Abstract

An apparatus for single-side, thermal shock testing of a specimen may comprise a base and thermal insulation. The base may comprise an internal cavity disposed within the base. The internal cavity may extend through a first outer surface of the base. A specimen-supporting surface may be recessed within the first outer surface for supporting a specimen within the base to substantially close the internal cavity. The thermal insulation may not substantially cover the first outer surface, but may substantially cover other outer surfaces of the base.
