Temperature shock tests

Testing extreme changes safely

Cold starts in winter, direct sunlight or rapid immersion in liquids - abrupt temperature changes are part of everyday life for many products. We use temperature shock tests to simulate these scenarios in a practical and standard-compliant manner in order to reliably detect weak points.

Temperature shock tests - realistic and reproducible

The endurance test for materials and connections

Abrupt changes in temperature place a particularly high strain on materials, seals and electronic components. With temperature shock tests in accordance with international standards, we ensure how your products react under extreme alternating conditions. Our systems enable both air temperature shocks and liquid tests - practical and tailored to your requirements.

Resistance to extreme fluctuations

Examinations at a glance

Air temperature shock (two-chamber & damper exchange system)

Temperature ranges: -70°Cto +240°C
Changeover times <10secondsbetween chambers
Synchronous change of the cooling circuit on the test specimen side in <10 seconds - significantly reduced through-tempering and total run times
Freely definable dwell times per zone

Temperature shock through immersion & splash water

Rapid immersion of hot test specimens in cold (0°C) salt water
Simulation of sudden temperature changes under liquid contact
Immersion tank with a volume of approx. 8 m³
Large-volume splash water chambers with thermal impact

Individual adaptations

We combine temperature shock tests with additional loads such as vibration or electrical function tests. Thanks to flexible test environments and customized adaptations, you receive meaningful results that precisely reflect your operating conditions. Our tests are carried out in accordance with international standards and OEM specifications, including IEC 60068-2-14, ISO 16750-x, VW 80000 - reproducible and reliable in terms of documentation.

An endurance test of environmental simulation

Thermal shocks reveal weak points

Thermal shock tests are a central component of our environmental simulation. They show how components and systems react under abrupt loads - and enable targeted optimization in development and quality assurance. We also combine thermal shock tests with other environmental influences in order to simulate realistic operating conditions.
