DIN EN 60068-2-6-2 Sinusoidal Vibration Test
The DIN EN 60068-2-6-2 standard is a crucial part of the broader DIN EN 60068 series, which provides guidelines for the testing and qualification of electrical, electronic, and mechanical products. This specific test method addresses the evaluation of the effects of sinusoidal vibrations on components within HVAC equipment. The purpose is to ensure that these devices can withstand the operational stresses they will encounter in real-world environments.
The test involves subjecting specimens to controlled sinusoidal vibration along one or more axes, typically at frequencies ranging from 10 Hz to 2000 Hz. Specimens are subjected to specified amplitude levels and durations according to the standards. This testing is essential for verifying the mechanical reliability of HVAC components under conditions that simulate transportation, installation, and operational environments.
The test setup includes a vibration table capable of generating sinusoidal vibrations with precise control over frequency, amplitude, and duration. The equipment must be capable of maintaining stability within specified tolerances to ensure accurate testing results. Specimens are typically secured in place using fixtures designed to prevent any movement during the test, ensuring that only the intended effects of the vibrations are assessed.
Testing parameters for the DIN EN 60068-2-6-2 include:
- Frequency range: 10 Hz to 2000 Hz
- Vibration amplitude levels: Typically within a range from 5 g to 30 g, depending on the product being tested
- Durations: Varies based on test requirements but often extends over several hours or days
- Test axes: Often X, Y, and Z directions are considered in three-axis testing
The acceptance criteria for this test include:
- No permanent damage to the specimen
- No functional failures during or after the test
- No significant changes in performance parameters that could affect product functionality
Testing of HVAC equipment under these conditions ensures that manufacturers and suppliers meet stringent quality standards, thereby enhancing product reliability and ensuring safe operation.
Industry Applications
| Industry Sector | Application |
|---|---|
| Aerospace | Vibration testing of components for aircraft HVAC systems to ensure reliability in flight conditions |
| Automotive | Evaluation of HVAC units subjected to vibration during transportation and installation |
| HVAC Manufacturing | Qualification of HVAC system components to withstand operational stresses in real-world environments |
Detailed Test Setup and Parameters
The test setup involves a vibration table capable of generating sinusoidal vibrations across the specified frequency range. The amplitude is controlled by adjusting the displacement, velocity, or acceleration of the table to match the required levels. The duration of each test phase is carefully planned to ensure that all relevant stress points are covered.
Specimens for testing must be prepared in a way that ensures they are representative of real-world conditions. This includes ensuring that any fasteners and connectors are securely attached, as loose parts can lead to inaccurate results. The test environment should also simulate the operational conditions expected during use, including temperature and humidity levels.
Once the specimen is secured in place, the vibration table begins generating sinusoidal vibrations along the specified axes for the required duration. Throughout the testing process, continuous monitoring of the specimen's condition is essential to ensure that no damage or functional failures occur. Post-test analysis involves evaluating any changes in performance parameters and comparing them against pre-test values.
