Want to know how healthy or unhealthy your engine really is? Get yourself a compression tester and find out. Despite how complex many modern vehicles are, you can do many common repair and maintenance ...

With every passing day the Mule provides opportunities beyond our original expectations. Since the 467ci engine belongs to HPP editor Tom DeMauro, it is at our beck and call. This affords HPP the ...

Traditional "Old Wives' Tales" and general FAA Advisory Circulars, such as the 60/80 rule for cylinder compression, are often inaccurate for modern piston aircraft engines; manufacturer-specific ...

Getting an engine compression test for your car is a bit like having your blood pressure taken. It sounds complicated without context, but it's a relatively straightforward and painless procedure that ...

Tensile testing, compression testing, ausforming, extrusion, and other hot-forming deformation 3 kW induction heating Thermal chamber for mechanical testing from -130℃ to 350℃ Displacement, load, and ...

Defects can occur naturally during composite fabrication, and damage can be induced by impacts in service, but these tend to be relatively uncontrolled events. It was desired to induce an easily ...

In my previous column on tensile testing (see "Unidirectional composite axial tensile specimens," under "Editor's Picks," at right), I referenced a commonly expressed concern by Hart-Smith 1 and ...

The trend in semiconductors leads to more IC test data volume, longer test times, and higher test costs. Embedded deterministic test (EDT) has continued to deliver more compression, which has been ...
