Environmental Control

The ATL can accommodate requirements for contamination control and electrostatic discharge (ESD) control.

Environmental conditions, including humidity levels in the ATL test chamber, are maintained, monitored, and logged during testing and when critical test articles are resident in the test chamber.

Humidification and dehumidification capabilities allow the ATL to maintain conditions that support contamination control and prevent electrostatic discharge problems.

ATL's testing procedures may also involve the use of grounding wrist straps, smocks, gloves, and hair covers, as specified by customer requirements or by ATL's policies for handling critical test articles, particularly fight hardware.
