Request Testing
Below are the forms to initiate testing at the COE laboratory. Feel free to contact us by e-mail or phone for assistance or clarification with completing the forms. A COE employee will contact you within 24 hours of submitting a form.
Thermal Chamber Testing through ISTA Standard 20 and ASTM D3103, as well as Thermal Simulation, can be performed on packaging or other items using one of our three Environmental Test Chambers. Temperature ranges from negative 50°C up to 100°C can be programmed into the chambers as well as humidity.
Drop testing can be done in either a custom format or following one of the typical testing protocols such as the ISTA drop sequence (ISTA 3A).
R-Value or Thermal Conductivity testing can be performed on solid materials using ASTM method C518 through a Heat Flow Meter or ASTM D7984 through a Hot Disc Analyzer.
Compression Testing as well as all of the standard Corrugated Testing (ECT, FCT, etc.) can be performed up to a force of 2,000 lbs. on items with dimensions less than 13" x 13" x 20".
Infrared Imaging is done using an FLIR camera to photograph or videotape your sample (typically packaging) to show any thermal weak spots in the components. Dry ice is typically added in the case of packaging.

HDA 2023
EFP Temperature Solutions is proud to sponsor the Healthcare Distribution Alliance 2023 Distribution Management Conference and Expo and showcase our products at Booth 308. This year's event will be held in Indianapolis, IN, on March 12-15. The Distribution Management Conference and Expo is HDA's largest supply chain education event, attended by more than 500 manufacturers, distributors, consultants, and third parties who keep the pharmaceutical distribution industry moving. You can learn more about the conference here: 2023 Distribution Management Conference and Expo | Healthcare Distribution Alliance | HDAEFP will present our recent acquisition - NatureKool natural fiber cold chain insulation. NatureKool has a remarkable carbon footprint story that traces back to the agricultural beginnings of renewable fiber resources. We have qualified several shipper sizes for pharma distribution using ISTA Standard 20 practices. Visit NatureKool on the web at: HOME | NatureKool | Eco Friendly Hemp Insulation for Shipping | USA
We will also present our new CRT product - Climatemp. We have also qualified several sizes in this line for temperatures in the 20C to 25C range. To learn more about EFP please visit out website: PharmaTuff Products
