Purpose of Tests
The purpose of contamination by fluids testing is to determine if material is affected by temporary exposure to contaminating fluids. Contamination may arise from exposure to fuels, solvents and cleaning fluids, de-icing and anti-freeze fluids, insecticides, fire extinguishants, etc. This corrosive atmosphere test is not intended to determine if material can perform during continuous contact with a fluid. It should not be used to demonstrate resistance to electrolytic corrosion or corrosion due to human perspiration. EnScientific Testings and Certification lab is with significant experience in MIL-STD-810 contamination by fluids testing experience. Our test engineers have an in-depth knowledge of corrosion testing for commercial, military, and aerospace products. This knowledge is drawn from MIL-810 contamination by fluids, but includes MIL-810G contamination by fluids and MIL-810H contamination by fluids.
The following information is extremely technical in nature. It provides a summary of MIL STD-810, Method 504.3. Even though the language is from 810 resistances to solvents, it applies previous versions of the standard. This includes MIL-STD 810G contamination by fluids and MIL-STD 810H contamination by fluids.
WARNING
This method requires the use of substances and /or test procedures that may have an environmental impact or be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken.
Effects of the contaminating fluids environment.
Exposure of material may impair the operation either temporarily or permanently Typical effects of the contaminating fluids
- Packaging failure.
- Seal or gasket failures.
- Paint/legend removal.
- Corrosion.
- Melting or decomposition.
