Environmental testing facilities at Cranage EMC and Safety

15 June 2021 | Cranage EMC & Safety Ltd

Environmental testing facilities at Cranage EMC and Safety

As well as EMC and product safety testing, we have an extensive suite of Environmental test facilities at Cranage EMC and Safety.

We are unique in that all of our facilities are located in one location, which means that your product can undergo a complete range of testing without having to be moved around different locations, and therefore our engineers understand the product and any challenges that may have happened along the way.

Environmental testing is utilised to ensure that your product can withstand corrosive and extreme conditions that it may be exposed to in its lifetime. Our test facilities replicate a wide variety of environmental stresses and climatic conditions that may occur, such as humidity, salt spray and solar radiation. We can also add operational requirements, such as pneumatic operation.
We have the following environmental chambers:

Humidity and temperature. At Cranage, we have the capability to test from 20% to 98% rh combined with a range of temperatures from -70°C to +180°C. Extreme temperatures can make materials brittle or cause expansion and contraction, and therefore potential product failure.

Solar radiation. This simulates the deteriorating effects of UV sunlight on a product and measures how it changes during exposure.

Salt spray. This is a testing method using high saline solution to test resistance of materials and surface coatings to corrosion over a period of time. The chamber can be adjusted to reflect different environments

Shock and vibration. This testing is used to replicate either random vibration, typically seen in transport, or sudden shock that may damage products.

At Cranage EMC and Safety, we are also able to offer Ingress Protection (IP) testing as part of our environmental testing facilities. IP testing is used to test the resistance of products to infiltration from water, dust and foreign objects.

Testing is carried out in accordance with IEC/EN 60529, a standard for which Cranage is UKAS accredited. Our accreditation gives manufacturers assurance of impartial, accurate and reliable testing and results.
