PAConsult
Benefit from our many years of experience in environmental simulations in the aerospace industry
PAConsult Space is here!
We are pleased to be here for you with our new space laboratory! We have expanded our Berlin location with an additional laboratory specifically tailored for aerospace testing. There, we offer you an even broader range of testing capabilities. Specifically, this means:
- Vibration and shock tests with up to 200 kN
- Testing in cleanrooms up to ISO class 7
- Wide range of temperature and climate tests
This enables us to focus specifically on the requirements of the space sector and meet your testing needs even better.
What is the goal of a sample test in the aerospace industry?
The aim of a type examination in the aerospace sector is to qualify a component or device for installation in an aircraft or spacecraft. In hardly any other industry are the requirements for materials, components and devices so high. In order to meet the high safety standards, all components and devices that are to find their way into an aircraft or spacecraft undergo a series of environmental tests. These tests simulate all standard and extreme situations that the test specimen may be exposed to during its service life.
In this area, PAConsult has a test laboratory accredited to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025, recognized and audited by Airbus and in cooperation with Boeing.
The type examination is an essential step in the approval process for new aerospace aircraft or their components.
How is the most fitting test method selected?
The test procedure is specified by the respective standards and the aircraft manufacturer. The following specifications are important: What type of aircraft is involved? What is the maximum flight altitude? Where in the aircraft will the device be installed later?
Among other things, we test in accordance with RTCA DO-160 and the regulations of the major manufacturers. Our customers in the aerospace industry are located all over the world and receive complete solutions from us that are individually tailored to their products.
