Climatics » 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 or behave differently 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 temperature 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.
