The primary objective of thermal altitude testing is to prevent the failure of critical components, which could result in disastrous consequences. By demonstrating that the equipment can reliably operate under any atmospheric or environmental condition, this testing also assures purchasers of the product’s superior quality. Furthermore, thermal altitude testing helps verify that the equipment satisfies the high aerospace standards set by industry experts and regulatory bodies, such as RTCA-DO-160 and MIL-STD-202, which certify that the equipment can withstand the designated conditions.
