AEDC High-Temperature Testing Capabilities

Abstract

Testing of equipment and materials at elevated temperatures, requires facilities with special features and capabilities. This report summarizes the AEDC high-temperature facilities testing capability, discussing both the present and future capabilities of existing test units. Adequate information is included to define the thermal, pressure, velocity, and geometrical boundaries. These parameters are indicative of a capability; however, for test planning purposes, a potential user should contact AEDC for an evaluation of requirements, selection of the most suitable facility, scheduling, and costs.
