Design Validation

Tec Air offers a variety of design validation testing. The Tec Center labs are equipped for Life, Endurance, and Reliablity Testing.

HALT/HAAS
Highly Accelerated Life Test (HALT) and Highly Accelerated Stress Screen (HASS) combine extremes of temperature, temperature change, and multi-axis vibration to rapidly expose design weaknesses and process flaws. The HALT step stress process quickly detects inherent design weaknesses, allowing easier incorporation of design changes and thus shortening overall development time. HASS, a screen of your manufactured goods, ensures that your products are defect free. By subjecting your product to stresses far exceeding those in the field, HALT/HASS in effect accelerates time. You enter the market much sooner - with more mature and more reliable product - than traditional testing methods might allow.

Life Testing
- On/Off Cycling of assemblies at operating static pressures
- On/Off Cycling of assemblies in a controlled environment
Endurance Testing
- High/ Low static pressure cycling of assemblies in simulated operating conditions.
-Temperature and Humidity Cycling

Reliability Testing
- Non-Destructive Testing
--Life Testing in total environmental control
--Airflow testing up to 4000 CFM
--Virbration signature and analysis
--Sound analysis using A to B comparisons

- Destructive Testing
--
Overspeed/ Burst Testing. Parts are accelerated up to 18,000 RPM or the piont of failure.
--Gardner Impact Testing. Parts are impacted in controlled environments while force and displacements are monitored.
