Military and Aerospace Testing
Keystone Compliance has developed a strong reputation as a leader in military and aerospace compliance testing. Having invested millions of dollars in test chambers and equipment, the EMC and environmental laboratories can accommodate large engine operating devices down to components and subcomponents. Our engineers prioritize quality and confidentiality for manufacturers seeking certification testing.
Keystone Compliance is different from other testing labs because we have the creativity and engineering ability to address customized requirements. Examples of customizations include:
- The creation of waveforms to meet highly-specific lightning and surge test requirements.
- The construction of a 600-gallon immersion tank that required a specific saline concentration and a constant cold temperature.
- The implementation of an exhaust system to dissipate heat and exhaust from engine operating devices within EMC chambers.
- Fabrication and installation of bulk head plates that permit a wide range of signals to be measured for shielding effectiveness testing.
EMC Testing to Military and Aerospace Industry Standards
The EMC laboratory features nine anachoic chambers, a reverberation chamber, and ground planes able to conduct measurement capabilities. For a full list of Keystone’s military EMC/EMI testing capabilities and standards, visit Military EMC Testing.
- Radiated immunity testing up to 200 V/m from 10 kHz to 18 GHz
- Radiated emissions testing up to 40 GHz
- Surge testing to 10kV/10kA – and higher
- ESD testing up to 30 kV
- Conducted immunity testing to levels well above the highest defined “standard” levels
- Magnetic field immunity testing up to 100 A/m continuous and 1000 A/m short/impulse
- Customized electrical fast transient waveforms to extend level, duration and/or repetition of the standard’s definition
- Shielding Effectiveness – from small panels and boxes all the way up to large enclosures and cabling, with wide dynamic range all the way to 18 GHz
Environmental Testing to Military and Aerospace Industry Standards
The environmental lab features dozens of temperature/humidity chambers of various sizes. It has four electrodynamic shakers, with the largest having a capability of 40,000 lbf. Additionally, the lab includes a full ingress protection testing laboratory with various spray nozzles, drip trays, immersion tanks, and many more environmental testing equipment able to meet hundreds of military and aerospace testing standards and procedures.
