Automotive Hose Test

From hydraulic hoses to coolant, brake and oil lines, EUROLAB offers the automotive industry a wide range of hose tests to a wide variety of standards. Our specialists evaluate all parts of the production process, including materials used in assembly and hose construction.

Our testing services ensure that your hose products meet the performance and durability requirements you and your customers depend on.

Hoses are a critical component of engines and power systems, and their integrity is vital to the performance of fluid movement in vehicle cooling, lubrication and hydraulic systems. It sends pressure or vacuum signals to control circuits and indicators and transmits vacuum to heating, cooling, braking and locking systems. Small cracks in a hose can cause a burst hose and overheated engine, which can cause vehicle failure.

EUROLAB offers a comprehensive automotive hose test package that includes all types of hoses, assemblies and connectors, whether brake, coolant, fuel, hydraulic, pressure, water or pneumatic. Our material testing specialists specialists are trained to evaluate almost any material, from nylon to polyurethane, polyethylene, PVC and synthetic or natural rubbers.

In addition to assisting manufacturers in research, design, product performance and failure analysis, EUROLAB experts also advise law enforcement, insurance and litigation cases.
