Sudden changes (1) in temperature can cause physical elements to shatter, crack or warp in unintended ways.
Thermal shock testing is a great tool for determining the resilience of electronic, electromechanical, plastic, and mechanical products that will be deployed in the medical, consumer, aerospace, defence, or automotive industries (think of starting a car in the winter)
Consider the temperature variations the parts of an aeroplane (6) experience as temperatures change as altitude increases or decreases, or the trauma inflicted on a GPS device used in wilderness terrain by field researchers. The ability of these electronics to function properly is often a matter of life and death.
Our automated Thermal Shock Chamber has 2 chambers:
Hot chamber +60⁰C to +220⁰;
Cold chamber -10⁰C to -80⁰C
The transition time between chambers is less than 10 seconds which allows us to meet the very stringent requirements of MIL-STD-810 (2,3,4) and DEF-STAN 00-35 (5), with stabilisation times of less than 30 seconds.
Temperature Cycling and Rapid Thermal Cycling tests can be achieved across a range of temperatures and transfer speeds. Our chambers are capable of up to 10⁰C per minute transition both hot and cold. Temperature cycling allows products to undergo accelerated life testing and simulate the changes in temperature experience by products and devices in many environments: aerospace, marine, desert, arctic, tundra and many more areas.
