An integral part of aerospace safety programs, rapid decompression testing evaluates the effects of emergency descent on mission-critical equipment in pressurized areas of an aircraft.

Rapid Decompression Testing Experts

Sudden loss of pressure in an aircraft can have devastating results on navigation, safety and operational components. In addition to rupture and structural collapse, depressurization can cause issues with leakage and electrical malfunction. Our experts provide accurate, efficient testing, helping you ensure the safety of your products while meeting contractual obligations.
