Sand & Dust Testing
Products with moving parts, electromechanical components, filtering systems and electronics are all susceptible to fine and large particle dust that can contaminate a product. These contaminates can cause premature failures and loss of function.
Today’s test plans for phones, computers, vehicles, enclosures and aircraft include sand and dust testing to determine if this stress source would cause functional deterioration.
Our services include military and automotive dust testing for both blowing and agitated dust and sand. These test plans include:
- MIL-STD 810
- SAE J1455
- SAE J-575
- RTCA DO-160
- IEC Ingress Protection (IP) tests for the protection against solid foreign objects
We provide customized test plans for products that include dust with humidity during functional cyclic durability testing. These tests are great for exterior components that are exposed to combined conditions.
