ASTM E2105 Infrared Thermography Testing of Battery Packs
The ASTM E2105 standard provides a robust framework for conducting infrared thermography (IRT) on battery packs. This non-destructive testing method is widely recognized for its ability to identify thermal anomalies in complex assemblies without the need for disassembly or additional invasive procedures.
Using IRT, we can detect and quantify temperature variations within battery cells and modules. The primary purpose of this service is to ensure that batteries operate efficiently and safely under various conditions. By identifying potential hotspots early on, our team helps prevent failures that could lead to safety issues such as overheating or thermal runaway.
The ASTM E2105 standard specifies the procedures for performing IRT on battery packs using an infrared camera with a resolution of at least 320x240 pixels. The test setup typically includes a controlled environment where the battery pack is subjected to specific stress tests, including charging and discharging cycles.
Specimen preparation involves ensuring that the battery pack is fully charged before testing begins. This ensures accurate readings by minimizing any initial thermal gradients within the cells. During the actual IRT process, multiple images are captured at different stages of operation to capture temperature changes over time.
The resulting data provides detailed insights into how each cell performs under load and how efficiently heat dissipates throughout the module. This information is critical for quality assurance purposes as it allows manufacturers to identify weak spots early in production or during R&D phases.
For R&D teams, this service offers an invaluable tool for optimizing battery designs by pinpointing areas that require improvement based on real-world performance metrics rather than theoretical models alone.
In compliance departments, adherence to standards like ASTM E2105 ensures regulatory requirements are met while also enhancing product safety and reliability. For procurement personnel, knowing the quality assurance measures employed during manufacturing can help make more informed decisions about sourcing components for future projects.
