IEC 60068-2-13 Altitude TestingIEC 60068-2-13 Low Air Pressure Testing

The object of IEC 60068-2-13 testing is to determine the ability of components, equipment or other articles to be stored, transported or used under low air pressure conditions. All testing under IEC-60068-2-13 is conducted at ambient room temperature.

The testing specified in the IEC 60068-2-13 test standard requires the air pressure to remain within a tolerance of plus or minus 5% of the required limits. The standard contains a chart that specifies the kPa (ranges from 1 to 84), mbar (ranges from 10 to 840) and approximate altitude above sea level (ranges from 31,200 to 3,000).

In addition to specifying the pressure, IEC 60068-2-13 also details the duration of the test. The durations to select from are five minutes, 30 minutes, two hours, four hours and 16 hours.
