Temperature Testing

Temperature Testing

Temperature testing is important for examining a product’s capacity to function in harsh conditions. According to MIL-STD 810 Methods 501, 502, and 503, exposure to either a constant temperature or variable temperatures can be used for testing.
When exposed to a constant temperature, the test item is immersed in a solution until it reaches equilibrium; the test temperature must be maintained for at least two hours. To assess the test item’s susceptibility to variable temperature exposure, it must undergo at least seven cycles, equivalent to 1% of the hours of extreme temperature occurring during the most severe month in an ordinary year at the most severe site. For operational exposure testing, three cycles must be completed, with a maximum of seven cycles if repeated temperature response is challenging to obtain.
Accelerated aging testing is also used to define storage time guidelines and ascertain a product’s anticipated life cycle. Heat, humidity, vibration, and other environmental variables are used to model the long-term effects of external conditions on a product or package. Temperature testing is important for precise accelerated aging testing, making us the ideal testing partner.
