Premier Control Technologies Fluid Solutions
Test and validation processes are critical for ensuring product reliability, compliance, and performance across sectors such as automotive, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and energy. In the UK and Ireland, these industries demand precision flow, pressure, and dosing technologies to meet stringent standards and accelerate development cycles.
At PCT, we provide advanced solutions for gas and liquid control, leak detection, and environmental simulation—helping engineers achieve accurate, repeatable results in both R&D and production environments.
Leak testing is a critical step in validating pneumatic and hydraulic systems for safety and performance. Traditional methods often require multiple instruments or complex setups, which can slow down testing and introduce errors. By using a single mass flow controller, engineers can perform both pressurisation and flow measurement in one streamlined process. This approach reduces hardware complexity, speeds up test cycles, and improves accuracy—ideal for R&D labs and production environments in the UK and Ireland. With real-time digital feedback and multi-gas capability, modern flow controllers simplify leak detection across a wide range of pressures and flow rates.
Precise fuel flow measurement is critical for engine performance and emissions testing. Coriolis meters provide direct mass flow and density readings for fuels and lubricants.
Chemical compatibility tests demand accurate dosing of aggressive fluids. Fluid Metering ceramic pumps ensure repeatability and chemical resistance.
Stable pressure ensures reliable filtration and membrane performance. Equilibar Back Pressure Regulators provide ultra-sensitive control for dynamic test conditions.
Endurance testing validates pump reliability under continuous operation. Longer peristaltic pumps and Fluid Metering ceramic piston pumps deliver repeatable dosing for lifecycle studies.
Simulation chambers replicate real-world conditions for product validation. Alicat MFCs and Fusion Flow Gas Mixers enable precise gas composition and humidity control.
Battery and fuel cell testing requires accurate gas and liquid flow control. Alicat MFCs and CODA Coriolis meters support hydrogen, air, and electrolyte management.
Monitoring compressed air usage reduces energy costs and supports ISO 50001 compliance. Inline flow meters and leak detectors provide actionable insights.
Thermal tests require precise modulation of pressure and flow. Jordan Valve LowFlow Control Valves deliver stable control for small-scale systems.
