Custom aerospace test equipment · Built from your CMM or ATP
We design and build flow benches, pressure test stands, functional test equipment, fixtures, and ground support equipment from your CMM, ATP, drawing, or test requirement — fuel, hydraulic, lubrication and oil, pneumatic, and bleed-air.
Send us the component and the test requirement. We'll engineer the rest.
What we actually do
Send us the component drawing, CMM, ATP, or acceptance requirements. We'll determine the flow path, instrumentation, controls, fixtures, and safety requirements needed to perform the test.
From there we design, build, and document the complete system — and hand you a stand your technicians can run and your quality group can defend.
Who we are
This is a small shop, not a division. The people who read your CMM are the same people who size the flow path, machine the fixture, wire the panel, and run the FAT. You talk to engineers, not a sales desk.
The experience behind the work spans:
You're not only buying stainless tubing and gauges. You're paying so you can hand us a component and six CMM pages and not have to engineer the test system yourself.
Capabilities
Replace obsolete gauges, flowmeters, controls, and instrumentation while retaining the test capability you already rely on. We reverse-engineer existing equipment, rebuild the documentation, and add modern controls and data acquisition — for the bench whose manufacturer is gone, whose drawings are missing, and whose expert retired.
Turbine, Coriolis, and laminar-element flow sections sized to your component and media, with repeatable flow-versus-Δp behavior for production acceptance.
Regulated supply, intensifiers, burst shields, and proof, leak-decay, and cycle sequences with ramp and dwell control. Relief sizing and interlocks are part of the design, not an afterthought.
Pressure-switch actuation and reset points, solenoid and actuator function, RPM, temperature, LVDT position, continuity and insulation checks — the electrical half of the acceptance procedure.
Machined aluminum and stainless manifolds, adapter blocks, AN/MS and dynamic-seal interfaces, and quick-change tooling so one bench covers a family of part numbers.
PLC or embedded control, touchscreen sequencing, recipe per part number, and CSV/PDF test records that drop into your quality system instead of a clipboard.
Reference orifices, calibrated restrictors, master nozzles, and transfer standards — serialized and set up for re-certification on a schedule you control.
Portable pressure and nitrogen carts, hydraulic mules, and ground support test sets built to survive a ramp instead of a lab bench.
Equipment
Most benches on the market make your component fit their plumbing. We start from the component drawing, the acceptance procedure, and the throughput you need, then design the flow path, instrumentation, controls, and fixturing around it.
Don't see your part? If it has a defined acceptance test, we can usually build the equipment for it. Send the procedure and we'll tell you straight whether it's a fit.
How to buy
You don't have to commit to a full test system to start. Most customers begin with a small fixed-price engineering study, get a real scope and price out of it, then issue the build PO with the unknowns already removed.
Fixed price, one line item, one PO. Send the CMM or ATP and we return a scoped concept for the test system.
The study fee is credited against the build purchase order if you proceed.
Request a study quoteReleased P&ID, electrical schematic, fixture and panel drawings, bill of material, and control sequence — reviewable by your engineering group before any metal is cut.
Can be purchased on its own or rolled into the build.
Firm fixed price against the released design, invoiced on milestones you can track: design release, long-lead procurement, assembly complete, FAT acceptance, delivery and SAT.
Acceptance is tied to the FAT criteria written into the quote — not to an opinion.
Specific commercial terms, warranty period, and lead times are set per project and stated on the quote.
Usually on repeatable acceptance time and scrapped-test risk: a bench that matches the procedure removes rework, argument over results, and the hours your engineers currently spend improvising a test setup. The study deliverable gives you the numbers to put in front of your manager.
That's normal, and it's the part we're good at. We flag the ambiguous steps, propose a defensible interpretation, and get it agreed with your engineering authority before design release.
Yes. Modernization is a large share of what we do — new instrumentation, controls, and data acquisition on existing equipment, including reverse-engineering the documentation that went missing.
You receive the complete documentation package for the equipment you paid for, so you can maintain, re-certify, and modify it without coming back to us for a drawing.
Install support and SAT, operator training, a spares list, and a calibration and re-certification schedule. Support after that is a phone call, not a ticket queue.
No. Fixtures, adapters, flow hardware, and single-function test sets are worth quoting, and they're often how a first purchase order gets written.
Documentation
Test equipment is only as good as the paperwork behind it. Each build ships with a controlled document set — drawings, P&ID, electrical schematic, bill of material, calibration requirements, FAT/SAT records, and operating limits — under a document-control numbering scheme that drops into your system.
Instrumentation is calibrated before delivery, with certificates supplied for each device. Where your quality system requires it, we route calibration through an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory with NIST-traceable standards and supply the accredited certificates with the build.
We build ground test and support equipment. Airworthiness approval for installed parts stays with the design-approval holder; we support your certification and quality path with test data and documentation, and work to your engineering authority's requirements.
Process
We read the component spec, CMM, and ATP, then pin down media, ranges, accuracy needs, cycle time, and safety boundaries. You get a requirements matrix and a budgetary number.
P&ID, flow-path sizing, relief and burst analysis, instrument selection, panel and fixture CAD, control sequence narrative. You get a design review package and a firm price.
Fabrication, machining, plumbing, wiring, and software, then FAT against your acceptance criteria with real hardware and recorded data. You get the FAT report and calibration certificates.
On-site SAT, operator training, spares kit, O&M manual. You get a calibration schedule and someone who answers the phone afterward.
Customer project portal
Every project gets a secure login. Engineering shares drawings, CAD models, reports, calibration certificates, and test data as the work moves. You can open CAD models in the browser, read PDFs without downloading them, and send us requirement files directly.
Who we build for
Repair stations that need a bench matching the CMM flow, pressure, and functional steps exactly.
Production acceptance rigs and reference hardware to show equivalence and hold tolerance.
Development rigs for qualification, endurance, and environmental test campaigns.
Hangar-grade nitrogen, hydraulic, and leak-test carts sized to your fleet.
Ruggedized test sets and adapters for field and depot-level maintenance.
Calibrated flow sections and transfer standards to anchor your measurement chain.
Send the acceptance procedure. You'll get a scoped concept and a fixed-price study quote your purchasing group can process as a single line item.
Have a CMM or ATP?
We'll review the test requirements, identify the equipment and instrumentation needed, and develop a concept for the test system. If it isn't a fit, we'll say so instead of quoting it.
