Climatics Testing
|
|
E-Labs, Inc provides a wide variety
of environmental exposure testing
services that have the ability to
simulate and control most climatic
conditions including temperature,
humidity, altitude, pressure,
vibration, temperature cycling,
solar heating, exposure to UV light,
corrosive atmospheres, and other
climatic variables. These climatic
testing services play an important
role in product and component
testing to ensure that stringent
custom and industry standard
specifications are met. Items tested
range from test samples, parts, and
components, to finished products. Industries we have served for climatics testing include Aerospace
/ Avionics, Appliances, Automotive,
HVAC, Industrial / Machinery, and
Life Science / Medical.
The effects of product exposure to
climate-related conditions are
modeled through the use of special
test chambers. These chambers have
the ability to cover extreme
environmental variations as well as
constant temperature and humidity
levels.
The climatics department of E-Labs
offers a wide range of chamber sizes
from 2 to 3,500 cubic feet. All
chambers are equipped with digital
controllers that allow for safe and
accurate operation at any
temperature or humidity level. We
have over 20 chambers, ranging from
2 cubic feet to 3,500 cubic feet.
All chambers have microprocessor
controllers and product savers that
allow for continuous monitoring and
data collection.
E-Labs, Inc can also provide
assistance with the interpretation
of specifications as well as the
design of proper climatic test
programs based on your product
application. |

Large walk-in temperature humidity chambers.
Capabilities for performing rain, wind and rain, and drip-proofing testing.

Altitude Testing
The higher the altitude, the lower the atmospheric pressure that gets exerted. Vacuum chambers are used to test the effect of atmospheric pressure on components that may be
damaged due to pressurization changes. This is particularly useful for components that may be shipped via air freight, communication equipment used in high altitudes, as well as for testing engine and
propulsion systems designed to operate in space. Our environmental chambers can simulate altitudes from 0 to 100,000 feet with temperatures extremes from -150 to 350 F. We have
performed altitude tests for durations from 1 hour to 26 days with around the clock support. Cycling tests have also been done to study the effect of repetitive
pressure changes.

|
Combined Environment Testing
We have the
flexibility to turn any of
our 3 vibration systems into
combined environments,
combining
temperature/humidity
chambers with
electro-dynamic vibration
shakers. The chambers can
perform rapid rates of
temperature change and the
vibration facilities can
handle 18,000 force-pounds,
with frequencies up to 2000
Hz. |
|
|
Explosive Atmosphere Testing
This environmental testing
assures the safety of a
component exposed to
explosive vapors or to other
dangerous environments. Our
environmental testing
facility can be used to show
proper operation of a test
item in the explosive
atmosphere environment. It
can help determine whether
the test item will safely
operate in a highly volatile
environment without igniting
and causing an explosion or
if it is able to contain a
flammable reaction within an
enclosure. Testing can be
performed at various
altitudes and temperatures
and is suitable for
electronic equipment,
aircraft components, and
medical equipment. |
|
|
Fungus Testing
Fungus can cause
equipment damage and limit
the operational reliability
of equipment in the field.
We can simulate these
effects in a controlled
environmental test. E-Labs
has retired FDA scientists
on staff that assure fungus
viability prior to
inoculation and test control
samples are included
to show growth while units
are under test. This
environmental testing can be
performed to mil-std 810 US
and European fungus or a
combination of, to
meet most any needs. |
|
|
Ice Testing
Ice can be produced on items
from small to large
components and from a thin
glaze to more than an inch
thick depending on your
requirements. Using
our large drive-in and
walk-in chambers, we
can produce this ice on a
wide variety of test items. |
|
|
Immersion Testing
This test is performed on a
wide variety of test item
sizes to ensure proper
sealing for water intrusion.
We can perform the testing
and measure the exact amount
of water if any that has
leaked inside a unit and
provide documented results. |
|
|
Rain, Spray and Drip Testing
Whether it is a drizzle or
steady rain or even a
torrential wind-driven
downpour, our rain systems
can produces levels to meet
any need. All rain tests go
through a calibration
process before one drop
touches the test item to
ensure proper fall out. |
|
|
Rapid Decompression Testing
Using our altitude
chambers we can simulate a
wide range of rapid
decompression requirements.
Large volume chambers
combined with rapid control
valves give us the
flexibility to produce many
decompression rates. |
|
|
Salt Fog and Spray Testing
Accelerated corrosion
atmospheres for salt spray
testing can be applied to
items as large as 16ft by
15ft by 15ft. We have
portable chambers that can
be configured to a multitude
of shapes and sizes to meet
all our customers’ needs. |
|
|
Sand Dust Testing
We can create
desert like conditions or
the air blast from a
helicopter rotor blades with
the abrasion and erosion of
sand and dust, combined with
temperature to meet the high
operating environments, of
electronic assemblies. Mil-Std environmental
testing is performed in our
facility using 2 separate
sand and dust chambers and
an outdoor set up for items
as large as a pickup truck.
The outdoor facility uses a
large fan capable of wind
speeds in excess of 200 mph. |
|
|
|
Solar Testing |
E-Labs uses many solar light
set up configurations
ranging from a one light to
a multi light set up in our
drive in chamber. This gives
us flexibility depending on
the coverage needed to meet
the size of any test item.
This permits meeting the
most demanding environmental
testing schedules. |

Temperature & Humidity
Testing
High/Low Temperature
Testing
E-labs chambers
range in size from 2
to 4,700 cubic feet,
with capabilities of
-150° to 350°F,
all computer
controlled with
redundant safeties
to assure product
safety while in
test. All chambers
have feed through
holes ranging in
size from 2 to 6
inches for test item
cabling to aid in
functional testing.
Humidity Testing
All humidity
chambers range in
size from our large
drive-in
environmental
testing facility
that is 25ft deep by
14ft wide by 14ft
tall, to our smaller
1ft by 1ft chamber.
All chambers meet
the requirement of
Mil-Std-810 and use
digital controller
and humidity probes
to accurately record
the environment.
