ISO 11890 Parachute System Strength Testing
The ISO 11890 standard provides a comprehensive framework for the testing of parachute systems to ensure they meet stringent safety and performance requirements. This service is critical in aerospace and aviation, where the failure of even one component can have catastrophic consequences.
Parachute systems are tested under various loads to determine their strength and durability. The test setup typically includes a load frame capable of applying controlled forces that simulate real-world deployment scenarios. Specimens undergo static loading tests to assess their ability to withstand specified forces without failure. These tests are designed to mimic the conditions under which parachutes will deploy in service, ensuring they can perform reliably during critical emergency situations.
The ISO 11890 standard specifies detailed procedures for testing parachute systems, including the preparation of specimens and the application of loads. Specimens must be prepared according to strict guidelines provided by the standard to ensure accurate results. This includes considerations such as material type, dimensions, and condition prior to testing.
During the test, load cells are used to measure applied forces accurately. Strain gauges may also be incorporated into the test setup to provide additional data on how materials behave under stress. Video cameras capture the entire process for quality assurance purposes and documentation. After each test run, engineers analyze all collected data to determine whether the specimen passed or failed based on predefined criteria outlined in ISO 11890.
Compliance with this standard ensures that parachute systems meet industry standards and regulations worldwide. By adhering strictly to these guidelines during testing, manufacturers can demonstrate their commitment to producing safe, reliable products that comply with international safety requirements.
In addition to ensuring compliance with ISO 11890, our laboratory also offers other services related to parachute system testing, such as fatigue life testing and environmental exposure testing. These complementary tests help provide a more comprehensive evaluation of parachute performance under different conditions.
