Accredited environmental test

An accredited environmental test demonstrates that the product meets the specified requirements and is thus able to withstand the climatic and mechanical conditions to which it will be exposed during use.

With an accredited environmental test by DELTA you can avoid:

• Faults in products during use, storage and transport
• Start-up problems at low temperatures
• Freezing up of movable parts
• Incorrect functioning due to thermal runaway or hotspots
• Changes in electronic parameters, e.g. impedance, leak current, etc.
• Accumulation of water
• Corrosion
• Loose components
• Broken mechanical parts
• Poor connections
• Transport damage

The environmental tests which the specific product will undergo are normally specified in a requirements specification or an environmental testing specification. DELTA has a wide range of testing facilities at its disposal where the product can be exposed to various environmental stresses.

Climatic tests:

• High temperature
• Low temperature
• Constant moisture
• Cyclic moisture
• Thermal shock
• Icing

Mechanical tests:

• Sine vibration
• Random
• Sine on random
• Shock
• Free Fall
• Bump
• Drop Topple and stability
• Bounce
• Static load
• Compression
• Bending
• Combined vibration and temperature

Corrosion test

• Salt fog
• SO2 test
• H2S test
• Condensation test

Seal test (IP test)

• IP tests
• Immersion in water
• Drip test
• Dust test with/without vacuum

Other environmental tests

• Simulated sun test
• Height simulation
• Overpressure
• Rapid decompression
• Combined temperature, moisture and height simulation
