Hastest Solutions, Inc., is Silicon Valley’s fastest growing, most reliable provider of highly accelerated stress testing solutions in the reliability testing field. Hastest’s test equipment is used to verify that a company’s products function properly during and after the manufacturing process.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 21, 2010 — Located in the Pacific Northwest, CascadeTEK helps companies bring new and reliable products to market. When browsing the Internet for a solar chamber manufacturer, Terry Candlish, Sr. VP Operations at CascadeTEK was shocked to learn that Hastest Solutions also manufacturers dust and sand chambers together with their solar test chambers. So what’s the big deal? Candlish knew for certain that Hastest’s competitors’ prices for these chambers were ridiculously expensive and turnaround times were totally absurd.

Candlish explored Hastest’s capabilities and was amazed to learn that after sharing their budget, Hastest Solutions provided a quote very close to what they were looking for. Plus, Hastest Solutions had the technical prowess to conform to both MIL and IEC standards. Candlish says, “My experience (with Hastest Solutions) was very positive. They cover all the bases. Their technical capabilities are impressive. Fast turnaround time and their prices are reasonable. I believe Hastest Solutions will do for you what they have done for us. They will help you get where you want to be, or maybe it just cannot be done.”

CascadeTEK’s business has continued to grow over the years. When it comes to dust and sand chambers, they outsource to Hastest Solutions – bottom-line, end of discussion. Now, CascadeTek is considering the purchase of the Hastest Solutions’ Solar Test Chambers as well.

Hastest Solutions, Inc., is the fastest growing provider of high quality reliability testing solutions. Since 1997, Hastest Solutions has cultivated an excellent reputation working with America’s best known companies. Hastest Solutions builds reasonably priced, high-value solutions, and customers are assured fast turnaround times as well as superb vendor service.

Don’t Just Test it…………HAST it!!!!!
……so when your testing time is critical,
Accelerate it……speed it up by a factor of 10 or more.

Almost every product needs to be tested for long term viability and the time-to-market invariably is always short – so what do you do? You accelerate the test.

And how do you accelerate this test? By utilizing the internationally acclaimed Highly Accelerated Stress Test Chamber, also known as HAST Chamber made by HIRAYAMA.

HAST has been an integral part of most all testing of Materials; be it Semiconductors, Polymer, Ceramic, Glass, Rubber, Paper, Wood, Laminates, LCD’s, Etc. for the past 50 years or so.

And HAST is a vital part of the Reliability Test program under which the temperature and humidity parameters are exercised. In standard environmental testing, the resistance to humidity conditions are generally tested much below 100 °C while HAST or PCT [Pressure Cooker test] is performed at Temperatures of over 110 °C together with a very high density of water vapor leading to Humidity test conditions of over 65 % RH.

The HAST/PCT Chamber creates an atmosphere inside the chamber whereby the difference in water vapor conditions [Pressurized HOT Steam] inside the test materials and outside of the test materials are very high. This condition is used to check the resistance to humidity conditions of the test material under high temperatures.

When you need to test the long-term survivability of a product, or simply need to get to market faster, accelerated testing methodology using the HAST/PCT chamber is the obvious answer. It is a crucial part of a complete reliability testing program, via the accelerated testing technology using HIRAYAMA HAST Chamber, the latest Model PC-422R8.

Please make sure you read the article on “How to Select a HAST Chamber”

Please go to www.hastest.com for a more detailed analysis/description/specifications of these extremely powerful systems for testing Ceramics, Glass, Polymers, Wood, and almost any Material using the HAST Chamber.

Hastest Solutions is the leader in providing Environmental Test Chamber Technology and Solutions to a number of industries which include materials such as: Ceramics, Glass, Paper & Pulp, Semiconductors, Rubber, Laminates, Polymer, Wood, etc

An autoclave is essentially a chamber that uses steam to sterilize products. This device has a broad range of use cases across different industries: autoclaves in the medical field are typically referred to as sterilizers, while the R&D, testing, and quality fields call the chambers autoclaves.

While specialized autoclaves may have extra steps or features, all will have a basic set of components: the chamber, the controls system, the thermostatic trap, the safety valve, and the waste-water cooling system.

An autoclave for defoaming LCD panels is designed to remove air bubbles from underneath LCD panels of display devices through the use of controlled temperature and pressure. In LCD display production, air bubbles may be present during the process of attaching the polarizing plate to the display; by defoaming the panel, these air bubbles can be removed to lower defect count and increase product quality post-manufacture.

The Hirayama PTU-1507H is a large cylindrical autoclave for defoaming LCD panels with a chamber diameter of 1.4 m and depth of 2.4 m, resulting in a volume of 3695 L (130.5 ft³). The temperature is adjusted using a PID controller and SSR drive system, and the pressure with a motor valve with two-point measurement data. This chamber features many safety devices such as over-heat and over-pressure prevention, a pressure safety valve, lid-locking, and more.

Several industries benefit from the use of LCD Autoclaves, the most significant being the mobile phone industry. Smartphone manufacturers are implementing cutting edge technologies into their products’ displays such as organic LEDs and folding displays, and maintaining a high level of quality is important for staying above their competition. Another major use case for LCD Autoclaves is for automotive infotainment displays. Laptop computers, desktop monitors, and LCD TVs are various other products that undergo LCD defoaming.
