Hydraulics Testing Services

Element U.S. Space & Defense provides specialized hydraulics testing services for fluid power systems, which are critical in various industries, including aerospace. These systems are often chosen for their ability to deliver high force and torque in a compact, lightweight package, making them suitable for applications where mechanical and electrical power transmission methods are impractical. The testing ensures that components like valves, actuators, cylinders, and accumulators perform reliably and have a reasonable lifespan. Testing is typically conducted using complex test stands that supply fluid at required flows, pressures, and temperatures. Tests can also be performed within temperature test chambers to control ambient conditions, and multiple environments such as temperature, humidity, pressure (altitude), and icing can be combined. Test durations can extend for hundreds or thousands of hours, with a focus on maintaining system integrity and safety while collecting data to validate results. Element U.S. Space & Defense has nearly fifty years of experience, is a Verizon Independent Test Laboratory (NEBS Program), and holds ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. Their client list includes major players in the space and defense sectors such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, US Department of Defense, Collins Aerospace, ViaSat, Inc., Raytheon, Pratt & Whitney, Northrop Grumman, L3 Communications, Eaton Aerospace, and Aerojet Rocketdyne.
