Environmental Testing

Haag provides a wide variety of equipment and structures designed to duplicate and test in-use conditions. Unlike typical materials testing laboratories, ours often incorporates special test methods and procedures to replicate operational situations, after which our engineers compile and analyze test data to evaluate causes of failure or potential problems. Much of our test equipment is portable, permitting accurate tests in the field.

• Environmental Test Chamber. This 27 cubic foot temperature/humidity test chamber is designed specifically for product development, quality assurance, research and other applications to determine product resistance to various temperatures from -20° to + 100° C and humidity exposure from 20% to 98%.

• QUV Testing. Haag can simulate the effects of temperature, moisture and UV exposure on various building elements.

• Moisture Detection Testing. Used primarily in roof assembly studies, portable equipment is available to determine the presence and extent of moisture.

• High-Pressure Hydrostatic Testing. Pressures up to 10,000 psi can be generated for hydrostatic testing of pressure vessels, valves and hose assemblies.

• High-Current Electrical Testing. Equipment is available to test circuit breaker functions and to load-test electrical cables at ratings of up to 1000 amperes.

• Mechanical Testing. Tensile testing up to 5,000 lbs. for small specimens is available. Haag also is equipped with portable laboratory equipment for metal hardness field testing.

• Fire and Explosion Testing. Haag utilizes flammable gas detectors, carbon monoxide monitors and pipe leak test equipment for fire and explosion analyses.
