Before being used, the materials must be tested to verify their structural and functional stability in relation to the environment. In order to reach the aim, the conditions under which they will perform their activities are recreated in laboratory.
The test aims to verify the mechanical and electric effects caused by sand and dust on an apparatus.
POLMANTEO has got a room for the resistance test to dust and sand, built by BIEMME (mod. TR1000), with the following features:
- Internal useful volume: 1 m3
- Temperature range: from +18 to +45° C
- Humidity range: from the environment to 0%
- Wind speed: from 1.5 to 8.9 m per second
The relevant laws are: FINABEL 2C-10 and MIL-STD-810F.
