Development of the General Requirements for Thermal Pressure Chamber

Abstract

Inspection of armament and military equipment (AME) for the quality of manufacture and purpose tasks performance is carried out exclusively through testing. Tasks of conducting tests within the framework of ensuring the implementation of State programs for equipping the Armed Forces of Ukraine with modern armament and military equipment require proper instrumentation of the laboratory and test base of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is necessary to determine during tests numerical indicators of technical and operational characteristics in accordance with requirements of state standards parallel to standards of world’s major economies to evaluate new, upgraded armament, armament with service life extension and procured armament.
 During the study, general scientific methods of information processing and systematization were used, in particular system analysis and synthesis of organizational and technical systems.
 The purpose of the article is to improve the quality of testing of new and modernized pieces of AME by developing general requirements for a thermal pressure chamber.
 A study was conducted to substantiate the composition of the thermal pressure chamber, its main tasks, objects of action, capabilities, conditions of application, requirements for interaction with control systems or other objects with which the system is combined. Based on the analysis, the article proposes general requirements for a thermal pressure chamber, which will improve the quality of testing of new and upgraded pieces of AME; reduce material and technical expenditures and reduce the time of AME testing.
