Effects of the Environment. This test induces physical changes in or on the materiel that is not stationary. Examples of problems that could occur during this test are as follows: a. Distortion or binding of moving parts. b. Failure of bonding materials. c. Failure of seals. d. Failure of materials due to freezing/re-freezing of absorbed, adjacent, or free water. e. Changes in characteristics of electrical components. f. Electrical flashover/reduced insulation resistance. g. Fogging of optical systems during freeze-thaw transitions. h. Inability to function correctly due to ice adhesion and interference or blockage of moving parts.
