Practice:
A small test fixture has been specifically designed for conducting vibration/thermal tests on small test specimens such as ignitors and detonators. This test fixture creates much smaller loads and less hostile thermal environments for the vibrator table armature thus creating a more reliable test set up. In addition, this small test fixture provides much more rapid and accurate thermal transfer to a test specimen which results in more data points for the same test times and more accuracy and reliability in the test data.
