Acceleration Test Device

(MIL-STD-810H Method 513.8)

(MIL-STD-810G Method 513.6)

Acceleration test devices are essential tools used to evaluate the durability of products. Designed in compliance with MIL-STD-810H Method 513.8 (MIL-STD-810G Method 513.6) and RTCA/DO-160G Section-7 Test Procedure 2 standards, these devices are used to test the performance of products under various environmental conditions.

Acceleration Test and Standards

The acceleration test is conducted to measure how products respond when subjected to sustained (g-level) acceleration. These tests are generally mandatory for products used in the military and aviation industries. Acceleration test devices create simulated environments to determine the robustness and durability of products under sustained acceleration loads.

These test devices comply with the following international standards:

• MIL-STD-810H Method 513.8 – Acceleration test procedures in military standards.
• RTCA/DO-160G Section-7 Test Procedure 2 (Sustained) – Durability testing for aviation equipment.
• IEC 60068-2-6 – Mechanical vibration tests within environmental testing.
• IEC 60068-2-27 – International standard for shock tests.
• EN 60068-2-64 – European standard for broadband random vibration tests.
• ISO 16750-3 – Mechanical stress tests for automotive electronics.

Standard reference

MIL-STD-810H Method 513.8 defines the Acceleration test. Procedure I — Structural Test verifies the item withstands sustained (g-level) acceleration without structural failure; Procedure II — Operational Test verifies it functions during acceleration. The acceleration levels, directions and durations are taken from the platform’s acceleration environment.
