Environmental Testing
Environmental Testing
The environmental conditioning equipment at the APV Tech Centre can take your product to its extremes. Accelerated lifecycle testing can help insure against quality concerns and provide confidence of your product’s ongoing durability. Products incorporating a wide range of materials, including plastics, metals and electronic components, can benefit from the added certainty that environmental testing provides.
APV Tech Centre has various environmental chambers ranging in size (see full details of chambers below). A walk-in-chamber is also available that allows large objects to be subjected to extreme temperature. APV Tech Centre can test the corrosion resistance of your product and have capability to perform Vibration Testing under temperature and humidity. Accelerated life testing enables faults and potential modes of failure to be discovered in a short amount of time and assists in the prediction of service life and maintenance intervals for a product.
