These test methods are used to simulate harsh conditions that automotive surfaces are exposed to such as vehicle washing equipment. The test involves various preconditioning steps such as scribing, immersion, humidity, and thermal soaks (often sub-zero temperatures) prior to high temperature and pressure steam or water spraying.

Assured Testing Services has developed and built a custom testing chamber that provides multi-spec capability in a single integrated unit.  The steam generator and enclosure are designed to meet the requirements of several common OEM adhesion tests and can accommodate larger sample sizes than most of our competitors are able to test.
