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.

Contaminating Fluid Testing
-
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.

Shock Impact Testing
-
Environment Associates provides everything you need in drop shock testing — package/container, drop shock/impact systems and electro-dynamic simulated pulses. With our equipment, we specialize in tuned, matched impacts from 20 Gs to 30,000 Gs and from 30 ms to .02 ms in sine, saw-tooth, square-wave, gunfire and rotational cam pulses for almost any set of standards, or for any real-life condition. We can also handle a large range of weights and sizes. EA’s specialists will match the right test, equipment and configurations to your product. We also provide fixture design and special set-up solutions to mount and monitor your product’s functionality during and after testing.

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.

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.

Explosive Atmosphere Testing
-
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.
