Environmental and Fluid Conditioning Services
The global automotive and aviation markets are imposing ever increasing product qualification requirements, ensuring that automotive and aerospace components are fully compatible with the demanding environments in which they operate. Automotive and aviation products must be able to perform with exacting combinations of resistances to heat and various fluid exposures. Among the wide range of testing and consulting services available from Smithers Rapra, we have the capacity to provide fluid susceptibility testing to a number of recognized automotive and aerospace standards, or to customer specific parameters. Our test equipment has been developed and proven to satisfy demanding testing criteria.
We have available an extensive range of fluids, including but not limited to:
- Hydrocarbon fuels
- Hydraulic, brake, and transmission fluids
- Anti-freeze
- Biodiesel
- E10
- E85
- Diesel
- AVGAS
- Fuel vapor
Exposures to these fluids can be applied over a broad range of temperatures. Components or material samples of various dimensions and geometry, ranging from fabrics to large components, can be tested in various chamber sizes. In addition, our laboratories offer an extensive range of product testing capabilities.
