Altitude, Pressure & Rapid Decompression Testing.

Melbourne testing lab now expanded to include Low-pressure altitude and Rapid decompression testing.

Introduction

Low pressure (altitude) test is to determine if materials can withstand or operate in a low-pressure environment or withstand rapid pressure changes.

This test is likely to be applicable to materials:

• stored or operated at high ground elevation sites.
• transported or operated in pressurized or unpressurized areas of aircraft.
• exposed to rapid or explosive decompression and, if so, to determine if its failure will damage the aircraft. or present a hazard to personnel.
• carried externally on aircraft.

Equipment specifications:

• Static Low Pressure: as low as 5kPa (Absolute pressure), 21,000-meter height.
• Chamber temperature: -70°C ~ +180°C.
• Rapid decompression test < 15 seconds.
