Specializing in Extreme Testing Environments

   Thermal Shock Testing


Electromechanical and electronic components used in aerospace, avionics, and military applications must not only survive but reliably operated in environments that experience extreme and sudden changes in temperature.  A component's ability to tolerate and reliably perform in alternating extremes of low and high temperatures is paramount to the safety and success of conventional to mission-critical operations.  OTS provides thermal shock testing in accordance with the  industry standard temperature range of -40°C to +85°C to a full military standard temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Thermal Test System

OTS utilizes two specially equipped bench-top environmental chambers that provide temperature cycling and conditioning options to validate the reliability of the most sophisticated electronics, sensors and component parts in extreme temperature conditions.  Our two chamber (air-to-air) thermal cycling system allows for a less than one minute transfer time between hot and cold chambers.  For slower cycling rates, our one chamber system has a temperature range from -70°C to +200°C with a temperature cycling rate from 5 to 20°C per minute. All cycling and conditioning tests are programmable with our highly accurate temperature controller giving customers the testing flexibility and accuracy needed for multiple ramp and target set points.
