Temperature tests - Import export

Environmental testing covers a wide range of pressures that your product may be subject to and we can simulate different climatic conditions to show weaknesses in design. Testing will allow you to demonstrate your product can be used in any conditions that it may be exposed to. Whether your product is for the food industry and will be exposed to high pressure cleaning, a light to be used outdoors or forms part of equipment that will be used in an environment where the ambient temperature is higher than in the UK, we can help. Some examples of tests are listed, but this is not an exhaustive list so please get in touch if you need to discuss your requirements: Water and Dust Ingress Salt Spray Shock and vibration Temperature and Humidity UV (Solar Radiation) simulation We are UKAS accredited for some environmental testing, giving manufacturers assurance of reliability, accuracy and consistency

Our team have years of experience in several sectors and our extensive facilities include: Emissions and Immunity, Electrical Product Safety, EMF (Occupational Health and Product Safety), Environmental Protection including Salt Spray, Water and Dust Ingress and Vibration, Materials testing- including flammability, Temperature and Humidity. Our purpose built facilities are all in one location, meaning we do not outsource your testing to other companies. If your equipment is large or in-situ we are able to offer testing at your premises. Get in touch with our team to discuss your EMC, Safety and Environmental testing requirements

With our HPT heat pump test bench you can simulate humidity as well as temperature. The test stand is used for functional testing of air-to-water heat pumps according to DIN EN 14511. Current test systems on the market, which are used to test e.g. air-to-water heat pumps, are climatic chambers with a cooling, heating and humidification unit fixed to the roof. The disadvantage of this concept is that it is not possible to set a homogeneous temperature and humidity distribution in the cube-shaped room. Based on test engineering concepts in the automotive industry, EP-E developed a concept in which the air flows in a closed loop (loop design). The HPT heat pump test stand is a closed-loop test stand for functional testing of air-to-water heat pumps according to DIN EN 14511. The advantageous closed-loop design uses an insulated chamber with conditioning units for temperature and humidity outside the chamber.

The EP endurance test benches are used to test various components over a defined cycle for durability, e.g. temperature and pressure cycle tests. A high series quality requires precision and reliability. Operational and endurance tests are necessary in order to be able to demonstrably guarantee high quality. In the form of selection or random sampling tests, components are tested for fatigue and wear by means of load tests, for example under pressure and temperature changes. The tests are used for endurance stress testing of various materials and products with different pressure curves and temperatures. We build test benches according to your requirements: e.g. for long-term or short-term tests, under static or pulsating test conditions and depending on other factors. Present us your requirements!

Protecting your people, workplaces, business and the environment from an explosion, fire or other combustible dust hazard relies on the identification, mitigation and maintenance of combustible dusts. Sigma-HSE’s ISO 17025 accredited combustible dust testing laboratory offer comprehensive testing solutions with a 7-10 day turnaround to aid you in the identification and characterisation of your hazardous materials and their related risks to combustible dust explosions. We undertake the following combustible dust tests to simulate a primary dust explosion, secondary dust explosion and/or dust ignition: Dust Combustibility (Group A/B) Minimum Ignition Energy (MIE) Minimum Ignition Temperature (MIT) Layer Ignition Temperature (LIT) Explosion Severity Test (Pmax/KST) ST Classification Minimum Explosive Concentration (MEC) Limiting Oxygen Concentration (LOC) Burning Behaviour
