Solar Radiation (Sunshine) Test
-
This test determines the effects of direct solar radiation on components and material. The heating effects of solar radiation differ from those of high air temperature in that the amount of heat absorbed depends on the roughness and color of the surface on which the radiation is incident and the angle of incidence to the sun. Variations in the intensity of solar radiation over the surface of the component, may cause components to expand or contract at different rates, which can lead to severe stresses and loss of structural integrity. In addition, degradation due to photo-chemical changes can occur such as fading of color, deterioration of natural and synthetic elastomers and polymers. The test items that are subjected to solar radiation testing are those that are exposed to solar radiation during its life cycle, in the open, in warm climates.

Lightning Test
-
Lightning testing is used to determine the ability of externally mounted electrical and electronic equipment to withstand the direct effects of a lightning strike.

Sand & Dust Test
-
This test method is divided into two procedures. The small particle procedure, using fine dust is performed to ascertain the ability of equipment to resist the effects of fine particles which may penetrate into cracks, crevices, bearings, and joints. The blowing sand test, using coarse particles, is performed to determine whether equipment can be stored and operated under blowing sand conditions without experiencing degradation of its performance, effectiveness, reliability, and maintainability due to the abrasion or clogging effect of large, sharp-edged particles.

Pneumatic and Hydraulic Characteristics Test
-
Pneumatic and hydraulic testing is performed to demonstrate operating pressure, pressure drop, volume and flow parameters, as well as performance characteristics, of fluid system components and assemblies.

Explosive Atmosphere Test
-
This test demonstrates that a part will not ignite while operating in an explosive ambient atmosphere. The tests are conducted at ground level pressure as well as reduced barometric pressures, in a closed explosion-proof chamber.

Product
Electrostatic Discharge Test
-
The electrostatic discharge test is designed to determine the ability of equipment to perform its intended function without permanent degradation of performance as a result of an air discharged electrostatic pulse. Electrostatic discharge is the result of an unbalanced electrical charge. Typically, it is created by insulator surfaces rubbing together or pulling apart. A transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies (materials, components, etc.) at different electrostatic potentials is caused by direct contact.

Magnetic Effects Test
-
This test determines if an object can operate normally in strong externally generated magnetic environments. The magnetic effect test helps to assist in determining the proper location of the equipment in the installation.

Product
Strain Gauge Test
-
This test measures the structural stresses induced in equipment when subjected to various environmental and operational loads. Strain gages, which are resistive devices whose outputs are proportional to the amount that they are deformed under strain, are placed at selected locations to yield stress levels which may then be compared to design allowable limits.

Terminal Mechanical Strength Test
-
The terminal strength test is used to performed to determine whether the design of electrical terminals and their method of attachment can withstand mechanical stresses to which they will be subjected during installation or disassembly in equipment. These stresses must be withstood by the component without sustaining damage which would affect either the integrity of the terminals or the operation of the component part itself. Procedures are established in this method for testing, for example wire-lead terminals, flexible-flat-strip or tab-lead terminals, and rigid-type terminals which are threaded or have other arrangements for attaching conductors. The forces applied during the test consist of direct axial, radial or tension pulls, twist, bending torsion, and the torque exerted by the application of nuts or screws on threaded terminals.

Icing/Freezing Rain Test
-
This test evaluates the effects of icing/freezing rain on the operational capability of equipment. This method also provides tests for evaluating the effectiveness of de-icing equipment and techniques, using prescribed means that are used in the field.

Product
Electromagnetic Interference Test
-
Electromagnetic interference (also known as radio frequency interference) tests are used to determine the electromagnetic characteristics of electrical, electronic, and electro-mechanical equipment. Electromagnetic interference, both radiated or conducted, can affect the performance of equipment. Electromagnetic interference tests are specified as follows: conducted emission, radiated emission, conducted susceptibility, and radiated susceptibility.

Random Drop (Non-Packaged) Test
-
The random drop test is used to determine the effects on non-packaged components of random, repeated dropping due to handling, shipping, and other field service conditions. The test is an accelerated test designed to indicate structural and mechanical weaknesses of types not necessarily detected in shock and vibration tests.

Product
Soldering Test
-
The soldering tests are conducted to determine if materials can withstand soldering effects, such as resistance to soldering heat, as well as the solderability of components during the manufacturing process.
-
Product
Corrosion Test
-
The purpose of this test is to determine the resistance of materials and protective coatings to corrosive atmospheres when a more corrosive environment than the salt fog/spray test is required. The test is used when material is stored or operated in areas, for example, where acidic atmospheres exist, such as in industrial areas or near the exhausts of any fuel-burning device. Gases such as sulfur dioxide are used to replicate the exhausts of fuel burning devices.
