Rain and ice pose a number of obvious challenges for planes, cars and other vehicles. Rigorous freezing rain tests should be done as part of any environmental testing program to meet both the RTCA DO-160 and other requirements and to offer the market a safer and more versatile product in general. EUROLAB, the solution partner of the aviation and defense industries, can help you achieve these goals.
Understanding the value of rain and freezing the rain test requires understanding the true extent of the risks posed by these conditions. There is no question that rain and freezing on aircraft structures and controls pose serious hazards to aviation. Freezing of precipitation adds weight, prevents movement of navigational mechanisms and increases friction. The rotor blades, blades and blades exposed to frozen folds and glaze accumulation show potential failure and disaster.
In ocean ships, frosting and freezing rain conditions hinder the performance of antennas, optical devices, meteorological instruments, and other upper-side equipment. The icing accumulated on the ships has the potential to decrease the balance of the ship by raising the center of gravity. The protective enclosure of any critical equipment that will be routinely left out in a harsh environment or subject to these conditions due to other system failures must be tested for the effects of frosting and freezing rain.
EUROLAB provides climate-based icing tests to various legal standards, and we adapt our tests to the conditions foreseen throughout the life of the product. We can also evaluate the defrosting methods and sort the effectiveness for your application.
While we can help you bring your product to international markets or address engineering challenges at home, our team can develop a comprehensive testing program that explains all possible environmental conditions. Ice and freezing rain tests are important components of this, but we can also perform repetitive tests that repeat hail effect, extreme humidity, rapid temperature changes and other factors. When combined media testing is required, we develop the most accurate and efficient sequence to minimize costs and reduce cycle times.
Regardless of your application-specific testing requirements, it is clear to have your product or component tested for ice and rain. Predicting the problems posed by these conditions allows you to generate solutions early in the product development cycle and avoid costly last minute changes.
As a result, we can quickly test projects with complex requirements. You can contact us to learn more about how EUROLAB can help you meet your icing and freezing rain testing needs.
