Thermal Performance Testing for Real‑World Reliability
We validate the performance of your cold plates, heat sinks, heat pipes, and vapor chambers under realistic power, flow, and environmental conditions—so your thermal design works not only in simulation, but in the field.

Why Thermal Performance Testing Matters
Close the Loop with Design & Simulation
Our thermal testing is built to validate assumptions from your CFD models and design targets—not just generate numbers.
- Test setups aligned with your boundary conditions
- Correlation back to simulation and datasheets
- Iteration support for design and process changes
Reduce Risk Before EVT / DVT / PVT
Identify thermal risks before you commit to tooling, costly redesigns, or large qualification lots.
- Pre‑EVT functional and stress tests
- Thermal margin assessment and derating
- Support for PPAP and customer qualification plans
Documented, Repeatable, Scalable
Standardized procedures and fixtures allow results to be repeated across builds and over the life of the program.
- Standardized test instructions and checklists
- Calibrated sensors and controlled environments
- Traceable records for audits and future builds

How We Test Thermal Performance
From steady‑state and transient tests to flow and pressure mapping, we build test plans that match how your product will actually be used.
Steady‑State & Transient Thermal Tests
- Controlled power input to emulate real load profiles
- Measurement of temperature rise and thermal resistance (°C/W)
- Step response and transient behavior under changing loads
- Testing at different ambient temperatures and airflow rates
Flow & Pressure Characterization
- Flow vs. pressure (ΔP) curves for liquid cooling systems
- Verification of minimum and maximum flow limits
- Assessment of pump head, NPSH margins, and cavitation risk
- Support for sizing and selection of pumps and valves
Interface & Contact Resistance Evaluation
- Impact of TIM selection, thickness, and installation method
- Clamp force and flatness influences on junction‑to‑plate resistance
- Comparisons of interface stacks (e.g., bare metal vs. pad vs. grease)
Environmental & Use‑Case Testing
- Operation across specified temperature and humidity ranges
- Thermal performance with varying airflow, orientation, or blockage
- Combined tests with mechanical vibration or power cycling
