We perform testing by SAE ARP6179 to evaluate the compatibility of elastomer O-rings used in gas turbine engines with lubricants and reference fluids. This test method provides procedures for exposing specimens of elastomer materials (AS 568-214 size O-rings) representative of those used in gas turbine engines to lubricants or reference fluids under defined […]

We perform HLPS testing to evaluate the coking propensity of aviation lubricants under single phase flow conditions found in parts of gas turbine engines. A lubricant’s tendency to form deposits in an engine oil system is a critical factor that can influence engine design, engine performance, and maintenance intervals. This method […]

We perform hydraulic fluid quality testing by FTM 3012 to determine whether aerospace hydraulic fluids meet the NAS 1638 cleanliness standard. NAS 1638 is not a test method, but is a cleanliness standard for hydraulic fluids used in aviation applications.  It is widely used in industrial and aerospace applications. The particle count is determined […]

We perform lubricants testing by military specification MIL-PRF-8188, which covers a corrosion-preventive oil. This military specification covers the requirements for one type of corrosion-preventive oil intended for preservation of specific models of aircraft turbine engines, helicopter transmissions, accessory and auxiliary power units, and other types of equipment which require a synthetic […]

We perform lubricants testing by military specification MIL-PRF-7024, which covers three types of calibrating fluid used in aircraft fuel system components. The following is a list of tests required by Specification MIL-PRF-7024F. Some of these tests are customized for this exact specification. We specialize in unusual and custom testing, and our testing […]

We perform testing by military specification MIL-PRF-680, which covers solvents made with petroleum distillates and used for degreasing machine parts for. These degreasing solvents consist of five types of petroleum distillates.  The following is a list of tests required by Specification MIL-PRF-680C. Some of these tests are customized for this exact specification. […]

We perform lubricants testing by military specification MIL-PRF-5606, which covers hydraulic fluid used in automatic pilots, brakes, and other systems. This military specification describes the characteristics and provides the requirements for a petroleum base hydraulic fluid for use in the -54C to +135C temperature range. The hydraulic fluid covered by this […]

We perform quality and conformance testing by Military Specification MIL-PRF-23827, which covers a low-temperature grease used on aircraft and instruments. This lubricating grease is identified by NATO G-354. This grease is intended for use in ball, roller and needle bearings, gears, and on sliding and rolling surfaces of equipment such […]

We perform testing by military specification by MIL-PRF-16173, which covers general purpose solvent-dispersed corrosion preventive compounds.  The following is a list of tests required by Specification MIL-PRF-16173E. Some of these tests are customized for this exact specification. We specialize in unusual and custom testing, and our testing capabilities are continuing to expand; […]

*PLEASE NOTE: Sample must be received in a sterile container separate from any sample for additional testing to prevent contamination* We perform quality testing by ISO 11500 to determine the particulate contamination in hydraulic fluid using a liquid automatic particle counter (APC). The APC works on the light extinction principle, and has […]

*PLEASE NOTE: Sample must be received in a sterile container separate from any sample for additional testing to prevent contamination* We perform lubricants quality testing by ISO 4406 to measure the particle contamination in hydraulic fluids. The final results are reported using a scale showing particle contamination in certain ranges depending on […]
