Rapid Change Temperature Testing, also known as Thermal Shock Testing or Temperature Cycling, is designed to evaluate a product’s ability to withstand sudden temperature fluctuations. This test simulates the rapid transition from one extreme temperature to another, which products may experience during transport, operation, or environmental exposure.
Detects thermal fatigue and material stress points.
Exposes potential failures in solder joints, plastic housings, adhesives, and composite materials.
Validates design integrity for electronics, automotive parts, aerospace components, and consumer goods.
Ensures compliance with international quality standards.
The IEC 60068-2-14 is an international testing standard that defines procedures for environmental testing, specifically for changes in temperature. It outlines parameters such as temperature range, change rate, and dwell times, ensuring consistent and comparable results.
