Applied Technical Services offers a broad range of temperature variation testing and analysis services in our RTCA DO-160 5.0 Temperature Variation Testing Lab.
Temperature Variation Testing
RTCA DO-160 Section 5.0 testing verifies the performance characteristics of equipment when exposed to the extreme temperature variations that occur in its standard operating environment. This applies to an aircraft’s internal and external equipment located in temperature-controlled and uncontrolled environments, pressurized and unpressurized environments, and locations with partial levels of temperature control and pressurization.
Temperature variation testing includes temperature change rates of 2 degrees Celsius per minute, 5 degrees Celsius per minute, 10 degrees Celsius per minute, and greater than 10 degrees Celsius per minute. RTCA DO-160 Section 5.0 is not meant to monitor the behavior of aircraft equipment in wet or icing conditions and temperature testing chambers used during these testing procedures may minimize or eliminate humidity conditions accordingly.
RTCA DO-160
As an RTCA DO-160 5.0 Temperature Variation Testing Lab, ATS performs testing in compliance with the RTCA’s aircraft equipment standards. These standards must be adhered to by all aircraft manufacturers to maintain industry compliance.
