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.

Solar Radiation Testing
Solar radiation on materials can cause cosmetic deterioration with the fading or oxidation of plastic. This oxidation can make components start to fade and weaken. The heating effects of the sun can cause plastic, vinyl and/or metal components to shift or distort, causing operational interruption, shorts and false control inputs. The most significant effect is discoloration that cheapens the look of any quality product. These effects can be accentuated when combined with temperature and humidity.
