Rain Test

The sample to be tested is exposed to rain effect under normal conditions. The performance of the sample is monitored during or at the end of the test, the errors emerging are recorded if there are any. Tests can be performed in accordance with any military and civil standards which are compatible with the technical specifications of climatization chambers. Tests can be performed in accordance with MIL-STD-810G Method 506.5 which is especially within the operation area. 

The test is applied to obtain information about especially below mentioned subjects: 

1. To determine performance of protective covering, boxes, and sealant materials.
2. To determine performance of the devices or materials while and after being exposed to water,
3. To determine the physical deterioration because of rain,
4. To determine to what extend the package fulfils its duty for packed devices. Apart from these application areas, rain test can be applied for all materials and systems which are exposed to rain effect under working conditions.

Any kind of sample with suitable physical specifications (dimensions/weight) could be tested. Different types of test chambers with different dimensions are used to perform the test.
