NTS performs cleaning and analysis of hydraulic components and assemblies in our Class 10,000 cleanroom. Our capabilities include cleaning using aqueous detergents, various compatible solvents or system hydraulic test fluids, proof pressure and leak testing of components or assemblies to 50,000 psi (345,000 kPa) using DI (Deionized) water or hydraulic fluid and 20,000 psi (138,000 kPa) using GN2. Cleaned and tested hardware can be preserved in hydraulic fluid and sealed or simply packaged in nitrogen purged envelopes. Some of the parts NTS has processed for hydraulic service include valves, regulators, accumulators, pistons, actuators, transducers, tubing and piping, control and distribution manifolds, servos and storage tanks.
NTS provides expert service for your on-site hydraulic & lube oil systems and components. Whether it's after new construction, during the modification of an existing system, or simply preventive maintenance, removing abrasive contamination from internal piping and rotating machinery will extend equipment life and prevent premature failures. Using state of the art high capacity pumps and submicron filtration, NTS can circulate inhibited detergents, citric or phosphoric acid, solvents and/or hydraulic fluid or lube oil through a complete system at the equipment operating temperature, pressure, and flow rate to remove unwanted contamination and abrasive particulate that will damage sensitive components, hydraulic pumps, and motors. Typical on-site service areas include hydraulic or lube oil systems at power generation facilities, factories, steel mills, mining operations, launch vehicle ground support equipment, food processing plants, or even entertainment parks. If a complete cleaning, passivation and test are not what you're looking for, NTS can polish existing lube oil or hydraulic fluids in tanks, accumulators, drums or complete systems to remove abrasive particulates and extend the service life of not only the fluid media but of the equipment in which it is used.
