Environmental testing is the measurement of the performance of equipment under specified environmental conditions. This can include the following:
- High and low extreme temperatures
- Temperature cycling
- Sand and dust exposure
- Salt spray
- High and low humidity
- Wet environments
- Deep water submersion
- Corrosive material exposure
- Algae and microbial exposure
- Shock and vibrations, including gun fire
- High and low pressure
- Pressure cycling
- Electromagnetic interference
Such tests are most commonly performed on equipment used in military, maritime, aeronautical and space applications.
