Environmental Testing Laboratory in Orlando, FL
From solar cells that are exposed to harsh sunlight to satellite components that must endure drastic thermal fluctuations, scores of products are expected to perform in some of the most challenging environmental conditions imaginable. For businesses that design, develop and manufacture these products, there is absolutely no substitute for the comprehensive environmental simulation testing offered by our certified testing laboratory in Orlando.
Environmental testing can ensure that products meet with all relevant contract and regulatory requirements, such as MIL-STD-810 for military items. In addition, it can help manufacturers distinguish themselves with best-in-class products. Armed with the data needed to recognize flaws and weaknesses early in a product’s R&D phase, manufacturers can bring more robust products to the market. This enhances both the credibility and marketability of the item — as well as the company behind it.
NTS’s laboratory in Orlando, FL, offers temperature, humidity, altitude, rapid decompression, thermal vacuum, explosive atmosphere, solar heating effects, thermal shock, blowing sand, blowing dust, blowing rain, and salt fog. We can also operate controls such as buttons, switches and joysticks in harsh environmental conditions hostile to human presence, and can offer more detailed manipulation via a Motoman SV3 Robot.
Dynamics Testing Laboratory in Orlando, FL
From acceleration and mechanical shock testing (free-fall and shaker) to transportation simulation to drop testing and vibration testing, this facility can do it all. NTS Orlando also maintains a U.S. Navy certified lightweight hammer shock machine capable of accommodating the associated MIL-S-901D testing requirements. NTS Orlando is accredited by the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) as a Certified Testing Laboratory for package testing procedures 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 2A and 2B.
