Element's experienced engineering staff creates customized solutions for your hydraulic and pneumatic applications, making use of our wide range of facilities and services. We have the expertise you require to solve your hydraulic test requirements quickly and cost-efficiently. Our experience is unique and qualifies us like few others in the industry.

Test media can be air, water, oils, fuels, and synthetic seawater.

Areas of Expertise

Fuel Icing Testing
Element can condition fuel to sub zero temperatures, while maintaining flow and pressure conditions. Calibrated amounts of water are then atomized into the fuel system creating the icing simulation. Samples of the fuel are extracted and analyzed using a Karl Fisher Titration system. This can resolve the water contained in the fuel down to the parts per million

Element can condition high pressure, air, oil, or fuels to extreme high or low temperature conditions while sustaining flow.

System Testing
In addition to testing individual components, the conditions seen in entire systems can be readily reproduced and controlled in a lab operating environment. This capability enables the end-user to obtain a more cost-effective testing solution while also monitoring and observing any synergistic effects.
