 3) arcing, 4) corona, 5) material out-gassing, and more, to determine a product’s flight-worthiness for workmanship and processing issues.

The purpose of Pyroshock (pyrotechnic shock) testing is to simulate the high-frequency, high-magnitude shock pulse experienced by an explosive event (such as an impact on a military tank or an explosive deployment charge). Pyroshock testing can expose failures in electronic components that are sensitive to high-frequency pyroshock energy. Common failures include: relay and crystal oscillator chatter, detachment of larger components from the circuit board, hard failures of small circuit components, and the dislodging of contaminants, which cause short circuits. Severe damage to crucial components used in space or in the military can produce critical results, such as loss of life, due to malfunction.
