Filtration
Fuel Systems &
Contamination Research
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
Filtration Services
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
