AECTP 230-1 Standard Test Method for Climatic Conditions

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of AECTP 230-1 test. AECTP 230 complements, strengthens and expands the information previously contained in STANAG 2895 by identifying the potentially damaging effects of natural and induced environmental conditions on material and providing guidance on the selection of appropriate test methods.

AECTP 230-1 Standard Test Method for Climatic Conditions

The AECTP 230 brochure series is organized around classes of material elements. Leaflets focus on the effects of the natural environment or the action or process in which the environments experienced by material items are altered by environmental factors, platforms or other material items that surround them. These brochures are not intended to be comprehensive. When used in conjunction with the AECTP 100 and 300 (and other relevant sources of information), these brochures provide information on climatic conditions that will enable a comprehensive and cost-effective set of environmental tests (type approval or qualification) to be selected, formulated. conducted in response to the environmental and related requirements of the project.

The purpose of the AECTP 230 brochure series is to present data examples and characteristics of natural and induced climatic conditions affecting material design. For the purpose of this standard, induced climatic conditions are ambient environmental conditions resulting from the alteration of natural climatic conditions due to the structure on which the material is used or used.

AECTP-230 does not address all environments resulting from accident, hostile conditions or nuclear effects.

Brochure 231 provides general guidance on the types and causes of natural and adapted climatic environments and provides insights applicable to a variety of material types and platforms.

Included evoked environments are:

  • temperature (including solar radiation);
  • Moisture;
  • Air pressure;
  • hydrostatic pressure;
  • ice cover;
  • Dust and Sand;
  • Wetting;
  • Erosion by Impact.

Section 230 should be consulted before referring to other brochures in AECTP-231.

Chapters 232 to 239 cover the different situations in which material can be found and follow a standard format. For each state, the characteristics of the relevant evoked environments are described for each set of states that may be valid. The potentially harmful effects of these environments are described and advice is given on the choice of test methods and severity.
