Introduction
The Vacuum Test Rig is a precision-engineered testing platform designed for simulating high-altitude conditions in controlled environments. Developed specifically for the aerospace sector, it replicates atmospheric pressures corresponding to altitudes up to 60,000 feet (18.2 km), enabling the rigorous evaluation of aerospace valves and components. It supports critical test procedures such as leakage detection, pressure response verification, and real-time flow rate analysis. Its robust construction,
integrated safety systems, and optional automation make it an indispensable tool for aerospace OEMs, MROs, and test labs.

Key Features
 • Altitude Simulation: Accurately replicates conditions from sea level to 60,000 feet, covering the entire operational envelope of commercial and defence aircraft.
 • Dual-Chamber Design: Includes independent cabin and altitude chambers to simulate realistic inter-compartment pressure differentials.
 • Adjustable Flow Control: Delivers flow rates from 0.3 to 20 kg/min, ideal for both low-leakage and high-throughput applications.
 • High-Precision Instrumentation: Integrated pressure transmitters, differential sensors, and digital mass flow meters from reputed brands like WIKA, Bronkhorst, and Siemens.
 • Advanced Safety Mechanisms: Equipped with pressure relief valves, interlocks, and emergency shutdown features.
 • User-Centric Interface: Digital control panel with manual overrides for intuitive operation and full process visibility.

Applications
 • Aerospace Valve Testing: Cabin pressure regulators, ECS valves, safety relief valves, and fuel system components.
 • Leakage Detection: Identify micro-leaks under altitude-induced pressure differentials.
 • Flow & Pressure Characterization: Analyze behavior under dynamic flow conditions and verify regulatory compliance.
 • Component Qualification: Supports endurance, response, and environmental testing for
OEM validation.
