heat test

High-temperature evaluation procedure

A heat test is an assessment of how a material, product, or system performs under elevated temperatures.

Manufacturers use heat tests to verify durability, safety, or compliance with standards: The wiring passed the heat test at 150 degrees.

In cooking, a heat test checks whether oil or a pan has reached the right temperature for frying.
