SubscribeFAUDI Aviation’s 'Research and Development' division tests on the world’s biggest civil aviation test rig for filtration products
A would-be global player needs innovative products of the highest quality. This also applies to the field of Jet fuel filtration. For its ongoing success with new products, FAUDI Aviation has always maintained its own research and development centre. The research centre run by the Stadtallendorf experts for Jet fuel filtration is equipped with the very latest technical facilities - including the world's biggest civil Jet fuel test rig.
The technical data associated with the filter test rig are impressive in their own right: two tanks, each of which has a capacity of 100,000 litres of jet fuel, two pumps which channel up to 10,000 litres of fuel from the tanks per minute - no wonder that since the plant was commissioned in 1996 it has no equal in the civil market. Technicians and mechanics oversee the fully computer-controlled test runs from a separate control room.
And what is especially significant: the test rig - an in-house development from FAUDI Aviation - allows certification tests in accordance with the strict regulations issued by the American Petroleum Institute (API). Even test runs which comply with the very latest specification 'API 1581, 5th Edition, Type S' can be carried out both for Category C (Civil) and military (M) purposes. That is to say that, thanks to this filter test rig, the quality and safety of FAUDI Aviation products are guaranteed.
Clients are also free to exploit the long-established know-how and the efficient development centre in Stadtallendorf. And many of the clients do just that: up to 2005, even the French Military carried out its tests here. However, in the meantime, that major client has acquired its own test facility, for which FAUDI Aviation also assumed a partner role: many suggestions and ideas for the construction of the French filter test rig originated in Stadtallendorf.
