Both thermal shock testing and temperature cycle testing exposes a device under test (DUT) to alternating high and low air temperatures to accelerate failures caused due to repeated temperature variations during normal use conditions.

HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing) is a proven rigorous reliability test method designed by ESPEC to identify weaknesses and design defects in electronics and electromechanical devices.

Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) rehabilitation is a realistic and cost-efficient alternative to extend the life of existing sewer lines. This procedure offers rehabilitation for pipes without the need to dig into the existing pipeline.

This is a simulation of the natural conditions using extreme weathering condition to speed up the weathering process and evaluate the impacts on the materials. This testing technique is applied to measure future degradation or corrosion of materials.

As a design engineer, below are few points to put into consideration when evaluating or comparing potential mechanical shock and vibration testing laboratories.

The decision to finding the right vibration test lab to perform your vibration tests shouldn't be rushed. It requires conducting thoroughly research and asking questions regarding any vibration test lab you are considering. After all, you don’t want to have to repeat the tests or have your product development behind schedule.

There are four types vibration testing profiles; each designed to simulate the vibration energy observed on each unique system. The decision to select the ideal profile to perform a vibration test should be depending on the environment and the goal of the test program.

Plastics don’t respond in the same manner with metals. Even when stressed below their yield stress, plastic materials will creep and given sufficient time under load plastics can fail. It’s critical to understand this creep characteristic when designing a CIPP liner installation.

Since the CIPP industry is now effectively a global supply chain, it’s useful to examine the differences between ASTM F1218 and ISO 11296 to determine how CIPP flexural properties measured by the North American testing method compares with flexural results determined by the international method.

Understanding what the vibration testing lab will be doing for you is critical to ensuring that the test data which you will receive is valid and not affected your lack of experience in the test method.
