Component Compatibility Test Lab (including Sealed Tube Testing)
ELTEK Labs conducts a wide range of compatibility tests to various industry standards. Compatibility refers to interactions such as:
- individual materials in different environments
- multiple materials within different environments
- two or more materials with each other in a “standard” environment
- an EIS in different environments
- multiple materials with an Electrical Insulation System (EIS)
- one material with one other material
Application areas such as:
- Oil for Oil Filled Transformers (OFT)
- Detergents for dish washing or clothes washing machines
- Refrigerants for cooling units
- Cleaning solutions/solvents
- Acidic or basic solutions; industrial applications
- Exposure to salt water
