Fuel & Fluid Systems
Pump Testing
Independent durability and performance testing of fuel, coolant, EV coolant, and fluid pumps with per-pump monitoring and 24/7 remote control.
01 · UNDERSTAND THE SERVICE
Overview
Sterling Performance validates a variety of pumps — fuel, EV coolant, coolant, and fluid pumps — with individual monitoring and remote 24/7 control to ensure accurate durability test results.
Rather than batch testing, every pump is individually wired, controlled, and monitored, with separate alarms tracking each pump's settings. Remote offsite control and monitoring uses state-of-the-art technology, a fiber-optic network, and staff paging alerts to keep tests compliant with specifications around the clock.

ANSWERS FOR ENGINEERS
Frequently Asked Questions
How many pumps can Sterling test at once?
We operate 36 pump durability tanks capable of independently testing up to 216 pumps at the same time.
Are pumps tested individually or in batches?
Individually — every pump is separately wired, controlled, and monitored with its own alarms, so wear behavior is captured per unit.
What fluids can pumps be tested with?
Any fuels or fluids, hydraulic oils, and water, across a thermal range of -77 °C to 177 °C.
