EVERETT, Wash. – Jamco America Inc. in Everett, Wash., is introducing test and measurement capabilities for mechanical, static load, fire, ballistic, and environmental properties in aerospace, military, automotive, and marine applications.

Jamco test and measurement capabilities can help evaluate products in aerospace applications like passenger seats, attendant seats integrated with a class divider, galleys, bar counters, divider and ceiling panels, and life cycle tests for flight deck cockpit doors.

The Jamco dynamic test facility is an FAA-accepted facility, conducts dynamic test training on behalf of the FAA, and provides consultation for FAA-certification tests.

Materials testing lab

The materials testing lab is for early phases of design to evaluate the mechanical properties of materials like metals and composites to evaluate tensile strength, compression strength, and other properties at room temperature and high temperatures.

The Jamco test facility has an accelerator-type impact system to test products in specified acceleration profiles. It also includes extensive sensors and data acquisition.

The test facilities also offer flammability, heat release, smoke density, and fire containment testing, static load testing, ballistic testing, and product life cycle testing.
