Weiss Technik Custom Test Chamber featured at US Army Test Center

Weiss Technik’s WP Series custom walk-in environmental test chamber is featured at the US Army Redstone Test Center in Alabama.
 
The U.S. Army Redstone Test Center (RTC) has a ‘cool’ new test capability – producing snow.
The purpose is to see how Army equipment performs in extreme climates, making sure our soldiers are getting the very best gear no matter where they’re deployed.
 
RTC engineers are using multi-environment chambers at the Climatic Test Division to examine equipment in all different kinds of weather conditions to see how it holds up.
 
It has two large chambers that create extreme temperatures, from -100 degrees to 185+ degrees.
 
“Our mission is to ensure that the equipment that is tested here will be able to support the war fighter’s needs in the field. The war fighter doesn’t get snow days. The equipment has to work in all environments. It’s mission critical. It’s safety critical. It has to work when he needs it so we test to those extremes,” explained mechanical engineer Matt Lucas.
