Fuel Nozzle Test Stands. Fully Automatic, Semi-Automatic Angle Devices, and Patternators.

Constant development concurrent with market and client requirements has gained Avtron the reputation for having the best universal fuel nozzle test stands in the world. From small commuter jet engines to massive F119 fuel pumps for the most advanced tactical military aircraft, we have been the preferred provider of fuel nozzle test stands for over thirty years. As an example of client confidence, Avtron fuel nozzle test stands are exclusively used by the world's largest gas turbine fuel system manufacturer, Parker Hannifin Corporation. Test stands with fuel flows from 2 to 8000 pounds per hour, at 10 to 2000 PSIG, using MIL-C-7024, type II or jet fuels are available as standard designs. Other features of our units include:

Independent Dual Fuel Flow Circuits for Fuel Nozzles with Primary and Secondary Flow Requirements

Fuel Temperature Control to +/- 2°F

Electronic Spray Angle Measurement

Airflow Measurement Using Sonic Orifices (Single or Dual Orifice Systems)

Automatic Limit Checking with Pass/Fail Display

Automated Calibration Screens

Easy, Prompt Entry of Test Scripts with Archiving of up to 50 Tests Available to the Operator

Test Data Printing and Networked Data Logging

Turbine Fuel Pressure Test Stand.
The scope of Avtron Turbine Fuel Test equipment is extensive. Shown is a standard Turbine Fuel Pressure Test Stand using Hydrostatic, Mil Spec Fluid and Nitrogen @ 500 PSIG. Applications include any Turbine Fuel System component, nozzles, and system component parts where the CMM requires Hydrostatic or Fuel under pressure test.
Other systems are available for flow testing to 50,000 Pounds @ 2000 PSIG using MIL-C-7024, Type II or Jet fuels, spray pattern testing and pressure testing of all aerospace and industrial gas turbine fuel system components.

Pressure/Temperature Endurance Test Stands

Turbine Fuel Precise Temperature and Pressure Control Components. Testing Capability - 24/7 - 60 Month Duration.

Avtron has the experience with specialized military and commercial qualification test systems. When Pratt & Whitney required a qualification test rig for their F-119 engine oil to fuel heat exchanger, Avtron engineered and manufactured a system to test both qualifications simultaneously. The test required precise JP8 jet fuel temperature, pressure, and flow cycling for ambient room temperature, at low flow and pressure, to over 300°F @ 2200 PSI and 24,000 Pounds Per Hour. Lube flow ramped up to 11,000 Pounds Per Hour @ 350°F. The test system was assembled on-site in a custom designed test room. Avtron built a complete computerized control system with safety systems and sensors within the client's explosion proof facility, providing 24/7 unattended testing.

Fuel Control Test Stands

Fuel Control Test Stand Complex Jet Engine controls can be challenging. Avtron has designed and built test equipment for some of the most advanced requirements. The JFS 190 APU fuel control for the Air Force F-15 fighter is the most complex and difficult to test hydro-mechanical fuel control. Avtron designed and built two fully automatic test stands incorporating automatic governor control ramps (to 11,000 RPM) with full computer graphic displays featuring limit envelopes. Avtron's staff engineered and designed the test stand, built the units in their facility, providing monitored, recorded testing as required by the client's specifications.

Sonic Airflow and Orifice Test Equipment featuring analog, digital, or fully computerized consoles. High accuracy airflow measurement is a specialized skill required for testing any aerospace and industrial gas turbine fuel system component. Avtron literally "wrote the book" on sonic orifice airflow testing. Several standard models are available for single component testing, general purpose airflow measurement, or airflow meter calibration using primary standard sonic orifices. Avtron offers ranges from 0.04 SCFM to over 400 SCFM with pressures to 1500 PSIA.
