Environmental testing

Heat, cold, humidity, rapid temperature variation, saline atmosphere… test your industrial products in specific and multiple environmental conditions to measure their resistance and their behavior in the environment.

The 6NAPSE Group brings its expertise in the field of material aging through accelerated testing. This skill is associated with our expertise in failure and characterization of materials.

The aging of the materials of a structure or a system is the evolution over time of their properties.

In product life, manufacturers observe failures during their exposure to a specific environment of extreme temperatures (hot-cold), high humidity, sudden changes in temperature or even a saline environment.

As part of product validation, it is therefore necessary to test the product to avoid any mechanical deformation of the parts, change in characteristics and properties, appearance of appearance defects (blistering, cracking, hardening, rust, etc.).

Climatic testing

The 6NAPSE Group has skills for carrying out specific tests. We carry out tests according to customer specifications:

Durability check
Qualification of a surface treatment
Detection of areas sensitive to degradation

Testing the product in a damp heat test makes it possible, through the temperature-humidity combination, to verify the impact of oxidation or corrosion phenomena, the swelling of materials, the delamination of composites, as well as changes in insulation characteristics. thermal and electrical…

Our environmental tests

Environmental constraints

Sunlight (time of year, altitude, etc.)
Temperature (seasonal cycles, etc.)
Humidity (ambient humidity, rain, dew, etc.)
Saline atmosphere
Pressure
Mechanical constraints (traction, compression, etc.)

Our climatic chambers can be combined with mechanical and hydraulic equipment to carry out combined tests on vibrations, mechanical stress, endurance, fatigue, etc.
