Climatic Testing
Equipment designers need to ensure that designs are capable of operating in a diverse range of climatic environments; for example, hot humid, dry desert, arctic and high altitude conditions.
We have test facilities that can simulate all climatic conditions covering various extremes including temperature, altitude, humidity, icing, temperature cycling, solar heating and corrosive atmospheres. They are continuously monitored by our central SCADA (computer-based data collection system).
Climatic testing of products helps to verify that products will function and survive across the full range of their intended climatic environment, whether that environment is cold, humid, damp or hot.
