Colfax Fluid Handling and our Tushaco business have
established testing capabilities in Mumbai, India that
meet the stringent international testing standards to
which navies throughout the world subscribe. These
include ABS,NATO, ISO, DNV,DIN & MIL specifications.

t test – a test that ensures a pump performance at
Tilt
20° in all directions

Positive displacement pumps used in naval applications
must be tested and certified to international standards,
ensuring that they meet the exacting requirements of
war ships and military vessels. Regional access to testing
and certification is critical. When new or remanufactured
pumps are required for shipboard duty, it’s neither practical
nor timely for testing and certification to be done half a
world away.

t
Endurance test – a rigorous performance test that
operates a pump for 24 hours and/or 100 hours at
duty pressure

t
Mechanical vibration test – a test that monitors
pump performance while operating under vibration
to ensure integrity

t
Environmental tests – various tests that make certain
that equipment operates properly under on-board
ambient conditions

t Borne Noise (ABN) and Structure Borne Noise
Air
(SBN) – ABN tests are carried out to MIL-STD-1474D
and SBN tests carried out to MIL-740-2 (SH) standards

VIBRATION ISOLATED TEST STAND

BUILT TO WORLD-CLASS CAPABILITIES
Specifically designed for the Indian market, based on
designs established in France and the United States,
Colfax Fluid Handling now offers a Vibration Isolated Test
Stand at the Mumbai facility. The Stand provides positive
suction to pumps undergoing tests through the application
of 5,000 liters of ISO VG 68 stored at a height of three
meters. Suction and discharge lines are permanently fixed
at heights that ease operation. Optional water testing may
also be performed. Cast-iron 1.8 ton platforms are mounted
on specially-designed shock mounts to isolate surrounding
vibrations that help ensure accurate testing. Each platform
is designed to accept additional two ton loads. Platforms
are machined with t-slots to allow base frames of pumps
and motors to be clamped.
