Thermal shock test apparatus and the method of testing
 A thermal shock apparatus comprises a hot gas stream impinging means, a hot gas stream impinging control means, a positioning means for the hot gas stream impinging means, and a sample holding means. A sample is subjected to an essentially instantaneous impingement of a hot gas stream upon a predetermined area of the sample when a heat gun is moved past heat deflection foils and positioned above the sample causing a thermal shock within the sample.
