About MIL-STD
MIL-STD testing, short for Military Standard testing, is a critical set of test methods designed to assess the durability and performance of equipment under various environmental conditions. Originally developed for military applications, these standards are now widely used in commercial sectors to ensure product reliability and robustness.
Our MIL-STD-810 Testing Capabilities
We specialize in MIL-STD-810 testing, which encompasses a wide range of environmental test methods. Our services include the following methods:
- Method 501 High Temperature: Evaluates the effects of high temperature on equipment during operation and storage.
- Method 502 Low Temperature: Assesses equipment performance and survival in extremely cold environments.
- Method 503 Temperature Shock: Tests equipment’s ability to withstand sudden changes in temperature. Temperature fluctuations from -68°C to 200°C (-90°F to 392°F) and back can be achieved in 20 seconds.
- Method 505 Solar Radiation: Determines the effects of solar radiation on equipment materials and performance.
- Method 507 Humidity: Evaluates equipment resistance to warm, humid environments.
- Method 509 Salt Fog: Assesses the effects of a salt-laden atmosphere on equipment.
- Method 524 Freeze-Thaw: Tests equipment’s ability to withstand freeze-thaw cycles.
