COTEC can carry out a wide range of environmental tests in accordance with Mil-Standard 810, and by extension Def-Standard 00-35.
High Altitude Chamber
The High-Altitude Test Facility is a 100m³ test chamber that can be depressurised to around 6kPa. A wide range of energetic and non-explosive items can be tested in this chamber with the provision to power CCTV cameras to monitor the events in real time within the chamber.
Explosive Atmosphere Chamber
Also situated at the High-Altitude Test Facility is a smaller chamber with a total length of 4.4m and a diameter of 0.7m. This chamber is in a modular configuration that can split into smaller sections to fit our customers’ requirements.
