The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies features advanced environmental testing facilities and labs that provide Building Material Environmental Testing and a variety of other environmental material testing services.
Building Material Testing
Building Material Environmental Testing identifies and analyzes various characteristics of building materials, including durability, corrosion resistance, temperature resistance, humidity resistance, and susceptibility to UV radiation. Samples of building materials are placed in environmental chambers that recreate the weather conditions that the materials would be exposed to in their standing operating conditions, such as UV rays from sunlight, wind, rain, and extreme heat.
The materials are closely monitored throughout these processes, with environmental testing experts examining the samples to determine changes in appearance, color, physical properties, and mechanical qualities. Building material testing grants manufacturers insight into the durability and resilience of their products, allowing them to correct issues before products reach the market.
Environmental Testing
Building Material Environmental Testing typically involves the following steps:
- Environmental Chamber Preparation: environmental chambers are set to the desired levels of UV radiation, temperature, and humidity.
- Material Exposure: building materials are placed in the chamber and exposed to specified environmental conditions for a predetermined amount of time.
- Material Evaluation: materials are evaluated for any changes.
- Data Analysis: information is analyzed to determine the impact of environmental testing.
- Reporting: client is provided with a detailed, meticulous report that includes all gathered data, observations, and conclusions.
The specific details and requirements of environmental materials testing differ based on specific criteria and relevant standards. Factors that influence the design of environmental testing include:
- Manufacturing Method
- Intended Product Use
- Regulatory Requirements
- Product Type
- Product Materials
- Standard Product Operating Conditions
