SwRI scientists develop test protocols that combine contamination, pressure cycle, thermal cycle, and vibration in a single test, providing close to real-world test data in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Numerous services to study and evaluate the durability of fuel, air, and lubricant systems and components are offered at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI). These services include:

  • Thermal cycle testing

  • Vibration and resonance evaluation

  • Pressure cycle testing

  • Flow cycle testing

  • Durability simulation

SwRI scientists and engineers develop simulated environments that are sufficient to measure acceptable performance and longevity of:

  • Components

  • Subsystems

  • Final assemblies

For production verification, sufficient environmental stresses are added to detect workmanship or process faults.


For more information about environmental evaluation capabilities at SwRI or how you can contract with SwRI, please contact Xiaojian Tao, Ph.D., at xtao@swri.org or (210) 522-6962.
