Engineering, Design & Test Capabilities


Our engineering, design and test capabilities meet the needs of our sophisticated customer base, and form a strong foundation for our pedigree of product technologies.

The rigorous performance modeling and design software that we use in our product realization process includes...

  • Pro|Engineer Wildfire 4.0 for three-dimensional modeling
  • Auto Desk Inventor for two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional modeling
  • ESI CFD Cadalyzer for stress and computational fluid dynamics models
  • FEMM 4 for two-dimensional electromagnetic finite element analysis
  • HP Vee and Labview for data acquisition in our engineering test cell

 

For further product development and final performance testing, we have the following resources...
Flow benches dedicated to:
  • Stoddard solvent
  • Skydrol
  • Mil-H 5606 Hydraulic Oil
  • Water
  • Pressures up to 11,600 psi

Pneumatic test stands:

  • Capable of 1,000°F
  • Pressures up to 20,000 psi
  • Explosion proof off-temp pneumatic and Stoddard test room
  • Interchangeable test fixtures in our modular assembly cells
