Featured Testing Standards for Presto Quality Solutions
ASTM D1623
Standard Test Method for Tensile and Tensile Adhesion
ASTM F88/F88M
BS EN ISO 3376
ISO 23910
ISO 3377-2
BS EN 843-1
ASTM F2592
SAE USCAR-21-4
ASTM D622-99
ASTM D622 provides ASTM test methods that are suitable for testing conventional hose types used for operating air brake and vacuum brake systems, whether they are used on a single motor vehicle, or when used for a combination of motor vehicles as connecting or transmission lines.
SAE USCAR-38
This performance specification, SAE USCAR-38, is produced by the United States Council for Automotive Research (USCAR) and describes the basic test methods and requirements for ultrasonically welded cable termination-type connections, that are subjected to an ultrasonically welded connection with a bus, terminal, or device, including welded eyelet or battery connections.
Automotive engineering is multidisciplinary by nature and integrates mechanical, electrical, software, and safety engineering to produce vehicles that are expected to perform and be reliable and safe to the required standards.
All the components, assemblies, and systems should be in agreement with regulatory expectations, in-house requirements, and expectations of the end-user.
Whether you are providing single parts, sub-assemblies, or aftermarket products, or producing entire vehicles as an OEM, it is necessary to ensure that there is consistency of quality and compatibility between the systems to avoid damage to the brand image and to avoid reliance on the product.
The automotive systems that will undergo thorough mechanical testing are key automotive systems, such as powertrains, chassis structures, electrical modules, interior elements, and auxiliary subsystems. These tests are done to test the functionality, durability, and safety of the product across its product lifecycle through simulated operating conditions.
Presto Stantest provides accurate testing solutions to automotive uses, such as
- Ergonomic efforts involved in opening, closing, and adjusting doors, windows, and other architectural elements
- Forces defining the performance of electrical system components
- Torque to actuate rotary controls
- Forces to actuate dashboard buttons
- Compression and tensile properties of springs
- Resilience of flexible plastic and rubber components
Mechanical strength, safety, and quality requirements relying on uniform and precise measurements with the help of reliable force and torque testing systems and strengthening brand confidence can be achieved.
The world leaders in the automotive manufacturing sectors and engineering institutions have placed trust in Presto Stantest solutions in testing components, assemblies, and complete vehicles. Our systems reinforce the advice of internationally perceived specifications like ASTM, BS EN, ISO, DEF, DIN, CEN, MIL, and VDI.
Our experience is not limited to automotive use, and we have a wider range of experience in the transport sector, involving rail, aerospace, and industrial mobility, and in all these areas, strong and proven test systems are equally important.
