Susceptibility Testing | Ingress protection testing | Envitest Laboratories Pvt. Ltd
Contamination & Ingress:
In real-world use, products are exposed to a variety of chemicals on a daily basis. Fluid susceptibility testing evaluates how much damage is done by exposure to liquids, and how product design can help prevent failures by fluid contamination. Because most fluid contamination is caused by chemical spills or temporary exposure, our test methods are designed to replicate actual conditions as much as possible.
The Fluid Contamination (also known as Contamination by Fluids or Fluids Susceptibility) Testing process involves testing items in many different fluids in order to determine the possible breakdown of materials or coatings, which may occur during an item’s service life.
Envitest Lab provides fluid compatibility testing to a number of recognized industry standards and designs custom protocols to meet your specifications. Envitest Lab has dedicated testing chambers for acidic, Neutral, and base solutions available in order to evaluate equipment under test, as required by Military, automotive and commercial standards.
Our chambers can test to the following fluid types:
Cleaning fluids
Coolant dielectric fluids
De-icing/Anti-freeze fluids
Disinfectants
Fire extinguishants
Fuels
Hydraulic fluids
Insecticides
Lubricating oils
Solvents
Ingress Protection (IP) Testing:
Ingress Protection testing, or IP testing, determines a product’s susceptibility to solid particle ingress (sand or dust) as well as water ingress.
Envitest environmental simulation labs provide IP testing to specifications including JSS 55555, RTCA-DO-160 (avionics), MIL-STD’s (military), IEC/IS/EN 60529 & NEMA (electronics), as well as DIN and SAE standards (automotive). The Ingress Protection standard we most commonly test to is BS EN/IEC 60529.
Envitest Lab utilizes calibrated IP testing equipment, including immersion tanks, nozzles and dust specific to the IP rating required. Utilizing purpose built, walk-in test chambers, we are also able to test on very large
