Pressure Box Test
Pressure Box Test
(OP)
We are looking at replacing a metal fairing with a fiberglass laminate and the FAA wants us to do a "Pressure Box Test." I can't find any literature on it. Is it a static test or fatigue test? I assume that it is associated with the dynamic pressure at altitude but I don't know if it requires repetitive loading or what.
Any help is appreciated.

Design and Evaluation of Composite Fuselage Panels Subjected to Combined Loading Conditions
I haven't read it myself, but the synopsis mentions pressure-box testing, so it may give you some info. If you have any trouble obtaining it, the paper may be ordered through the Nasa Scientific and Technical Information Service (www.sti.nasa.gov)
Good Luck!
