Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) Testing

Elements' testing capabilities cover electronic components and systems across military, aerospace, and consumer sectors. From individual circuit boards to complete assemblies, we validate performance under real-world conditions to identify and eliminate potential defects before deployment. Our comprehensive approach helps reduce defects across your product's entire lifespan. 

Testing capabilities include: 

• Complete electronic assemblies 

• Military and defense equipment 

• Aerospace components 

• Consumer electronic products 

• Industrial control systems 

Our ESS program ensures efficient and effective validation for both military and civilian applications. By combining multiple environmental stress factors in unified test procedures, we maximize efficiency while maintaining rigorous standards for safety and performance verification. 

At Element, some of the conditions we test include: 

• Vibration (5-5,000 Hz) 

• Shock (up to 50g with 6 degrees of freedom) 

• High temperature and low temperature (-100°C to 200°C) 

• Altitude 

• Humidity 

Our expert team works closely with you to design custom ESS programs that accurately simulate your product's working conditions. By combining multiple environmental factors into single-program testing solutions, we optimize your validation process while reducing time and costs. Our approach helps identify and eliminate latent defects across your product's complete lifecycle. 

Testing solutions include: 

• Custom test program design 

• Multiple environmental factor integration 

• Real-world condition simulation 

• Lifecycle defect reduction strategies 

• Efficiency-optimized test sequences 

Our state-of-the-art facilities feature advanced environmental simulation chambers and testing equipment designed to deliver precise, reliable results. Our comprehensive technical capabilities enable accurate reproduction of real-world conditions while maintaining strict control over all environmental parameters throughout testing. 

Equipment capabilities include: 

• Temperature control chambers (-100°C to 200°C) 

• Multi-axis vibration testing systems 

• Advanced shock testing equipment 

• Precision humidity control chambers 

• Altitude simulation facilities 

• Combined environment test chambers 

We complement our ESS testing with HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing) and HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screening) services. These programs push components beyond normal operating limits to identify potential failure points and improve product quality. Through extreme environmental simulation, we help ensure your product is robust and reduces field failures. 

Our HALT/HASS testing capabilities include: 

• Vibration from 5 – 5,000 Hz 

• Up to 50 g shock with 6 degrees of freedom 

• Temperature range of -100 – 200 C 

• Up to 98% RH
