A Primer for HAST: Highly Accelerated Stress Testing

The HAST acronym stands for Highly Accelerated Temperature/Humidity Stress Test and is sometimes shortened to Highly Accelerated Stress Testing. HAST makes use of accelerated temperature and humidity conditions to precipitate failures which could be caused by long term exposure to humid environments. HAST has been developed to replace Temperature-Humidity-Bias (THB) testing which has typical conditions …

Accelerated Temperature Humidity Testing Using the Arrhenius-Peck Relationship

Humidity Testing can be used to accelerate the aging of products that are affected by ambient humidity levels. Increasing the humidity above the normal use level humidity can cause defects or failures to occur in shorter times than what would be observed in the field.  Humidity testing is most commonly performed along with testing at …

Acceleration Testing Using a Centrifuge

Acceleration Testing (sometimes called Constant Acceleration Testing) applies a constant or steady inertial load to a product.  Constant acceleration testing is performed to verify that components can withstand exposure from inertial stresses such as would be experienced in aircraft, missiles, etc.
