It is often difficult to determine and prove performance criteria and behaviour when developing a new product. How will it behave? How will it perform? What cycle time is necessary to ensure repeatable results? Once optimised, how to meet pre-production requirements.
Additionally, there are instances when parts are dismantled for remanufacturing. Which parts still have a useful service life thus saving money and as importantly, waste? Subcontract testing may provide the answer needed.
We have the following facilities which we can offer for prototype and pre-production testing*.
|
hydraulic pressure testing. |
Up to 3000 Bar, measurable from 0.01 cc/min up to 20cc/sec and higher. |
|

Up to 500 Bar. |
|
temperature range. |
Ambient to 60°C. |
|
viscosity range. |
0.8 to 120 cSt. |
|
pressure stability. |
Better than +/-0.1 bar for steady state conditions. |
|
flow rate. |
Up to 100 l/min depending upon pressure. |
|
