Industrial testing company, Resonate Testing has expanded its extensive offering to customers by investing in and commissioning new testing capacity at its base in Newry, County Down.
The Northern Ireland company has recently upgraded its facilities to handle the testing of high-flow, high-temperature aircraft engine oil and fuel components, following a request from a of its global customers. Designed and built by the Resonate Testing team, the high-flow, high-temperature test processes replicate sophisticated real-life engine conditions for modern new aircraft.
Resonate Testing’s new test capability, with the ability to heat and pressurize a low flow volume, will be used during fire testing of aircraft propulsion systems.
Fuel system testing is increasingly critical to aircraft reliability, endurance and safety, and due to the complicated nature of fuel systems, testing must be performed in-situ with comprehensive test protocols that simulate all the internal and external forces that act on the system.
The tests enable new product innovation in support of lighter and higher performance components that must be evaluated before being put into service.
Michael Hudson, Chief Engineer, Resonate Testing, said: “The new testing capability is a great demonstration of our willingness to step up and solve customer problems. It’s further affirmation that the Resonate Testing team maintains a great ability to design, build and install innovative solutions that enable simultaneous testing of aircraft fuel and oil circuits.”
Managing Director Tom Mallon added: “We are constantly reviewing and anticipating the test capability that customers are developing to ensure that aircraft and all their components remain durable, reliable and comply with all industry regulations and guidelines . Part of our USP is our ability to create bespoke tests when needed, and we pride ourselves on our ability to offer clients testing services that others cannot.”
While the company primarily upgraded its facilities to ensure it can conduct this particularly challenging test for one of its large global aerospace customers, the tests can be applied to many different industries.
Known for its high-quality testing services and expertise, Resonate Testing works in a range of industries including aerospace, automotive, medical technology, humanitarian aid, electrical and mechanical, and research and development.
The company is currently in the early stages of planning further upgrades to its facilities later this year, which will further expand its testing and certification capabilities and allow it to continue to offer additional services of high quality testing and certification in all industrial sectors.
Resonate Testing has recently been involved in projects such as the James Webb Space Telescope and ESA’s Lunar Pathfinder spacecraft. The company has a customer base that spans geographically from Europe, USA and Brazil, to Canada and Japan, as well as the island of Ireland and the United Kingdom.
