Almost all technical parts and components are exposed to environmental influences such as climatic conditions, solar radiation, mechanical vibrations and many other environmental conditions during their application in the field. Often even several (combined) environmental influences act simultaneously on the component during the final application. Carefully tailored, combined test methods can help to detect possible material damage or design-related weak points in the development phase and to rule them out for the subsequent application.
The know-how of the environmental testing laboratory of cetecom advanced GmbH covers a broad testing and certification sector in many industries, such as automotive, aviation, maritime and medical.
The environmental testing center of cetecom advanced is accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 and offers a range of state-of-the-art test equipment to test the durability, long-term behavior and aging effects of a product under various simulated conditions.
We perform testing according to international standards or customer-specific standards, which include the standards of many automotive manufacturers. Our environmental simulation testing services include a variety of disciplines.
cetecom advanced offers customized temperature and climate testing according to various standards:
Our temperature and climatic test chambers can accommodate test specimens of a wide range of sizes and masses.
The following are the key data for our temperature and climate test equipment:
This test, primarily used in the automotive sector, simulates a thermal shock caused by ice water on components that are attached to the vehicle in splash water areas. The purpose of this test is the investigation of the resistance to stress cracking in the material but also to seal failure caused by different temperature expansion coefficients under thermal stress.
Test scope:
Test facility features:
Testing according to the following standard:
Our laboratory is equipped with several electrodynamic vibration test systems with different power levels. We simulate, among other things, transport conditions of different freight routes, effects of engine speeds on the end product or earthquake scenarios.
We offer these tests according to the following standards:
taking into account the following parameters:
Vibration
Shock
We also offer all of the above test scenarios with climate or temperature overlay if required.
Our crash test stand is located in a fire-protected area and is used for mechanical shock tests with large pulse durations on test specimens with increased hazard potential, e.g. battery systems for electromobility and airbags. Test specimens with a mass of up to 600 kg and speeds of up to 70 km/h and a maximum of 60 times the acceleration due to gravity can be tested there. Among other things, we comply with the ECE R 100 regulations, taking into account the following parameters:
The corrosion behavior of metallic materials or coating systems can be simulated in the corrosion test chambers of cetecom advanced GmbH.
Test facility features:
The following corrosion tests are carried out in our labs:
Our vacuum chamber allows altitude simulations at reduced air pressure.
Tests according to the following standards:
Within the scope of IP protection class testing, cetecom advanced GmbH tests parts and components of any kind against access to dangerous parts, against solid foreign bodies and against water.
Testing of protection against different types of water according to valid standards:
Testing of protection against access to dangerous parts and against dust with different types of dust according to IP1X-6X:
Almost all parts and components are exposed to the sun and resulting thermal loads during their service life and must withstand corresponding radiation influences. Among other things, solar simulation is used to determine the aging behavior of materials under different types of radiation.
Test facility features:
Artificial weathering can be performed according to the following standards:
Chemical resistance testing is used to determine the resistance of components, devices or their material constituents to test liquids.
Test scope:
Tests according to the following standards:
Forces impacting on the test specimen in the course of crash, shock or vibration tests, whose movements cannot be detected by the human eye, we will be pleased to record for you using a high-speed camera with the following parameters:
