Unique Facility for high altitude testing with realistic pressure and temperature

challenges We have installed unique custom-built Altitude Test Chamber for subjecting packages to simultaneous challenge of temperature and low-pressure altitude conditions. Altitude Chamber allows users to control the test chamber temperature between 2 to 8 Deg. cel. or 23 deg. cels. while subjecting the product under test to various levels of altitude pressures from sea level to 50,000 feet above sea level. This combination of elements allows precise simulation of real-life conditions a product might encounter at various altitude levels.

Features for Altitude Chamber

• Temperature ranges from 2° to 8°C and 23 deg. cels.
• Altitude ranges from ground to 50,000 feet.
• Software controlled altitude and temp cycles adhering to ASTM D6653 as well customised requirements for sensitive products used in Pharma / medical devise industry.

Unique Electromagnetic 3500 Kgf capacity Random Vibration Machine:

Random vibration testing is an excellent general-purpose tool for
environmental vibration simulation. It is possible to create more
precise, and realistic challenge profiles with the technology employed in the random vibration equipment installed . This equipment is fully controlled by built in controller hooked to PC software for subjecting samples to deferent test profiles.

Features of Random Vibration Machine:

• It can operate X, Y, Z direction & fully programmable for shock Test/Random Vibration/Sine Vibration/bump tests/Customised Vibration.
• 3500kg load capacity.
• Bump testing Facility in Positive & Negative direction.

In addition lab has all other equipments needed to comply
needs of ASTM D4169 to carry out tests for various
distribution cycles.
