FRAP

FRAP’s unique unsteady pressure measurement technology provides a range of finely tuned measurements highly resolved in space and time. The mainstream flow field is typically measured using a 1.8 mm tip diameter single sensor FRAP probe providing time resolved information. FRAP probe technology supports steady (1Hz) as well as unsteady temperature measurements. Single and multi sensor probes are supported. FRAP probes are used up to a minimum of 0.84 mm in tip diameter in certain configurations (e.g. highly shearing flows). This probe category is unique and the smallest on the market today.

FRAP technology is supported with full turn-key system: signal acquisition boards, traversing system, pressure supply unit, power pressure units, post processing software (including the Herkules Matlab module) and a high performance Pentium 4 PC are mounted in a 19” stand-alone measurement tower.

FRAP software: The Herkules data reduction and analysis tool supports the large and complex data set from unsteady flow fields (up to 50GB per traverse). A simple user interface fronts a powerful full-suite analysis tool illustrating greater efficiency potential in the design and development process.
