TEST SYSTEMS COMPOSITE PRODUCTION
Test systems for composite production are frequently to check a variety of variables. During (automated) production and re-work/finishing, products have to be tested and if necessary have to be rejected or repaired to meet predetermined measurements and tolerances. Weight (volume fraction), conductivity, dimensions, pressure and leakage are important variables for the production of high specification composite parts. Typical hydraulic fluids like Skydrol ® are commonly used in our (high) pressure test equipment for Aerospace.
Autonational Composites supplies the necessary equipment to achieve your technical specifications. Below you can find some examples of test equipment.

HYDRO-TESTERS FOR LARGE PIPE PRODUCTS
Autonational Composites has developed hydro testers for composite pipes with an adjustable length up to 12 m and a maximum diameter of 4000 mm. These test machines have a clamping force of 1.800 tons. Autonational applies a unique seal system, in which the pipe to be tested is clamped by hermetically sealing the rings under pressure and closing the tube without damage or air inclusion. The machines are automated, meaning that the tube is enclosed, filled, tested and emptied automatic.
