You will find hereafter a non-exhaustive list of tests that we commonly perform. Of course, we are able develop new tests according to your specific needs.
Several standards we usually use:
– Aeronautic: EUROCAE 14E, RTCA DO160, RG AERO 11
– Defense : GAM EG13, MIL STD 810, STANAG, DEF STAN
– Automotive: NF EN, ISO, SAE, PSA, Renault (RSA), Opel, VAG, BMW, GM, STELLANTIS, VDA, …
– Railway: NF EN 50125-3, IEC 61373, NF EN 50155
– Field standards:
Mechanical: NF EN 60068-2-6 (sinusoidal vibrations), NF EN 60068-2-27 (shocks), NF EN 60068-2-64 (random vibrations)
Climatic: NF EN 60068-2-1 (cold), NF EN 60068-2-2 (dry heat), NF EN 60068-2-14 (change of temperature), NF EN 60068-2-30, NF EN 60068-2-78 (humidity / damp heat), NF EN 60068-3-11, NF EN 60068-3-5…
IP: IEC 60529, ISO 20653
Salt spray – Corrosion: NF EN 60068-2-11 / ISO 9227

PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL AND HYDRAULIC TESTS:
o Fluid susceptibility or contamination by fluids
The major fluids are classified by family in the standards. For example, in the aeronautic and automotive fields, it is fuels, lubricating oils, solvents, cleaning liquids, de-icing fluids, insecticides…
VITESS offers several dispositions: aspersion, immersion or coating
o Hydraulic tests all types of fluid: cycled pressure, cycled flow, charge loss, circulation

o Testing benches designed and manufactured by VITESS
PRESSURE TESTS:
o Altitude
o Rapid decompression and over pressure
o Fluids circulation with pressure and flow interlock
o Dynamic pressure
o Leak testing
