Cold Flow Static Nozzle Thrust Stands
Channel 7/8/12 Cold Flow Static Nozzle Test Stands
Channels 7/12 - Typically used to evaluate single, or dual stream plus core vent exhaust system performance at static conditions. Exhaust system models are mounted on a direct connect balance. A three component force balance measures thrust, normal force, and pitching moment. An ASME flow meter determines the mass flow delivered to the facility control volume and the incoming momentum needed for the force balance equation.
Channel 8 - Typically used to evaluate single or multiple stream exhaust system performance at static conditions. Exhaust system models are mounted on a direct connect 3 or 6 component balance. An ASME flow meter determines the mass flow delivered to the test article. A test chamber and vacuum system can be configured for high NPR simulation.
Optical Measurements
Flow Visualization services include PSP (Pressure Sensitive Paint), Lamp Black, Shadow Graph and Shlieren images of the nozzle flowpath.
Calibration Services
Engine Test Inlets, Engine Bellmouths, Duct Calibrations, Pitot Static Tubes, Instrumentation Rakes, Flow Angle Probe Calibrations and more.
Modular Test Stands
We would like to collaborate to find a test solution to your development challenges. Facilities can accommodate a variety of other types of flow testing.
- Modular Test Stands (customizable)
- NPR up to 1000 (CH 8 - dependent on throat areas of the test article)
- Three or Six Component Balances
- Metered Flow Measurements (up to 40 pounds per seconds)
- Pressure and Temperature Measurements
- High Speed Data Systems
- FreeJet for High Speed Probe Calibrations
- Exhaust to Atmosphere or Vacuum
- High Altitude Simulation (Test Cabins Available)
