Understanding Storage Unit Testing:
Storage containers include a wide variety of products designed for efficient storage in homes, offices, schools and retail These categories include cupboards, shelves, lockers and filing systems among others. It is important that these units be tested for their structural integrity, load carrying capacity, durability and safety features.
Basic testing criteria:
Structural Integrity: Our tests examine the structural stability of storage systems under various loads and conditions. This ensures that the units can withstand specific operating conditions without failure or collapse.
Load-carrying capacity: We look at the maximum load that storage can safely sustain without deformation or damage. Understanding load capacity is important to ensure operator safety and prevent overload accidents.
Durability: Storage units can be used, opened and closed repeatedly. Our durability test simulates these functions to assess the units’ longevity and identify potential weaknesses or damage-related problems.
Safety Features: Many storage units come with safety features like anti-tipping mechanism, secure locking systems and rounded edges to prevent it
Testing Methodologies:
Static Load Testing: We apply static loads to storage units to measure their deflection and deformation under weight. This helps determine their load-bearing capacity and structural integrity.
Dynamic Load Testing: Dynamic load tests involve applying cyclic loads to simulate repeated use over time. This assesses the durability and long-term performance of storage units.
Drop Testing: Drop tests evaluate how storage units withstand impacts and shocks during handling and transportation. This ensures that the units remain intact and functional even after accidental drops.
Environmental Testing: We subject storage units to environmental conditions such as temperature fluctuations, humidity, and UV exposure to assess their resistance to degradation and discoloration.
Functional Testing: Functional tests evaluate the usability and effectiveness of features such as drawer slides, hinges, locks, and adjustable shelves. This ensures that storage units meet user expectations in terms of convenience and functionality.
