K-VALUE

We have been involved in the design and manufacture of thermal enclosures for static and dynamic environmental testing of aircraft parts for a number of years. Operating in the temperature range of -60degC to +135degC, our tailored, flexible enclosures have enabled our clients to test aircraft parts using a fraction of the amount of liquid nitrogen that would have been needed in a rigid facility . With tests of 100, 000+ cycles, our choice of materials has proven to be ideal in terms of temperature maintenance, durability, flexibility, and resistance to oil, skydrol and other hydraulics leaks. We know the importance of paying attention to detail - wherever possible, we minimise the loss of conditioned air through labyrinth joints and internal flaps.

For larger enclosures, internal ducts are installed to ensure even temperature distribution . k-Value Insulation Jackets and Covers Construction: Fabrics manufactured from heat resistant materials are selected to suit the application and are available in many formats e.g. plain fabric, coated fabric, treated fabric, different weights and colours, etc.

Insulation: Insulation materials include high temperature fibre mats, e glass, silica, para- and meta -aramid felts, mineral wool, closed cell sponge and foam rubbers etc.
