Thermal Vacuum Cycling

We offer thermal vacuum cycling to ESA ECSS-Q-70-04A. Should you require it, we can design and fabricate suitable specimen mounting units which are compatible with our heating and cooling modules. Temperature cycles are logged on a PC data acquisition system. Please contact us to discuss your particular requirements.

Custom Testing

We have both vacuum and outgassing test equipment and are also capable of helping you design custom tests for your materials/equipment.

If you have designed your test and wish us to carry it out, we are happy to do so. If you would like some friendly advice on possible ways of conducting your experiment, we are pleased to do that too. If your testing needs a special part to be designed and built we have access to skilled instrument engineers who will oblige. In short, we offer our test facilities and can be involved in the process as much or as little as the customer would like.

We work in laboratories all round the world and are often surprised that the scientific tools that we consider essential are not always to hand.
