FULL SCALE FATIGUE TEST (FSFT) FACILITY

Component level and full scale structural testing

  Established in 1982

  • Multichannel (37 Channel)Test Controller System
  • 80 Nos. of Servo hydraulic Actuators for load simulation with varying load and displacement capacities
  • Hydraulic power packs of various capacities (from 4 lpm to 260 lpm @ 3000 psi).
  • High speed data acquisition system (upto 1000 channels)
  • Full scale fatigue testing and Life extension studies for fighter aircrafts.
