Product Development
With decades of industry experience, Hinman has become a trusted resource for market-relevant anti-explosion products of the highest caliber. Our approach to product development is comprehensive, encompassing market assessment and sizing as well as product development and validation. Our work frequently involves analytical and physical modeling; we also develop simplified design tools and software to predict various configuration behaviors.
When explicit physical testing is required, we coordinate programs which may include:
- Developing and overseeing test programs
- Advising on appropriate facilities
- Developing finite element (FE) models to reduce the number of physical tests required
- Interpreting physical test results
- Calibrating FE models to physical results
- Developing simplified software tools to predict the performance of the product over a range of applications
