Santa Clarita, California

NTS Santa Clarita is one of the largest test facilities in the U.S., covering over 150 acres. From our 50-foot diameter centrifuge with over 200 slip ring channels and 5000 cubic foot acoustic chamber to our 1500 cubic foot space simulation chamber, NTS Santa Clarita is prepared to meet your most extreme testing challenges.

Installed recently is the new Fuel Component Testing site for the development and qualification of fuel line parts and subsystems. Services provided by this new capability will support aerospace and military customers with their critical parts qualification requirements including RTCA DO-160 and Mil-Std-810.

Whether you require small component level testing or massive complex system simulation, our mission is to streamline testing, verification and evaluation processes to reduce cycle time and bring your product to market faster.

Dynamics / Acoustics

The technical experts at Santa Clarita have extensive experience providing a variety of engineering and testing services gained from our support of major aerospace and defense related programs over the last thirty years. These services may be tailored for the commercial market.

Major programs we have worked on include:

From launch-level acoustics, to climatic, environmental, and space simulation to hazardous vibration and acceleration, NTS has the proven track record and expertise to accurately monitor equipment response and performance during the most extreme test environments.

Environmental / Space Simulation

Climatic and Space Simulation provides for demanding test requirements with combined environments of temperature, altitude and humidity.

• Sand and dust chamber provides wind velocities to 4400 FPM for sand/dust erosion testing
• Thermal vacuum chambers provide temperature extremes with combined ambient pressures
• Salt Fog, Sulfur Dioxide and Copper Chloride chambers sized up to 6'x10'x8'
• Explosive atmosphere chambers simulating 100,000 FT and temperatures to -320 degrees Fahrenheit

Mechanical, Fluids and Gas Systems

Our engineers at Santa Clarita also have a thorough understanding of your mechanical, fluid and gas testing needs by:

• Providing pressure, temperature and flow capabilities to meet extreme testing environments with gas and liquids.
• Testing media that includes air, water, seawater, oils, fuels, solvents, cryogenic liquids and others as needed.
• Utilizing computer based data acquisition and control systems are tailored for your application using modular hardware and software systems to meet your automation and data recording requirements at minimum cost.
