Accredited Thermal Vacuum Testing Services in Southern California

March 1, 2024 Leave a comment

Environment Associates is your trusted source for Thermal Vacuum testing services since 1967. When you want to test your product for extreme space conditions, that include temperatures from 155°C to -175°C at space vacuum altitudes, Environment Associates is your solution. Using this test to determine the unique failures of space mechanisms that orbit the earth is key in improving system reliability. Thermal vacuum testing is similar to thermal cycling but adds deep space vacuums for detecting corona/arcing and intermittence and increases a product’s out-gassing. The key failure modes found during this test are: 1) electrical intermittence, 2) thermal control issues, 3) arcing, 4) corona, 5) material out-gassing, and more, to determine a product’s flight-worthiness for workmanship and processing issues.

We provide heating and cooling by direct contact through the use of a conductive chilling plate or the chamber’s shroud surface in our recently refurbished, State-of-the-Art thermal vacuum chambers.

We regularly meet the requirements of contractors such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, NASA JPL, Northrop Grumman and Astrium.
