Equipment
Assured Testing Services maintains multiple cabinets conforming
to ASTM B117 continuously and additional multiple cabinets for
alternative salt spray tests such as TSH1552G. Multiple PLC programmable
Singleton chambers
are available for standard cyclic tests such as GM 9540P
or customer designated cyclic tests. Two thermal chambers are
available for cyclic testing and thermal shock that require freeze
capability. These chambers can operate at -65 C to 170 C with
humidity available as well (20-95% relative humidity). A Kesternich
or sulfur dioxide chamber is available for acid rain simulation.
Parts of various sizes can be accommodated in the chamber. Parts
often go into the cabinet the same day received. Upon test completion,
parts are evaluated and test reports generated quickly.
Coating and Plating thickness can be measured with two different
non-destructive methods. A Magnetic Induction device and X-ray
Spectrometer are available depending on the type of paint.
Assured Testing Services utilizes many methods to determine the
adhesion of coatings, plating, or paints to substrates. These
include but are not limited to various tape strengths, taber abrasion,
cross hatch, scribes, knife, etc. Also, a taber abrasion devise
is available for testing coating and substrates such as plastic,
rubber and fabric.
Assured Testing Services utilizes RS Technologies equipment for
measuring torque/tension.
