Test as a Service (TaaS)

Can I purchase the test system used to test my products?

Yes! Perhaps at this time, your reason for outsourcing your testing to Genuen is that your current testing volume doesn't warrant the capital investment for new equipment. When you're ready, Genuen can manufacture an identical test system, that was used for your TaaS requirements, ensuring that that the test results are in correlation throughout the entire process.

Can I send my own personnel to perform testing at your facility?

Genuen not only can provide onsite training for your technicians, but can also provide dedicated systems for your personnel to test products at our facility. This can be an invaluable solution to keep your process moving forward, while waiting for a piece of test equipment to be built or during the development and production phases for your testing, ensuring that your IP is protected and your testing requirements are satisfied.

What are the advantages of testing my product under the actual ambient and fluid operating temperatures vs room temperatures?

Many components react differently at varying temperatures. Fracturing at cold temperatures and expansion at hot temperatures can prove to reduce a product’s life span. By selecting a TaaS partner who can provide the expanded data to be used to examine, and extend, a product’s usable life, you can cut manufacturing costs and reduce warranty returns.

How can I determine the effects of high-pressures within my component?

Applying a pressure 3 or 10 times the operational pressure may result in a product’s expansion, elongation, warpage, and increased internal leakages. An analysis of the test results by a qualified TaaS partner can provide expanded data; saving you money throughout the research, development, and manufacturing phases of your product.

Are there advantages to testing with the actual fluid being used with my application?

Utilizing a TaaS partner who can test with the actual operational fluid can provide enhanced data through correlation of the actual performance under working conditions. This type of TaaS service provides real-world product interactions including the fluid’s compressibility, pressure drop through the component, seal interactions, and fluid leakages.

What is the difference between Temperature Testing and Thermal Shock Testing?

Temperature testing provides the capabilities of testing under actual operational conditions. Thermal Shock testing is a method applied to greatly reduce this temperature transformation time down to low as a few seconds for each sweep. This can greatly reduce the overall test duration by a number of days, weeks, or even months.
