Testing that Reaches the World

Comprehensive Testing Services for Data Center Equipment

Clark Testing provides a full complement of testing capabilities tailored specifically for data centers, ensuring reliability and performance in accordance with industry standards and the various challenges of the operating environment. In today’s fast-paced digital world, the reliability and performance of data centers are paramount. Ensuring the infrastructure operates at peak efficiency and can handle environmental conditions along with the business demands requires state-of-the-art test equipment and experienced technical capabilities for equipment validation services.

Our Testing Solutions

Electrical Testing

  • Power Quality Analysis: Assess voltage, current, and frequency to ensure stable power supply as well as simulation of voltage drop/spike and surge induction.
  • Load Testing: Verify the capacity of your power systems to handle peak loads.
  • UPS and Generator Testing: Ensure backup and bypass power circuits are dependable and ready to activate during loss of power events.

Environmental Testing

  • Temperature and Humidity Withstand: Maintain optimal conditions to prevent overheating and equipment failure when exposed to high ambient temperature and humidity. Reference specifications include IEC 60068, IEEE 650, and Telcordia GR-63 CORE.
  • Seismic Testing:  AC-156 (UBC/IBC), IEEE 344/693, and Telcordia GR-63 CORE seismic test certification services.
  • Airflow Analysis: Ensure adequate cooling and ventilation for maximum efficiency.
  • Vibration Testing: Detect and address any vibration issues that could affect sensitive equipment. Spectrums include sinusoidal, random, SRS, and classic shock.

Equipment Testing for Data Centers

Testing of equipment for data centers is critical to ensure reliability, performance, and compliance in accordance with system requirements and industry standards. The specifications and standards can be broadly categorized into several key areas: power and cooling systems, networking equipment, servers and storage, fire suppression, security systems, and overall data center infrastructure.

  • Cooling Systems
  • Emergency Generators & UPS System
  • Backup Battery Systems
  • Networking Equipment
  • Server and Storage
  • Fire Suppression Systems
  • Overall Data Center Infrastructure

Expertise and Experience: With years of experience in the industry, our electrical and mechanical test engineers understand the complexities of modern data center equipment and systems.

Customized Solutions: Every data center is unique. Clark Testing works closely with our customers to develop test programs to address specific operational requirements and challenges, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

State-of-the-Art Equipment: Clark’s laboratory has test validation equipment and fixtures to simulate the dynamic environment and detect issues before they become problems.

Commitment to Quality: Quality is at the heart of everything we do at our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. From initial consultation to final implementation, we adhere to the highest standards of service and support, ensuring your complete satisfaction.

End-to-End Support: Our relationship begins with test development & planning then includes ongoing support and maintenance during the test and finishes with a final report on the program. We ensure your data center equipment remains in top condition despite the potential exposure to harsh environmental conditions.

Stand-by Diesel Generator - Condition Monitoring.

The Clark Testing’s Condition Monitoring laboratory can conduct the full suite of ASTM diesel fuel testing in order to ensure your standby diesel generator is in optimal condition for cold start during a forced outage.  Our diesel fuel testing service includes the full complement of ASTM tests for Water, Sediment, API gravity, Sulfur, Flash point and Distillation.

Conclusion

Adherence to test standards throughout validation program ensures that the equipment installed in data centers operates reliably, efficiently, and safely, providing the necessary support for critical IT and data center infrastructure.

Testing Services

Seismic

Clark Testing Seismic Testing Laboratory primary Seismic tri-axial shake table is comprised of a 10 x 10 hexagon plate operating on an independent tri-axial hydraulic system. Clark Testing Seismic table is capable of performing seismic testing of large packages up to 20,000 lbs. (total test specimen weight including all fixtures) with ZPA of 1G. Higher ZPA's are achieved with lower weight.

Environmental

Clark Dynamics has the environmental chambers to accelerate aging and validate functional performance for longer plant-life expectancy. Clark can accommodate large component aging for extended periods simulating containment internal conditions as high as 170C.

Structural, Load and Fatigue

Unique to each test specimen are its functional and design-basis lifetime requirements. Clark’s facilities have the equipment and technical expertise to test a variety of components for mechanical fatigue and failure, life cycle, aging, accelerated aging, and simulation.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Common to automated systems and electronics in the industry is the requirement to ensure electromagnetic compatibility of components and mitigate vulnerability to outside sources. Emissions and Immunity analysis provides insight as to the potentially undesirable propagation and reception of electromagnetic energy and radiofrequency interference.

We work closely with you to validate engineering, ensure quality, analyze products and qualify equipment while supporting the time constraints and product cycles that are vital to your success.
