Automotive Wind Tunnel and Road Test Equipment
Scanivalve pressure scanners are used in automotive wind tunnels worldwide to improve the efficiency and vehicle dynamics of race and production autos.
For production car development, automotive wind tunnel tests
help designers create the ideal blend of aerodynamic efficiency
with pleasing aesthetics. In race car development, wind
tunnel tests provide designers with the critical information needed
to design the ultimate aerodynamic profile to maximize performance
and tune the vehicle dynamics. Scanivalve equipment is used
by several major F1 wind tunnels, as well as other open wheeled
category teams and stock car teams participating in NASCAR series
races. For the most critical of tests, like those found in F1
wind tunnels, Scanivalve pressure scanners' small size, high
accuracy and rugged reliability provide an excellent
solution. These same scanners can be used for pressure
measurements in full scale, on-car road tests. For either
automotive wind tunnel tests or on-car road tests, Scanivalve has a
pressure measurement solution no matter what the application.
With our experience in both production development tests and F1
wind tunnel and road tests, Scanivalve engineers will be able to
meet the challenge and support you no matter what.
