ASTM F3057-14 - MEASURING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING OF GLAZING/GLASSES

Shielding effectiveness test following the Standard ASTM F3057-14:
  • The Standard ASTM F3057-14 is a new and the best method (different from the IEEE-299) focuses on glazings/glasses or glazing configurations at a specified full range frequency from 100kHz to 20 GHz, and covers the determination of the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness.
    This is a component test. It is not applicable to full systems such as walls, floors, ceilings, shielded racks, or window systems and it is used to standardize a measurement procedure for glazings or glazing configurations, with and without coatings, films, interlayers, or other enhancements, as single or insulating units at a standard size and when mounted in a standardized frame.
    EMCTEST Technologies is a leading test laboratory in Italy and Europe for electromagnetic shielding effectiveness testing. Thanks to advanced instrumentation and extensive experience in the field, we perform measurements from 10 kHz to 110 GHz on materials and devices intended for industrial, telecommunications, medical, military, automotive, railway, marine, aerospace, scientific, governmental, and civil applications.

    Typical Test Frequencies

    • Low frequency: 10 kHz, 100 kHz, 500 kHz, 1 MHz
    • Mid frequency: 10 MHz, 30 MHz, 100 MHz, 433 MHz, 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 900 MHz
    • High frequency (RF and microwave): 1 GHz, 1.5 GHz, 2.4 GHz (ISM band), 3 GHz, 5 GHz, 5.8 GHz, 6 GHz, 10 GHz
    • Very high frequency: 17 GHz, 18 GHz, 24 GHz (ISM – Industrial, Scientific, and Medical bands), 26.5 GHz, 30 GHz, 35 GHz, 40 GHz, 50 GHz, 60 GHz (wireless communication and radar applications)
    • Millimeter wave: 75 GHz, 77 GHz (automotive radar systems), 94 GHz, 100 GHz, 110 GHz

    Our test laboratory is equipped to perform shielding effectiveness measurements up to 110 GHz.
