DO-160 Standard Explosive Atmosphere Test (Section 9) Test Device.

DO-160 Standard Explosive Atmosphere Test (Section 9) Test Device

The DO-160 Standard Explosive Atmosphere Test (Section 9) is a test procedure that evaluates whether electronic devices inside an aircraft can safely operate in the presence of explosive atmospheres. This test is particularly important in the aviation sector as it determines how electronic devices perform in potentially hazardous environments where explosive gases or dust may be present. This test is crucial for aircraft safety, especially in critical areas such as fuel tanks and engine compartments, where the risk of explosive atmospheres exists.

Key Features

• Explosive Gases and Dust: The test simulates the effects of explosive gases or dust on electronic devices. The devices must be able to operate safely under these conditions without causing any hazards.
• Voltage and Current Testing: The electronic devices are tested to see how they respond to voltage fluctuations and current variations in an explosive atmosphere.
• Compliance with Standards: DO-160 Section 9 fully complies with the requirements for explosive atmosphere testing, ensuring that all electronic devices in the aircraft meet safety standards.
• Fast and Precise Testing: The tests are performed with precision and speed, facilitating quick approval and certification of the products.
• Long-lasting and Durable Design: While simulating the effects of explosive atmospheres, the device’s durability and longevity are ensured.

Standard reference

RTCA DO-160 Section 9 defines the Explosive Atmosphere test. Equipment is operated within a chamber filled with a flammable fuel-air mixture to verify that it does not ignite the surrounding atmosphere (no internal arc, spark or hot surface causes ignition). The fuel mixture and operating conditions follow the standard for the relevant category.
