Temperature & Cycling

How temperature affects protective cases: resin behaviour at low and high temperature, pressure differential, gasket set and valve selection.

What we look at

  • Low-temperature impact behaviour of the resin — PP generally retains toughness better than ABS
  • High-temperature softening, which matters when a case is stacked in a container in direct sun
  • Pressure differential between a hot case cooled quickly, and the vacuum lock that follows
  • Gasket compression set after prolonged storage closed
Verification policy

Only tests actually performed are described with figures. Where no test record exists for a model we say so, and quote the test as a separate work package.
