Test Background
Marine equipment mold testing is mainly used to identify the degree of mold growth on ship equipment, components and materials under climatic conditions conducive to mold growth and the surface changes or performance effects caused by mold growth.
Zhongke Testing Environmental Reliability Experiment Center has various ship equipment environmental testing equipment, with the ability to test Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus versicolor and other molds, and provides professional ship equipment mold testing services for complete ship equipment, components and materials.
Environmental Effects
Mold growth will change the physical properties of equipment and materials, causing the equipment to lose its proper functions and affecting its use.
1. The direct destructive effect of mold growth on materials: Mold can easily directly attack materials that are not resistant to mold, causing the materials to decompose and use them as food, resulting in significant deterioration of the physical properties of the materials.
2. The indirect destructive effect of mold growth on materials: When mold grows on dust, grease, sweat and other dirt attached to the surface of equipment or materials, it will damage the underlying material that is resistant to direct erosion.
3. Physical impact of mold growth on equipment: Direct or indirect invasion by mold will damage electrical or electronic systems, reduce the insulation resistance on the surface of insulating materials, and affect the electrical performance of precision-regulated electronic circuits.
