Hammer Shock Testing
High impact shock testing, typically referred to as hammer shock testing, is performed on shipboard machinery, equipment, systems, and structures in accordance with MIL-STD-202, MIL-S-901D, and MIL-DTL-901E.
The purpose of the hammer shock test is to verify the ability of shipboard installations to withstand shock loading, which may be incurred during wartime service, due to the effects of nuclear or conventional weapons.
DTB has Navy-approved, in accordance with MIL-S-901D, lightweight and medium weight hammer shock testing facilities.
For lightweight testing, we can accommodate a total of 550 lbs., including all fixturing. For medium weight testing, we can accommodate a total of 7,400 lbs., including all fixturing, as well.
