About us
The SSP Engineering Lab is an A2LA Accredited testing laboratory focusing on the testing, development, and qualification of aircraft hardware. This focus has allowed the testing facility and its members to have a greater understanding in systems specialized for aircraft usage, and ultimately set it apart from other competing testing facilities. Our facility specializes in:
– Vibration Testing
– Mechanical Shock Testing
– Fire Proof/Resistance Testing
– Temperature and Humidity Testing
– Continuous Flow Testing
– Static Pressure Testing
– Tensile Testing
– Fatigue Testing
The SSP Engineering Lab has a talented group of members with a range of experience allowing the lab to specialize in a range of complex tests. Our test technicians have over 50 years of combined product qualification testing experience, and possess a fundamental understanding of standard testing requirements and guidelines.
