EdStainless - labs with the accreditation I need are very limited and we would have to audit their QA program first - not practical and more costly than the lab equipment. I would like to focus the discussion on the test setup.
IRstuff,
I will be testing 5 pieces of each - it would be impractical to get a manufacturer to do this. I want to keep the conversation focused on the original problem - for me to perform the testing.
I already have a calibrated multimeter - I only listed items to accomplish the circuit and...
IRstuff - we have to perform the testing ourselves as independent verification. I agree, lot of effort for some cheap parts but this is part of a large project worth a lot of money. This scope of the project is actually a drop in the bucket compared to the mechanical side of it.
Hello. Was hoping you guys could help a poor mechanical engineer out...I’m in need of performing some benchtop verification testing of 1kohm potentiometers rated at 0.5W and some microswitches rated a 125VDC and 10A. While I’ve written test specs for these types of devices before and feel...
My company performs 3rd party testing to verify equipment performance. We typically do not know the end use of the equipment so we test all features. In the case of electrical contacts (I'm dealing specifically with a NEMA size 1 contactor auxiliary contact blocks), manufacturers publish the...
