SAMPLES NEEDED
Confirmed when we scope your test
TYPICAL TURNAROUND
Confirmed with your quote
You probably need this if
Your product or packaging will see heat, cold or humidity in a warehouse, trailer or container
You need to know whether a load stays stable when stacked at high temperature
What the test involves
01
Test plan
We review or help you craft a test plan that will accomplish your environmental testing objectives
02
Chamber exposure
Samples are placed in an environmental chamber and held at, or cycled through, the profile. Gaynes has a variety of temperature-only, temperature and humidity, and walk-in chambers.
03
Load or pressure
For stacking tests, a top load can be applied during exposure
04
Inspection and reporting
Samples are inspected for deformation, leaks, seal failures or other damage, and the report documents the conditions and results.
What to send us

Common questions
What is temperature cycling?
Conditions are changed repeatedly between hot and cold, sometimes with humidity, to mimic day and night or seasonal swings in a trailer or warehouse. Cycling finds problems a single exposure misses, such as seal fatigue, condensation and adhesive failure.
What temperature and humidity ranges can you test at?
Our standard chambers run from -60°F to 200°F and 15% to 95% relative humidity, held steady or cycled. For pallet loads and large products, our walk-in chamber runs from -38°F to 160°F and 40% to 95% relative humidity.
What other environmental tests do you run?
Beyond temperature and humidity, Gaynes runs altitude testing for air shipment, salt spray corrosion testing and UV exposure testing.
