If there is anything to know about the aviation industry, “timing is everything”. Everything in the aviation industry works in timely unison. This even goes as far as product development and testing. Hydraulics plays a humongous part in flight safety and performance, and are responsible for functions from engine startups to dropping, lifting and securing the landing gear. As you can understand the quality and durability of the hydraulic oil is a big part in the overall functionality in not only the hydraulics but the overall flight in general.
This is why Hydac has designed a new portable measuring unit for hydraulic oil testing. The Hydac AHG8211 is a recommended tool in the AIRBUS Tool and Equipment Manual (TEM) and the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM). As part of the standard plane inspection the hydraulic fluid goes through a scrutiny of tests, often sent to laboratories for analysis, which can take up to 7 days. Not time friendly. Hydac is introducing a testing/measuring device which can produce the same tests and provide an APPROVED or NOT APPROVED result in just 15 minutes. This is huge the timeliness of the aircraft inspection.
Below are some of the specifics of the product:
