The fundamentals of climate testing

Goals

The objectives of the training The fundamentals of climate testing :

- Raise participants' awareness of realistic and relevant perceptions of different physical orders of magnitude.
- Conduct and analyse a test campaign.
- Optimise test design and execution.

The aim of this training course is to:

• Use the physical quantities of a structure's climatic environment


• Determine the measurement and test methods according to the programme


• Understand the requirements of test standards


• Participate in the performance of climatic tests


• Analyse test results

Program

1/ Clarify the fundamentals
Revisit physical quantities and their reality
Illustrate the concepts of temperature, pressure and humidity coupling


2/ Identify testing methods.
Interpret the capacities and performance of different chambers.
Select measurement sensors based on the climatic constraints of the test.


3/ Understand the requirements of standards
Present the different types of tests (dry and humid heat, salt spray, depressions, thermal shocks, etc.) and their objectives


4/ Monitor and analyse a test campaign
Know the parameters required to carry out the tests: equipment and facilities
Understand the management strategy: limitations, constraints
Analyse the results of measurements and anomalies in the equipment, based on specific cases
