Jounce and rebound testing subjects our brake lines to rigorous testing to ensure durability, flexibility and resistance to deformation during wheel movements. This test ensures reliable and safe braking performance for real-world driving conditions.
Hot impulse testing subjects our automotive components to cyclic heating and pressurization to evaluate their durability and performance under high-temperature conditions experienced during extended operation.
Whip Testing aims to assess the durability and performance of motorcycle brake hoses under dynamic conditions, including vibration, shock, and rapid flexing to ensuring they can withstand similar stresses without failure or leakage during motorcycle operation.
We subject our components extreme temperatures ranging from -75°C to +260°C. This test allows us to assess the performance and reliability in both hot and cold environments.
Our brake hoses and other automotive components are subject to increasing internal pressure until it ruptures or bursts in order to determine the maximum pressure holding capacity before a failure or leakage occurs.
Brake hoses consist of multiple layers, including inner tubing, reinforcement layers, and outer covers. The adhesion test ensures that these layers are securely bonded together and can withstand the stresses and pressures experienced during braking without separation.
A process used to measure the dimensional changes of a material or component under specific conditions, typically exposure to various environmental factors or stressors to test stability, performance and durability over time.
Deformation testing assesses the material’s response to applied loads, ensuring the automotive component maintains its structural integrity under stress without excessive distortion.
Bending resistance testing evaluates the material’s ability to withstand bending forces, critical for components subjected to bending during operation, such as brackets or suspension elements.
Fuel resistance testing examines the component’s compatibility and resilience when exposed to fuels, guaranteeing its performance and safety in fuel system applications.
Pressure impulse testing measures the component’s capacity to withstand sudden pressure changes, simulating real-world scenarios like rapid valve closures or braking, ensuring reliability and preventing failures.
