HALT Testing
Delserro Engineering Solutions, Inc. of Easton, Pennsylvania
performs the rigorous reliability evaluation known as HALT testing
for companies within the commercial, industrial and military sectors.
Delserro Engineering uses HALT HASS and other test methods for
our clients that seek to improve overall product reliability,
warranty costs, and customer satisfaction.
HALT - Highly Accelerated Life Testing
HALT testing is used to find product design weaknesses
making the product more rugged.
HASS - Highly Accelerated Stress Screening
HASS testing is used to find defects and flaws in production
to monitor the quality and consistency of your manufacturing
processes.
What is HALT testing?
HALT testing is a rigorous and intensive method used to expose
and then improve design and process weaknesses.
HALT testing is faster, less expensive and
more effective than traditional testing techniques. HALT testing
is a proven process used to lower product development costs, compress
time to market, reduce warranty costs, improve customer satisfaction,
gain market share and increase profits. Some companies have reported
savings in the millions after using HALT and HASS testing.
HALT testing can accelerate a product's aging process from actual
months into test minutes much faster than
traditional testing by taking advantage of rapid thermal cycling
and broadband random vibration to quickly determine electronic
design weaknesses. High temperature ramp rates of 60 °C/minute
combined with random, six degrees of freedom vibration is available
for maximum screening effectiveness.
Delserro Engineering 's HALT testing capability can help:
- Design in more reliability.
- Shorten the design cycle.
- Reduce warrantee costs.
- Increase profits.
Our 30 cubic foot HALT / HASS testing chamber can apply:
- Temperatures from -100°C to +200°C (-148°F to
+392°F).
- Temperatures can be raised or lowered up to 60 °C (140°F)
per minute.
- Vibration input levels up to 60 Grms with six degrees of freedom.
- Additional loads such as electrical, fluid pressure, etc.
can be applied to parts inside the chamber simultaneously with
temperature and vibration.
