Environmental testing laboratories
Reproducing extreme environmental conditions is essential to determine the reliability and performance of a vehicle. Climatic chambers are capable of controlling various environmental parameters, such as temperature and humidity, radiation level, corrosion, among others, enabling accelerated ageing to be carried out in the laboratory.
In CTAG's environmental testing laboratories we have experience in the management of complete validations, on automotive components, subsystems or complete vehicles.
Some of our laboratory services are:
- Cyclic tests of temperature and humidity combined with radiation and reproduction of the effects of external agents
- Solar radiation tests combined with temperature, humidity, fatigue, and other variables
- Corrosion tests
- Light ageing tests (Weather-Ometer)
- Thermal shock tests with sudden temperature changes on components
- Tests combined with vibration ageing
- Durability studies under specific climatic conditions
- Environmental stability and uniformity studies in temperature, humidity and radiation
- Collaboration in projects for the development of new materials for the automotive sector, studies on different sources of infrared radiation, etc.
