Applied Technical Services conducts thermal cycling testing by exposing products, materials, and equipment to extreme temperatures to analyze durability and functionality.
Testing Method
Thermal cycling, or temperature testing, is performed by placing the test subject in a thermal chamber that exposes the object to cycles of high and low temperatures over time. Minimum and maximum temperatures ranging between -60ยฐC and 170ยฐC are set by our thermal cycling technicians, depending on the objectโs intended functionality, standard operating environment, and the applicable industry standard. Our thermal cycling lab is capable of temperature ramp rates of 7.5ยฐC per minute and can accommodate test subjects of varying sizes up to 14 ft. x 10 ft. x 11 ft. Thermal cycling and temperature testing helps clients in pre-production manufacturing stages or in failure analysis following an incident.
