TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENTS AIR FLOW
TEST SYSTEM - HIGH FLOW CONFIGURATION

Aerospace OEMs and their suppliers require quality air flow measurements of passages in both aircraft and land-based turbine engine components.  Each OEM has a unique testing specification and their suppliers must be flexible with the test procedures in order to comply.  Accuracy, repeatability, throughput, and  availability are critical elements in the design of the Test System.   As a “standard” product, these test stands are constantly undergoing system-wide improvements.

TURBINE ENGINE LIQUID FUEL NOZZLE 
TEST SYSTEM

 Aerospace OEMs and their suppliers require quality liquid flow measurements of fuel nozzles in both aircraft and land-based turbine engine components.  This Test Stand is a Liquid Flow Metering System that utilizes a Coriolis flow meter to measure the liquid flow through each Unit Under Test (UUT).  The System Controller Software contains Procedures for Performing the Following Functions: Part Master Routine, System Accuracy Test (Audit Test), Test Scheduler, and System Maintenance.

The FC200-PATS is an Air Flow Metering System that employs one manually interchangeable Sonic Nozzle (Critical Flow Venturi) to meter the air flow through each Unit Under Test (UUT).  The System Controller Software sets the proper pressure at the inlet of the UUT, and calculates the mass flow through the sonic nozzle.  Nozzles range in size from 0.016 to 0.500” throat diameter. 

Ø      Accurate; Highly Repeatable Results.
