Description

The Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at Université Concordia, in coordination with the Center for Advanced Sealing Technologies, is seeking the design, fabrication, integration, and commissioning of a modular high-speed test bench for evaluating carbon sealing systems. The scope includes experimental tribology, high-speed rotating machinery test benches, thermo-mechanical testing up to 500 °C, differential pressure testing, leakage evaluation, precision instrumentation, real-time data acquisition, and automated test sequences. The test bench must replicate operational conditions up to 35,000 rpm, 500 °C, and 0-6 bar differential pressure, providing traceable measurements of friction torque, leakage, radial displacement, and temperature distribution. This turnkey modular and instrumented test bench will support advanced material validation, industrial collaborations, and practical training.
