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
