Signature Testing

By carrying out Signature Test, one can repeatedly measure the spectra in accordance with custom procedures by comparing it with a reference sample. This technique is followed by various renowned automobile manufacturing companies. Signature test for polymers include 3 Tests; DSC, TGA & FTIR which are used to track the deviation in properties of a sample as compared to a reference sample.

IP Test for Automobile

Taillights, headlights, windows, Engine and its parts, pipes and valves, electronic circuits, etc.

Water Protection/ Rain Submersion

Extreme heat, cold or rain have adverse impacts on vehicles and may damage it. They penetrates heating, air inlets, ventilation and air conditioning systems.

Dust Settling Method

Ingres Protection test ensures that vehicle is ready to bear dust filled environment which tends to cause problems with moving parts and absorbs water vapour.

Tests for Insulating Oils

Spectro provides testing services for insulating oils which are used in transformers, power circuit breakers, load tap-chargers, resistivity, dielectric constant, dissipation factor, etc.

UV Light Exposure Tests

Metals, plastics, glass and rubber materials bear the sunlight and harsh Ultraviolet rays which poses harmful impacts on interior and exterior of an automobile. There is a great requirement to ensure durability of components to operate in such environmental conditions.

Thermography Testing

• high temperatures, over-heating problems in cars reduces the life span of car and its components.
• Outer body of the vehicle fades and may even corrode

Vibration Testing

• Ensuring safety on roads and a longer, hassle-free operational life
• Low and high-frequency vibration test
• Endure extreme environmental conditions which may damage or lead to component failure

Impact Test

It is used to assess the degree to which an automobile part can sustain forces which leads to collisions, crashes and accidents.

Gloss Value

Automobile's metallic body is coated with illuminating paints to enhance the appearance. Measuring the reflectance of paint applied at different angles is important.

Ageing Test

• UV ageing
• Xenon ageing
• Ozone ageing
• Oil ageing
• Accelerated ageing

Tests for Automobile Paints & Coatings

Automobile paints may include primer, ready mix paint, aluminium coating and powder coating.

• Steiner Tunnel Test is carried out for paints and coatings to check the flame spread and smoke density in case of fire.
• Corrosion Test
• Composition Test
• Weathering Test
• Chemical Resistance Test
• Resistance to water, lubricating oil, coolant, etc.
• Scratch Hardness
• Drying time
• Opacity

Endurance Testing

It is carried out to determine whether a material can sustain the continuous expected load for an expected period of time.
Thermal Cycle Test
Thermal Shock Test
Salt Spray Test
It helps to evaluate the suitability of the protective layer on the metal surface.
