Testing Disciplines
Altitude
| AECO has various size facilities capable of simulating altitudes from below sea level to space conditions. Altitude Testing is used to evaluate products likely to be: | |
 |
 Stored and/or operated
at high ground elevation sites. |
| Transported or
operated in an aircraft. |
|
| Exposed to a rapid or
explosive decompression. |
|
| Carried externally on
an aircraft. |
|
| A missile component. |
|
| Typical Compact Altitude Chamber | Installed on a
satellite. |
| Effects of Low Pressure Environments | |
| Thermal Effects | |
| Overheating of
materiel due to reduced heat transfer. |
|
| Physical/Chemical | |
| Leakage of gases or
fluids from gasket-sealed enclosures. |
|
| Deformation, rupture
or explosion of sealed containers. |
|
| Change in physical and
chemical properties of low-density materials. |
|
| Evaporation of
lubricants. |
|
| Erratic starting and
operation of engines. |
|
| Failure of hermetic
seals. |
|
| Electrical | |
| Erratic operation or
malfunction of materiel resulting from arcing or corona. |
