Climatic tests
Validate the life profile of your equipment in conditions of high and low temperature and humidity
Why carry out climatic testing?
- Verifying the suitability of equipment for use, transport or storage in conditions of high and low temperature and humidity.
- Test compliance with industry standards to guarantee the expected performance of equipment.
- Simulate severe climatic conditions to anticipate failures and improve equipment life.
- Accelerate the climatic ageing of equipment
Types of climatic tests
Our laboratories are equipped to carry out a range of environmental tests:
- Thermal tests: Exposure to temperatures from -90°C to +650°C.
- Humidity testing: Simulation of humidity levels between 10% and 100% RH.
- Thermal shocks and rapid temperature changes: Rapid transition between two temperatures to test the resistance of materials.
- Solar radiation: Analysis of degradation under prolonged exposure to sunlight.
- Corrosion and salt spray: Testing resistance to marine environments and corrosive atmospheres.
- Combined tests: Combination of climatic tests with vibration and mechanical stress.
