Climatic cycle testing involves evaluating the resistance of materials and components to cyclic climatic and temperature change stress. The test simulates extreme climatic conditions over a vehicle’s lifespan \u2013 from arctic cold to tropical heat. <\/p>\n
Samples are exposed to cyclically changing temperatures and humidity:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Temperature range:<\/strong> typically \u221240 \u00b0C to +120 \u00b0C Evaluation: Cracking, color change, gloss change, deformation, functional testing.<\/p>\n The following table shows all OEM-specific standards for climatic cycle testing covered by the ASO Laboratory:<\/p>\n Years of vehicle use under extreme climatic conditions: frost in winter, heat in summer, tropical humidity, significant temperature fluctuations. The cyclic stress accelerates aging processes such as cracking and embrittlement. <\/p>\n Typically \u221240 \u00b0C to +80\/+120 \u00b0C, depending on the installation location. Engine compartment parts are subjected to higher stress than interior parts. Heating and cooling rates are standardized to ensure reproducible results. <\/p>\n Between 5 and 30 cycles, depending on OEM requirements and component class. A cycle typically lasts 12\u201324 hours. The total test duration can be several weeks. <\/p>\n The ASO Laboratory conducts climatic cycle testing according to all common OEM standards. Our DAkkS accreditation according to DIN EN ISO\/IEC 17025 guarantees standard-compliant results. <\/p>\n Contact us<\/strong> for a quote \u2013 we will advise you on optimal sample planning and test scope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is Climatic Cycle Testing?
