Simulated Environment and Accelerated Weathering

Southern Research has extensive experience conditioning materials and components to simulate representative service environments. Facilities include small-scale to walk-in size chambers for temperature and humidity control. Specialized conditioning chambers can handle cryogenic temperatures to inert environments over 5000°F. Vibration simulations at temperature are also available with our onsite 1200 lb, single axis shaker-table facility. Larger shaker facilities are available off-site.

Capabilities include:

• Long-term Aging Studies
• Temperature/Humidity Cycling of Parts and Systems
• Vibration Simulation at Temperatures Ranging from -40C to 150C
• Saltwater Corrosion Testing *
• Coatings Evaluation *
• Cyclic Saltwater Fog Testing and Interpretation*

* Indicates this capability is available through a partner laboratory (MME).
