Herga Expands its Environmental Testing Capabilities.

Our technical capability has recently grown again at Herga Technology with the addition of our new Environmental test chamber.

This second chamber will allow Herga and our customers to test our products in the harsh environments that they are designed for, giving confidence in both the product and Herga’s technical capability.

About our Environmental Test Chamber

Our environmental test chamber is capable of testing many different products with sizes up to an envelope of 500mm x 500mm x 500mm. It has temperature capabilities from -40°C to over 180°C including humidity.

We can perform testing for customers that may fall outside the Technical Data sheet we provide and offer special products that meet challenging environmental conditions.

Mark Critchell – Snr Product Engineer says “Doubling our capacity for in-house environmental testing, allows Herga to keep pace with our own drive for rapid product development. Proving products are stable at the extremes of temperature and humidity early in the design cycle reduces time to market and gives our customers the confidence that all Herga products have been designed and tested to meet the needs of their demanding environments.”

In order to launch new products our engineers all take the lead in the planning and implementation of many different elements of the development gate cycle including; environmental testing, product validation and verification. Our team realised that investment in equipment would be of great benefit to everyone. Testing products is a vital part of the development process and provides more confidence in the products ability to perform in many environments.

Kate Sandlan – Sales Manager says “The new environmental test chamber is already proving to be very helpful to the sales team. We have recently had some customer specific requirements for temperature, life cycle and burst pressure information relating to customer specific test requirements that are outside of our standard parameters. The additional equipment enables us to complete this testing efficiently whilst still allowing internal testing to be on-going”
