How Environmental Testing Ensures Product Reliability



A number of design engineers create and design a good product that works great during the initial phase of development and testing. Unfortunately, this doesn't guarantee that once the product goes into mass production, most of them are still able to function properly after using them for a long time. So how do manufacturers know whether their merchandise has high quality and are reliable when used for a certain amount of time under different environmental conditions? The best way for manufacturers and engineers to ensure product reliability is through environmental testing.

What Is Environmental Testing?
Environmental Testing is done to assess the product's response to the physical and climactic risks that may happen throughout its operational life. This testing method helps recognize the good's compliance, analyze and resolve damage issues, and assure the product's reliability and durability. This testing method involves accelerating the aging process of the merchandise so that the manufacturers can predict its lifecycle. In addition, this testing method ensures that the product is capable of operating in a physical environment and in extreme climate conditions. Environmental testing is usually required in equipments used in defense, automotive, medical, rail, and maritime industries.


This testing process helps determine the merchandise's ability to operate and survive physical stresses, including extreme climate and temperature changes as well as vibration and shock. These physical environments are re reproduced in a laboratory under repeatable conditions.

Types of Environmental Testing Services
·         Vibration Testing: This is the shaking or shocking of a product to determine whether it can stand up to real life environment.

·         Humidity Testing: This type of testing makes use of temperature and humidity chambers to test how the temperature and humidity affects a particular good. This type of test also involves subjecting the products to the temperature and humidity cycling of the chambers.

·         Shock Testing: The products are tested to prove their strength against shock, impact, bump, and free fall. This type of testing is done to determine the capacity of the merchandise or its parts in withstanding sudden changes in condition and temperature.

·         Water Testing: Our Water Testing Services are well appreciated in the market. Over the years we have become synonymous with quality service providers in the domain. We leverage on cutting edge tools and equipment for testing water. Today we are a name to reckon with for our professional handling of these critical areas. Our testing range offers critical solutions for all applications and budgetary profile.

·         Noise level Testing: The unwanted sound is called noise. Environmental noise is evaluated by comparing a measurement or prediction of the noise to one or more criteria. There are many different criteria and ways of measuring and specifying noise, depending on the purpose of the evaluation.

·         Soil Testing: The introduction of substances, biological organisms, or solid wastes the soil, results in a change of the soil quality, which is likely to affect the normal use of the soil or endangering public health and the living environment, therefore it is necessary to consider it as a determinant to the environmental quality.

If the products undergo these testing procedures, engineers can improve the design to increase the product's reliability. Environmental testing can be done by following the accepted standards for national and international requirements or to customer requirements.

Manufacturers, who do not want to spend a lot of money in purchasing testing equipment, can consider employing the services of a product testing company, such as SIGMA TEST & RESEARCH CENTRE.
SIGMA TEST & RESEARCH CENTRE was established in 2009 by technocrat educationists who have over 30 years of experience in the area of education, administration, manufacturing and marketing, with an objective to provide excellence in testing services and to offer innovative and exceptional analytical process.

Often when we talk about air pollution we talk about various gases and compounds, but what we should really be talking about is how they combine together. For instance if there is CO2 from a smokestack, and there is also sulfur in the air, and other pollutants they form and make additional compounds. Some of these compounds might combine with organic matter and the moisture in the air. The amount of heat, sunlight, and static in the air also make a difference. We can prove this in a lab. Salt Spray Testing Lab provides everyone with a salt spray test, used to check corrosion resistance of materials and surface coatings. Complying with the developing environmental legislation within the electronics industry has become increasingly difficult, especially within the last few years. As environmental legislation changes, having up-to-date information is like trying to successfully shoot a moving target.   As more re...

Value Of Ensuring Quality At Labs And How It Is Attained

Image
There is a World Accreditation Day celebrated all over the world on June 9 which is celebrated to raise awareness for the importance of accreditation. In short, this day celebrates the assurance of adhering to international standards and maintaining quality for calibration and laboratory testing. It is important to understand that specific day are created to ascertain a sense of importance for that particular subject. In the case of accreditation, it is important to understand that it is through accreditation that quality is maintained. Laboratory tests have a large impact on our daily life, for example, health care, safe drinking water, food, and environment monitoring, energy and mineral processes, etc. Everything relies on laboratory results for many important decisions and accreditation increases the confidence of the public in the test results. The crucial assessment process The competence of a laboratory is assured through an assessment process and testing program...
