Environmental Testing

At Element Tempe, our capabilities extend to replicating the most intricate conditions encountered on Earth and in space. We are equipped to recreate specific scenarios to ascertain that your product delivers optimal performance in its intended operational setting. Whether it’s simulating the drastic thermal changes that a satellite component will face or the worst-case decompression event that a piece of avionics equipment might experience, our test equipment has you covered. We cater to an expansive array of products, ensuring they are robust enough to thrive even in the most rigorous conditions.

EMI/EMC Testing

Element Tempe provides world-class electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing services so your time from design to market is as efficient as possible.

Dynamics Testing

To ensure your products can withstand the extended forces caused by random and sine vibrations - as well as the intense short-term forces from shocks, drops, and accelerations—there is no substitute for comprehensive dynamics testing.
