A Brief Overview On Engine Testing

A Brief Overview On Engine Testing

A recertification test run or NPA tests are a critical procedure. This ensures that a CFM56 engine meets all necessary performance and safety standards. Keep your engines safe after undergoing maintenance, repair, or overhaul. Here’s a brief description of what this process entails:

Preparation

  • Installation: We securely mount the engine on a test stand or test cell. It is equipped with all necessary instrumentation for monitoring performance parameters.

  • Pre-Test Inspection: A thorough inspection is conducted. This helps us verify that all components are correctly installed and that there are no visible defects or leaks.     

Initial Checks

  • System Calibration: All measuring and diagnostic equipment is calibrated to ensure accurate readings.

  • Dry Crank Test: The engine is cranked without fuel to check for proper rotation. This ensures there are no unusual noises or vibrations. 

Start-Up

  • Ignition: The engine is started, and initial readings are taken to monitor basic functions. These include fuel flow, oil pressure, and temperature.

  • Stabilization: The engine is run at idle to stabilize temperatures and pressures.
