Product  Testing

The product test laboratories at Trelleborg Sealing Solutions continually test our seals and bearings to prove performance capabilities in service and identify the limits of each product. In-house custom-designed test equipment is used alongside application testing through customer partnerships.

Typical test parameters include:

• Helium leak testing
• High and low vacuum and pressure
• Compatibility to a wide range of fluid media
• Short term screening and long-term endurance
• Compression set and Compression Stress Relaxation

Outputs include the condition of the seal, process media and mating parts, leakage and friction. Semiconductor design and application engineers work closely with test engineers to ensure that test and application environments are closely matched.

Final validation of seals and bearings should always be conducted by the customer in an application test. However, the aim of our validation processes is to ensure that customer tests are successful first time and ultimately, that the most effective solution is specified.

Key Benefits of our product testing:

• Customized test methods aim to replicate semiconductor application conditions
• Proven solutions with defined performance potential
• Reduced development time
• Increased confidence in the selected solution
• Global coverage for product testing; Americas, Asia and Europe
• Continuous testing
