Testing
An aerospace engine is a very complex machine. Many physical parameters are measured at high speeds to characterize engine performance accurately. To meet the growing requirements of aero engine test facilities, data acquisition systems must be able to record, display and process up to 2000 different parameters, varying from pressures, flow rates, vibrations, and temperatures. Real-time sample rates may vary from 10 Hz to several kHz. Continuous testing around-the-clock is putting stringent uptime requirements on the data acquisition system. Q.series X’s accuracy, flexibility, and reliability make it the data acquisition system of choice for the world‘s leading engine manufacturers and test facilities.
The final validation of an engine is usually done by testing the whole engine under realistic operating conditions. The engine is fitted with specific sensors defined by the test objectives, requiring mixed-signal multi-channel data acquisition.
Special engine tests under cruise conditions are performed in high-altitude test facilities where engine inlet pressure and temperature are representative of flights in high altitudes.
Low and high cycle fatigue testing of structures, like engine casings, gas turbine shafts, and new materials using strain measurement to identify stiffness and failure strength.
