Flow testers are used to conduct accelerated stress tests of multiple components or systems of automobiles during simultaneous exposure to thermal cycling and vibration. The equipment is mainly used to perform flow tests on engine and chassis components if an automobile. The engine coolant pressure of automobiles is also measured using flow tester.

Salient Features

• The test method involves pressure cycle and flow testing of a chilled or heated engine coolant mixture.
• This is accomplished by passing the coolant mixture through radiators, hoses, heater cores and overflow recovery tanks.
• The equipment also requires environmental chambers and vibration controllers as an interface for synchronization to other machines.
• Pump cavity of coolant mixture at high temperature is accomplished by pump selection; pump and plumbing; and suction pressure and relative mounting locations of reservoir.

Applications

The equipment is mainly used in the automobile industry.
