We take for granted the flow of fuel, water, and other fluids in our homes and earth-bound vehicles. But, subjected to extreme temperatures or gravity or pressure loads, such as in aviation and space flight, the workings of a hydraulics system can alter dramatically.
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 hydraulics testing laboratories
Using a range test media that includes water, oils, fuels, and synthetic seawater, Element engineers evaluate hydraulics systems to meet quality and performance standards in aerospace, automotive, marine, military, and other industries. Contact us today to learn more.
