Accurate identification of customer requirements with regard to the research and testing services planned is essential for achieving satisfactory results in the subsequent tests.
A very detailed research and testing concept prepared in cooperation with customers ensures right from the beginning that the test results will bring them a tangible benefit in future work.
Project planning
Project planning in advance includes the following topics:
- Planning and development of new measuring and testing methods (if required for the pro-ject in question)
- Identification of interfaces (e.g. power supply connections, fixtures in test sections)
- Testing procedure (sequence of tests, resource planning etc.)
- Detail planning, e.g. specification of measurement points, drawings of test setups and auxiliary structures
Project handling
Projects are handled in close cooperation with the customers‘ specialists. The manufacturers themselves are usually present throughout the testing period since the test objects are mainly prototypes or vehicles of the first series.
The measurement data must be recorded online and analysed immediately in order to be able to take the test results into account in subsequent investigations. This allows adaptations and optimisation options to be checked immediately and efficiently.
24-hour operation
Climatic wind tunnel tests can be extremely time-intensive, in particular for large test objects, because of the long adaptation processes and settling times involved in producing the climatic conditions desired. Tests in the Vienna Climatic Wind Tunnel are therefore performed 24 hours a day, 6 days a week, thus considerably extending the effective testing time for the client.
Documentation
After completion of the tests, the customer receives a test report or test documentation (in German or English) as well as electronic PDF files containing measurement data, video and photo material on electronic data carriers. Functional tests require clear visual documentation of the test procedure. Tests are therefore recorded on photo and video and the recordings are made available in digital form. It goes without saying that all customer data and test results are treated confidentially and all our staff are bound to secrecy.
Support of marketing activities
We gladly support any accompanying marketing activities and events. The Vienna Climatic Wind Tunnel offers a wide range of opportunities to present the climatic tests and their benefit as a quality assurance measure the final customers or the broader public (photos, videos, media relations, event organisation).
