LONDON, UK 鈥 October 28, 2016 鈥 糖心logo米菲兔 continues to demonstrate its position as a leading provider of Aerospace and Defense product qualification testing (PQT) services with the expansion of its environmental testing capabilities at its Denver, Colorado location. Its investment in a new thermal vacuum chamber complements existing thermal testing and bake out capabilities, underlining Element鈥檚 ability to deliver technical expertise with market-leading operational performance which is critical to these sectors.

The new capability allows clients to test to extreme temperatures and pressures, from cryogenic temperatures to 150 degrees C, and pressures of up to 1 X 10-7 Torr. This includes both product qualification testing (PQT) of components and a range of materials testing (MT) services, including sterilization/decontamination for space applications. 听
Rick Sluiters, Element鈥檚 Executive Vice President, Aerospace, comments: 鈥淭here is significant demand within the local Aerospace market for more extreme testing capabilities. Following this investment, we now have a fully comprehensive set of capabilities in environmental testing demonstrating our commitment to the Aerospace and Defense supply chain. Element鈥檚 technical expertise is such that very few organizations are able to provide this type of service, with the requisite level of quality control and project management demanded in the sector.鈥澨 听
Element鈥檚 Pacific Northwest locations provide a full range of environmental testing capabilities to听RTCA DO-160, MIL-STD 810 and ISO/IEC 17025:2005 standards, as well as holding a number of Aerospace Prime and supply chain approvals.听
