Riverbend Energetics employs advanced Thermal Transient Test (TTT) instrumentation and analytics as a key quality assurance method for evaluating the thermal integrity of electrically initiated devices. A TTT is a non-destructive diagnostic method that identifies potential production anomalies without damaging or compromising the device, making it essential for high-reliability systems.

Innovative Testing for Reliable Production

Innovative Testing for Reliable Production
Thermal Transient Testing helps detect issues such as bridge wire welding irregularities, inconsistent powder packing, defects in power preparation or coating, and poor thermal contact between bridge wire and powder. By flagging these issues early, Riverbend ensures our devices meet functional and safety expectations prior to delivery. Since 2020, our investment in TTT instrumentation has enhanced our ability to maintain rigorous manufacturing controls.
