Acceleration testing measures the stress of increasing gravity loads on aerospace fasteners, components and equipment. ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ uses high-powered centrifuges to simulate real-world flight conditions, anticipating failures before they become disasters.
Acceleration Testing with Centrifuges
To military and industry standards, including MIL-STD-810 and RTCA DO-160
Mainly used by the aerospace industry, acceleration testing applies g-force loads to components and equipment destined for in-flight use. ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ uses varying forces and speeds to recreate significant changes in gravitational force, including altitude changes, and crash scenarios.
During testing, our engineers will check for structural issues, such as material deflection, fastener failure, and hardware malfunction. For projects with more complex requirements, our labs can support operational testing conditions, including issues with flow and pressure regulation.
