In real-world use, products are exposed to a variety of chemicals on a daily basis. Fluid susceptibility testing evaluates how much damage is done by exposure to liquids, and how product design can help prevent failures by fluid contamination.
Evaluate Fluid Contamination in Aerospace & Automotive Hydraulics
Because most fluid contamination is caused by chemical spills or temporary exposure, our test methods are designed to replicate actual conditions as much as possible. Our engineers can help design a fluid susceptibility test plan that best suits your products, including full immersion (“soak"), partial immersion (“wetted”), or minimal contact (“brushed on”).
ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s fluids contamination testing program is always kept up-to-date with the latest standards from aerospace, defense and automotive industries, including MIL-STD-810, DEF STAN 00-35 and RTCA DO-160. We keep an updated list of specific fluids used for aircraft, engine components and more, so you can always be sure that your results are accurate and relevant.
ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s fluid susceptibility testing advantage
Our fluid susceptibility testing is designed to support your program with versatile test conditions, state-of-the-art equipment, and availability for quick turn-around times. Our experts can perform any required operational checks during a single multi-day test, saving you travel time and cost.
For projects that require additional environmental considerations, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s product qualification labs can perform fluid susceptibility testing in elevated temperatures and specified humidity levels. We frequently run fluid contamination testing in environmental chambers for up to 96 hours, so you can be certain that your results are reliable in real-world conditions.
