A new component test chamber for Booz Allen Hamilton

This table can support objects weighing up to 750 kilograms and complies with MIL-Standard for the defence industry. Let us share more details about our production line’s strongest testing table.

A few weeks ago, we delivered the component test chamber in the photo at one of the Booz Allen Hamilton facilities in the US. Our colleague and technical consultant, Hanneke Mertens – van Veen was responsible for this project from our side.

Hanneke: “I enjoyed working on this project with the Booz Allen Hamilton team, and they helped me run a smooth and efficient project. The table in this chamber has extra strong wheels and can easily be carried in and out of the chamber over a 150mm ramp at the door. The table’s ground plane is made of copper, but we also deliver them with other metal ground planes to comply with various test standards. The reason this one is made of copper is to increase electrical conductivity.”

And does MIL standards compliance increase the difficulty of designing a chamber?
Hanneke: “The EUTS come in various varieties, significantly impacting the chamber’s footprint. Components required for the defence industry are often larger and, therefore, heavier than average. With DEF Standards, floor-standing equipment is an option; however, we advised a tabletop setting due to the EUTs.”

Our services include maintenance and validated testing. We recommend that both are executed by authorized personnel only. Our expert teams can perform preventive maintenance on RF-shielded doors, mode-stirrer systems, and positioning equipment such as turntables. We also offer validation services to see if your EMC test chamber or RF-shielded room still functions within its intended limits and avoiding unexpected down-time or product recalls at the same time.

A shielded room can perform conducted emission and immunity EMC measurements, eliminating harmful external influences, leading to more accurate and consistent test results. Being a Faraday cage, a shielded room will not only improve test results but will also form an excellent aid in protecting information and essential hardware. Comtest can assist governments, the military, financial institutions, and large corporations in protecting what matters most in critical situations. We offer the highest quality, sensitivity, and security before, during and after working with you.
