Cornerstone Valve products are qualified to the same MIL-SPEC test regimes required for shipboard and airborne defense applications.

MIL-S-901D

High-Impact Shock

Grade A shipboard equipment shock qualification — simulates underwater explosion loading on hull-mounted systems.

MIL-STD-167-1

Mechanical Vibration

Type I environmental and Type II internally-excited vibration testing for shipboard machinery and equipment.
