Thermal shock testing is conducted to determine the products ability to function either in it’s intended use, or in extreme environments.

These tests are performed to determine the products ability to survive constant or fast rate temperature cycling. We conduct thermal shock testing in New Zealand for a range of customers and industries.

Why thermal shock testing?

Thermal shock testing is a great tool for determining the resilience of electronic, electromechanical, plastic, and mechanical products that will be deployed in the medical, consumer, aerospace, defence, or automotive industries.

Exposing your product to environmental stresses reduces the risk of field failures brought about by changes in climate. In particular, electronic products suffer degradation through exposure to both temperature change and extremes. Plastics in particular expand and contract and this can lead to stress fracturing around screw bosses.

Thermal shock testing standards

Our machines can be used to perform the standard tests:

• IEC-60068-2-14

• MIL-STD-810

• MIL-STD-311

• MIL-STD-883

• MIL-STD-202

• DEF-STAN-00-35

• JEDEC

• ISTA & ASTM package conditioning

• Internal development standards

• Accelerated Life tests
