| The Environmental Testing Capabilities |
|
The Environmental Testing Laboratory supports testing of materials under an array of environmental conditions. Specimens can be tested under accelerated regimes of ultraviolet (UV) exposure, condensation, and water spray. They are also routinely subjected to repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
|
|
Accelerated Weathering Testers (2) - QUV; programmable cycles of UV exposure, condensation, water spray, thermal shock and irradiance control; capacity of 48 test specimens; maximum specimen size of 12" x 24".
|
|
Freezer - Harford Duracool 100 ft2 Walk-in: -20 F to 0 F.
|
|
Horizontal/Vertical Flame Chamber - Atlas Model HVUL; capable of testing specimens up to 24" long x 24" wide; used for flammability testing of plastic and composite materials.
|
|
Hot Baths - Temperature-controlled immersion of composites in water or other chemical reagents is performed to determine rates of material degradation. |
|
Temperature/Humidity Environmental Chamber - ESPEC Chamber: Model ESL 3CA, -35C to 150C, 10-98% RH. |
