Environmental Testing Services

Prove your products in our environments

Product developers from a wide variety of fields have come to trust Boeing for environmental testing of their products in harsh and potentially damaging environments. Boeing lab test facilities and teams have played a crucial role in ensuring that new and experimental products — from commercial and military aircraft, to automobiles, to satellites, to spacecraft — are equal to the challenges of the harsh conditions in which they operate, including extreme cold and heat, vacuum and pressure, solar radiation, rain, humidity, vibration, acoustic noise, and shock.

From the earth to the skies and beyond, prove your products in Boeing environments first.

Key test capabilities

 
  • undefined

    Acoustic test chamber

    Our large (68,000 cubic-feet/20,726.4 cubic meters) acoustic test chamber can accommodate very large test articles and is able to test against vibration within a realistic gaseous simulated atmosphere. The lab is equipped with two 20-hertz and two 50-hertz WAS 3000 horns and four 200-hertz EPT 200 horns and is completely insulated and isolated from external interferences. The chamber performs at an Overall Sound Pressure Level (OASPL) of 155 decibels.

    Thermal vacuum chamber

    Our 45-by-35-by-40-foot (13.7-by-10.7-by-12.2-meter) thermal vacuum chamber is able to simulate the extreme environment of space in both vacuum and cold with a shroud temperature liquid nitrogen capability of minus 320 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 195 degress Celsius) and a gaseous nitrogen range from minus 250 F (minus 157 C) to 250 F (121 C). It can be configured to simulate ambient solar radiation and is large enough to accommodate a variety of test article dimensions, even multiple test articles at once.

    Anechoic chamber

    Our large anechoic chamber (31.6 by 39.3 feet/9.6 by 12 meters and 26.5 feet/8 meters high) provides the ability to conduct antenna radiation patterns, Electronic Magnetic Interference and Compatibility (EMI/EMC), and payload testing via air linking the Radio Frequency (RF) signal to and from a satellite. The chamber is highly flexible accommodating various types of power supply sources with multiple power connections.
