Key facts
- Published laboratory and site
- Young Calibration says its test and calibration facilities are in Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, and identifies its thermal-fluids testing laboratory as a facility for fluid-system and electromechanical component testing, development and durability work.
- Published thermal-testing focus
- The thermal testing page describes evaluation, validation, testing and benchmarking of heat-transfer and fluid-flow components, including thermodynamic characterisation of heat exchangers and systems.
Testing capabilities
Thermal-fluid component testing
The laboratory page lists heat-exchanger calorimetric benchmarking, pressure-drop mapping, cooling-pack assessment, fan-efficiency testing, ductwork flow profiling, heat-exchanger CFD-model validation and thermal imaging studies.
Component durability testing
Young Calibration says the thermal-fluids testing laboratory has durability rigs for thermal cycling, pressure cycling, vibration and corrosion of fluid-system and electromechanical components.
Equipment and published limits
| Specification | Published value | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Published thermal and durability test rigs | Three calorimetric test rigs and seven durability test rigs | Young Calibration attributes these counts to heat-exchanger thermal characterisation and durability work covering thermal cycling, pressure cycling, vibration and corrosion. Confirm the applicable rig, component envelope, fluids, conditions, instrumentation, availability and acceptance directly with the laboratory. |
| Published modular thermal-testing system | Two wind tunnels; coolant, oil, fuel and chargecooler modules; data-acquisition and control systems | The thermal testing page lists these elements for its purpose-built flexible modular control system. Confirm the applicable module combination, ranges, tolerances and simultaneous operating conditions directly with the laboratory. |

The operator’s current about page is used for the test-facility location, thermal-fluids laboratory purpose and published calorimetric/durability rig counts. Its ISO/IEC 17025 statement is explicitly for Calibration Laboratory 0604 and is not presented here as accreditation of component testing.
The current laboratory page is used for thermal-fluid component testing, named methods and systems, operator identity and the quote/contact route. It does not establish accreditation of the testing work, guaranteed availability, price, lead time or acceptance for a particular programme.
