Materials
The industry accepted "standard" specification for salt spray exposure Testing.
ASTM B117
This standard is a group of environmental test methods that is widely used by the US military and commercial companies for products designed for an aerospace function
MIL-STD-810
RF is an abbreviation for this type of testing
Radio Frequency
E&L is an abbreviation for this type of analytical testing
This test is primarily used for basic plastics material identification
FTIR
This is the primary difference between thermal shock and thermal cycling
Temperature ramp rate
-Thermal shock is almost immediate- two chambers used
-Thermal cycling is a longer duration change- one chamber used
GMW specifications are testing approval methods developed by this major automotive manufacturer.
General Motors
This Pharma lab specializes in compliance type testing, including, RoHS, REACH, and California Prop 65
Santa Fe Springs
LECO combustion analysis is used to test primarily for these 5 elements
Carbon, Sulfur, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen
Element Jupiter is the only lab within the Element network for this specific poultry based aerospace test.
Bird strike
This certification is considered the minimum safety requirements for workplaces and equipment used in explosive atmospheres.
ATEX
This location of Element specializes in disinfectants testing.
Eagan
This is the coldest temperature that liquid nitrogen can be used for charpy impact testing. Beyond that, liquid Helium is required
-325F
Random vibration spreads energy randomly across a frequency spectrum, while this type of vibration testing focuses energy into a sharp point at a single frequency.
sinusoidal
This is found on objects that have been assessed by the manufacturer and deemed to meet EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements
CE Marking
ELEMENT DAILY DOUBLE:
This is Element's purpose
Making tomorrow safer than today
This location of Element is considered the Center of Excellence for Aerosols testing
Midland
This is the primary difference between HALT and HASS testing in terms of the product lifecycle stage
HALT is performed during the development stage, HASS is performed during the manufacturing stage and otherwise prior to shipment and sale.
Salt spray is a consistent exposure method, while this exposure method is considered a more realistic way exposure method, and uses a mixture of wet and dry cycles. Primarily used for Automotive type applications
Cyclic corrosion
GLP, CPC, and GMP are all acronyms for what lab accreditations/regulations
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)
