The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) offers thermal vacuum testing for electronics used in aerospace applications.
Electronics in Thermal Vacuums
Outer space conditions consist of extreme temperatures and pressures that can comprise the performance of various types of electronics needed to operate satellites and spacecraft. Thermal vacuums offer manufacturers and engineers the opportunity to assess how their products and equipment perform in controlled environments that mirror the conditions experienced beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. The information gathered during the testing process is critical to improving product design and performance, which helps avoid future complications or failures.
More About Our Thermal Vacuum Testing Services
Our state-of-the-art thermal vacuum chambers offer our clients an effective and efficient way to determine how electronic equipment and components perform in vacuums. We recognize the immense importance that electronic equipment has in the aerospace industry, so we take pride in our ability to help our clients prepare for the extreme conditions their equipment must endure. Our services boost our client’s confidence in their electronics while assisting them to do the following:
- Confirm electronics perform as expected in extreme temperatures
- Identify limitations within a product’s design that need to be addressed
- Optimize the performance of electrical components and systems
The Importance of Thermal Vacuum Testing
Thermal vacuum chambers are needed to accurately examine how materials, equipment, and components respond to vacuum conditions. Electronics are especially prone to temperature-related failures, including overheating and degradation. Thermal vacuum tests grant manufacturers and equipment operators the opportunity to identify and address hazards that may compromise an operation. Proactive thermal vacuum tests ensure the reliability of equipment, and failure to conduct these tests may result in the following:
- Poorly insulated equipment
- Static charge-related damage
- Degradation
- Ineffective equipment
- Shortened service life for electronics
These issues can comprise equipment, leading to expensive repairs and delays.
