Element’s automotive hose testing services meet various standards that cover hydraulic hoses to coolant, brake, and oil lines. Our experts evaluate all parts of the production process, including assemblies and the materials used for the hose construction.
Automotive hoses are a critical component of engines and power systems, and their integrity is vital in the performance of fluid movement in vehicle cooling, lubrication, and hydraulics systems. They send pressure or vacuum signals to control circuits and gauges and convey vacuum to heating, cooling, brake, and locking systems. Tiny cracks formed from the inside of a hose may result in a burst hose and overheated engine, which may lead to a vehicle failure.
Element combines more than 40 years of testing experience in the automotive industry with state-of-the-art laboratory testing to offer accurate and reliable automotive hose testing services that ensure your hoses will work under the most extreme standards.
