Key Testing Services Offered

Sealed Housing Evaporative Determination (SHED) Testing

Our facilities include various SHED capacities from micro to SORE-sized, equipped with independent Flame Ionization Detectors (FIDs) and HVAC systems to prevent cross-contamination. Our tests cover both diurnal and isothermal conditions, capturing data second-by-second through custom software designed for optimal flexibility and accuracy.

Carbon Canister Testing

We boast 16 independent testing stations, providing comprehensive ORVR SHED and stand testing capabilities. These tests mimic real-life conditions using a pull versus push method, fully automated with vapor delivery systems.

ORVR Testing

Our labs feature ORVR capabilities with three independent SHEDs, including one macro and two microSHEDs. We conduct tests under extreme temperature scenarios, which are critical for thorough ORVR compliance testing.

Durability Testing

We conduct tests to assess drop/impact resistance, actuation/use cycles, temperature exposure, and life cycle durability. These evaluations are crucial for determining the long-term reliability and performance of SORE under various environmental conditions.
