Fluid aging and materials testing is used to assess how a material or product will perform when exposed to particular fluids it may encounter in its final service environment. Accelerated fluid aging tests can be achieved by introducing a heat process into the test environment.
Some of the common fluids tested include:
Some of the common fluids tested include:
- Automotive – oil, coolant, gasoline, ATF, diesel fuel
- Industrial – cleaners, fire suppressant
- Aviation – fuels, hydraulic oils, antifreeze, de-icer, surface cleaner
- Food – milk fats, bovine waste
Industries we serve
Our fluids testing expertise
Our experts can conduct fluid aging testing to specific industry standards — including ASTM, ISO, SAE, Fed, MIL, DEF, FDA, and OEM — or design a custom protocol based on your product or material’s exact service environment. We have years of experience handling industry-specific fluids of all kinds and take steps to ensure a safe working environment every step of the way.Common fluids testing standards
