	Using up-to-date instrumentation and laboratory facilities, SwRI staff members design and test air, fuel, and lubrication filtration systems and components.

Filtration plays an important role in delivery systems for:

Fuel
Air
Lubricants

Proper filtration strategies help industry reduce or eliminate malfunctions of:

Air induction
Fuel delivery
Lubrication components

Using advanced small particle and filtration-assessment technologies, Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) engineers provide the following services:

Particle-loading pattern analysis
Dust-loading pressure drop testing
Dust-loading capacity measurement
Filtration efficiency testing
Media testing
