Altitude Testing
-
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.

Tensile & Compression Testing
-
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.

Pyroshock Testing
-
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.

Thermal Shock Testing
-
Thermal shock is a very important test for determining the reliability of a product when subjected to sudden changes in temperature and how this stress source can accumulate deterioration or physical damage in performance.

Temperature & Humidity Testing
-
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.
