| Product involves the testing and analysis of detonation/flame arresters. Testing is performed according to standard ASTM, FM, EN, SAE, UL, or custom developed test procedures. Measurements may include detonation/flame speed and pressure wave characteristics. Detonation Flame Arrestors are certified to suppress deflagration and detonation propagation in piping up to 24 inches in diameter. Fuel and air is mixed within flammability limits. Piping length is adjusted to produce deflagration or detonation. Evaluations are conducted with Group C (ethylene) or Group D (propane). Combustion propagation range from low and high deflagrations to stable and overdriven detonations.

 |
| Diesel Aftertreatment Accelerated Aging Cycles (DAAAC) |
 |
| The EPA Final Rule for Emissions Durability Test Procedures (December 2005) provides a Standard Bench Cycle (SBC) for accelerated aging of emissions system components. The SBC can be used in place of the Standard Road Cycle (SRC) that requires vehicles to be driven for 120,000 miles, with periodic emissions measurements. Using the SBC offers significant savings in both time and expense to achieve the certification requirements. However, it cannot be used for diesel-fueled vehicles. Hence, all such vehicles must currently perform the full 120,000 mile SRC procedure. Based on input from industry, there was a strong desire to have a similar Diesel Aftertreatment Accelerated Aging Cycle (DAAAC) for diesel emissions components. At a DAAAC symposium on February 22, 2008, Southwest Research Institute offered the first proposal for an industry consortium to develop DAAAC aging procedures. Given the continued levels of interest in the DAAAC concept, SwRI was encouraged to continue with the initiative. The decision was made to concentrate on heavy-duty diesel aftertreatment systems. A proposal addressing heavy-duty diesel applications was sent out on July 11, 2008. |

| Drilling Hydraulics/Chip Transport |
 |
| We have conducted several projects for oil and gas companies where they are determining the influence of a number of parameters on the transport of drilling cuttings up the annulus of an oil/gas well. These parameters include hole angle, penetration rate, cutting size, drill string rotation rate, drill string size, drill string eccentricity, and drilling mud properties. We have also conducted projects to determine improved geometries for bottom hole assemblies, in order to reduce the torque and drag required to remove a drill string from a hole laden with drill cuttings.

| Drop/Impact Test |
 |
| Drop/impact testing is performed to simulate mechanical shock that products will be exposed to in service. Either free-fall or guided shock testing is performed to provide a broad spectrum of acceleration and duration of the required shock simulation. Guided shock tables and Electrodynamic shakers are utilized on product to provide a finer tuned shock simulation. Mechanical shocks simulated include transportation, product handling, impact, pyrotechnic, and other high accelerations environments. |
