A test facility is used to test the physical properties and characteristics of products and parts. Various tests are conducted depending on the industry, including performance tests, durability tests, and destructive tests.
The size of the facility varies based on the capacity required for testing. Some facilities occupy entire rooms for a single test, while others are large enough to conduct multiple tests simultaneously. There is a wide variety of test equipment, and specifications may change depending on the sample shape and required accuracy. Test equipment is often considered a fixed asset, with a determined useful life for each type.
In space development, test facilities are crucial due to the harsh environment of vacuum, cryogenic temperatures, weightlessness, and high radiation. Durability tests are essential for space-related parts and facilities to prevent space debris and accidents. For example, thermal vacuum test facilities simulate the thermal environment of outer space and are used for testing.
Electronic devices are tested for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in facilities like anechoic chambers. These chambers are designed to prevent external electromagnetic wave interference, leakage of waves, and internal wave reflection. They are crucial for testing products like antennas and wireless devices.
Test facilities vary across industries and are often tailored to specific test items, sample shapes, and other factors. Facilities like electron microscopes and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) machines are necessary for material and chemical testing.
Test facilities, often expensive and categorized as fixed assets, are subject to property tax and have a specified useful life. The useful life and depreciation expense differ for research and development assets compared to other uses. For example, buildings and facilities like anechoic chambers used in R&D have a useful life of 5 years, while instruments and fixtures have a life of 4 years. It's important to consult with the local tax office for specific classifications and useful life determinations.
