Waterproofness Testing
Waterproofness Testing
(OP)
Hi,
I am currently trying to build a small tank to perform drip proof test as per do160g. It is pretty straight forward and simple except that it is very hard to source a supplier to do all the dimple stuff on the bottom sheet not to mention it is brass because its a one of thing. Just out of curiosity has anyone built this tank as a home experiment and do the 0.33 mm holes drip water in all seriousness? Any advice?

We believe to be true what we prefer to be true.
For those who believe, no proof is required; for those who cannot believe, no proof is possible.
Unfortunately, in science what You 'believe' is irrelevant – "Orion"

People generally buy drip boxes, since they're calibrated.

Of course I can. I can do anything. I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!

1. NOTE... PLEASE...
When refering to a spec, identify the spec exactly, at least one time in Your initial statement/question... after that no problem using slang like "do160g" or "-160G", etc.
The spec You are refering to is actually "RTCA DO-160G Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment".
IF You present the exact #/title for a spec/document, article, etc, then it is obvious that You have a serious starting point for the discussion... where others can shoot straight to the topic/source. Using slang or abbreviations straight away without explanations forces us to ass-u-me...
2. Hmmmm...
I wish there was...
This is the appropriate question for an "Aerospace Electronics/Electrical Engineering" forum. There is also a thread regarding circuit breakers [in this "... other topics" forum] that would be appropriate for that hypothetical forum also.
Anyone want to sponsor a "Aerospace Electronics/Electrical Engineering" [or perhaps... "Aero Electrical Systems and Avionics" forum... etc]???

It's not clear there's enough traffic to justify a separate forum.
