Temperature Testing

Equipment for Temperature Test Labs at Infinita Lab

We are aware that the temperature and temperature/humidity tests are the ones that take up the most time in your testing program, and we value communication and dependability. Infinita Lab testing engineers will make sure that your testing is carried out effectively to provide you with the finest outcome possible.

A variety of temperature/humidity test chambers are run by Infinita Lab. Little benchtop to large drive-in chambers is available in a variety of sizes. Our reach-in and walk-in temperature test chambers can evaluate temperatures ranging from -70°C at the low end to 200°C at the high end. We also have lab ovens with a maximum temperature of 1,200 °C. Although these are common temperature ranges, Infinita Lab can create bespoke setups down to -196°C. Infinita Lab can carry out the temperature testing you require thanks to our extensive selection of testing tools and custom testing capabilities.

Outline of Temperature Testing

Temperature testing, by MIL-STD 810 Methods 501, 502, and 503, examines a product’s capacity to function in harsh conditions. Testing can be done with either a continuous temperature exposure or a cyclic temperature exposure.

Exposure to a constant temperature

The test item is immersed in a solution until its temperature reaches equilibrium, at this point the test temperature must be maintained for at least two hours.

Exposure to Variable Temperatures

The two steps of cyclic temperature exposure are:

The first step is storage. To correspond to the 1% frequency of occurrence of the hours of extreme temperatures during the most severe month in an average year at the most severe location, the storage test cycle count must be at least seven, per MIL-STD 810. (During each cycle, the temperature is at its highest for about an hour.) Increase the number of cycles to ensure that the design specifications are met when taking into account extended storage, important materials, or materials that are determined to be extremely sensitive to high temperatures.

Operation in Process II. Three cycles must be completed for the operational exposure test, according to MIL-STD 810. The test item will typically attain its maximum response temperature with this number. Because repeated temperature response is challenging to get, a maximum of seven cycles is advised.

Increased Aging

To define storage time guidelines, such as shelf life, accelerated aging testing is utilized to ascertain the anticipated life cycle of a product. ASTM F1980, which focuses on sterile barrier systems for medical device packaging, is one of the most popular test procedures for accelerated aging. We can model the long-term effects of external conditions on a product or package by using heat, humidity, vibration, and other environmental variables. Our capabilities make us the ideal testing partner because temperature testing is a crucial instrument for precise accelerated aging testing.

One of the climatic testing services we provide is temperature testing, and our lab is fully stocked with the appropriate tools. A temperature testing lab with extensive expertise in both low and high temperatures is called Infinita Lab. Talk to us about how we may assist you in completing your temperature test requirements.
