To determine optimum fuel injector spray characteristics, Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) engineers evaluate and measure factors such as:
Fuel Injector Evaluation InstrumentationTo measure these characteristics, engineers use state-of-the-art laser-based systems, high-speed film and video cameras, and laser-strobe photography as part of a wide spectrum of spray instrumentation capability.
Engineers characterizes sprays from all types of spray nozzles and fuel injectors for a wide variety of applications, including:

Fuel and Oil Testing
SwRI offers complete services for research, development, and evaluation of engine oils used in diesel and gasoline engines. Facilities to evaluate lubricants against the American Petroleum Institute (API) "SL," "CG-4," "CH-4," and "C" lubricant categories, as well as the AAMA GF-1, GF-2, GF-3 are available. For European ACEA lubricant specifications, SwRI has installed dynamometer and bench test methods to evaluate service-fill lubricants for gasoline and diesel engines.
