MET Labs can be an important component of your research and development team by providing HALT/HASS testing. HALT/HASS is one of industry's more widely accepted means of determining reliability of a product through accelerated reliability testing. The twin main stresses employed during HALT/ HASS are rapid temperature transitions and random vibration. This double dose of extreme exposure will reveal defects most likely to occur in the field, in real life application.

Our HALT/HASS Qualmark Typhoon 2.5 chamber has a temperature range of +200° C to -100° C, with a max ramp rate of > 60°C/min. It has a vibration range of 50 Grms (10Hz to 5kHz) and 60 Grms (10Hz to 1kHz). It is the perfect test chamber for both Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) applications. How does HALT benefit you? Through the HALT evaluation you will be able to: Quickly discover design and process flaws Evaluate and improve design margins Reduce development time and cost Eliminate design problems before releasing to manufacturing Ship a mature product at market introduction Use as a sustaining engineering tool to evaluate the impact of product modifications and cost reductions Reduce claims under your product warranty
