Life Cyclic Durability Testing
-
Environment Associates can provide everything you need for cyclic durability testing and performance fixturing. Services include mechanical cycling to a position or load, fatigue cycling to a fixed load, rotational torque cycling, and simple push/pull cycling. EA can design your fixture with electro-dynamic, air, or hydraulic assistance to mechanically move your part. All of our fixtures can be manufactured to withstand a wide range of temperature, humidity and vibration inputs. If required, forces can be monitored electronically, using a wide variety of inputs (i.e. strain gages, load cells, rotational transducers, thermocouples, shunts, and more). EA can create holding and check fixtures to perform “pre” and “post” evaluation for dimensional issues that may occur during testing. EA can provide fixtures for single tests run internally for EA test labs and can manufacture fixtures to be purchased directly by the customer for their internal use.

Tensile & Compression Testing
-
If you are looking for a value on the forces needed to assemble a product, or what it will take to overcome a connector latch or other device that mates together, let Environment Associates perform these tests for you. We can test in both tensile and compression on samples that are less than 14" (35.56 cm) wide and can handle product travel less than 54" (137.6 cm), with sensitivities at 0.01 lbs. (4.53 grams) at a wide range of speeds. EA specializes in the determination of connector performance for many different applications and styles.

Explosive Atmosphere Testing
-
A product that is designed for or could potentially be placed in a hazardous, explosive environment must be evaluated, especially if it could cause the environment to ignite. This is imperative for products that operate within engine compartments, electrical panels that are mounted in adverse environments, pumps and much more. We can test using almost any mixture of propane or hexane gas and can support these tests with altitudes up to 50,000 ft. If you are concerned about your product’s potential risks, see us about putting your test plans in action.

Wind & Rain Testing
-
Using an adjustable aircraft prop coupled to a high-powered engine provides the ability to perform wind and rain testing to MIL-STD-810, RTCA DO-160 as well as other environmental testing requirements.
