THERMAL VALIDATION is the process of establishing an evidence to demonstrate that a process carried out in a defined manner can consistently produce desired results complying with its pre-determined process application & quality aspects.
One of the objectives of Thermal Validation of equipment & rooms is to ensure that the process parameters have been adequately & uniformly distributed throughout the useful workspace under empty & acceptable extreme test conditions & Thermolab Testing does exactly that for its customers in India & abroad.
Thermolab testing’s scope of services are designed to ensure reliable & precise measurement results traceable to National / International Standards.
Services offered by Thermolab Testing:
A team of trained & dedicated professionals carry-out testing of process, laboratory & scientific equipment & rooms under Thermal Validation to evaluate some critical parameters like FO, FH, Fd, Lethality, Lag time, Uniformity, Mean Kinetic Temperature & Hot & Cold Spot as applicable.Thermolab performs Thermal Validation for a wide range of equipments & rooms & assure 100% reliable results.
