Rugged equipment qualification testing

MIL-STD-810 environmental testing for rugged equipment

MIL-STD-810 is used to evaluate how equipment withstands environmental stresses expected during storage, transport and operation. A CASCADE programme brings the relevant methods together in a controlled sequence so the product can be assessed after cumulative exposure rather than as disconnected tests.

Resonate Testing supports environmental programmes covering vibration, shock, altitude, temperature, humidity, rain and water ingress, sand and dust, salt fog, fluid contamination and related qualification evidence.

  • Tailored test planning: methods, procedures and severities are selected from the equipment’s life-cycle environmental profile.

  • Connected evidence: inspections and functional checks are built into the sequence to show condition before, between and after exposures.

  • Practical engineering support: fixture, instrumentation, safety and reporting requirements are reviewed before hardware reaches the lab.

Thermal cycling

Repeatedly moving the test item between defined hot and cold temperatures to reveal issues such as expansion, contraction, fatigue or changing operating conditions.
