Laboratory Accuracy in a Portable Flightline
HowellÂ's H585 Series Brake Testers give maintenance operators flightline measurement of brake system pressures and differentials for a variety of aircraft. All models minimize fluid loss and maintain hydraulic system integrity by incorporating purging and bleeding (forward or back) as routine operations in hydraulic system testing.

Major Features:
  • Digital accuracy in measurement and readout for consistent, repeatable results
  • 5000 psi working pressure
  • SKYDROL® or MIL-H-5606 compatible models
  • All stainless steel wet section
  • T-handle bleed valves for positive pressure control
  • Self-sealing quick disconnects for hose attachment
  • Internal adjustment to ambient pressure
  • Aircraft-specific adapter kits
  • 115 VAC, 50-400Hz
  • Automatic Built-In Test (BIT) on startup
  • Software driven calibration
  • EMI shielded microprocessor section
Aircraft Compatibility
Aircraft-specific adapter kits make the H585 series testers nearly universal in field application. Kit availability includes:
  • MIL-H-5606 or SKYDROL®
  • KC/EC135 CHALLENGER 601
  • C141 DC/KC10
  • C130 KC-135R
  • C17 MD80
  • F15 C9
  • F16
  • A10
  • B52
  • C5
The unitÂ's flexibility can easily support additional applications based on customer specifications and needs.

Functional Description
An all stainless steel wet section receives aircraft hydraulic pressure directly into the transducers through rear panel pressure ports. Positive control T-handle needle valves are then used to bleed each transducer to the rear panel purge port as required. Back bleeding from the purge port through the needle valves, and out through the pressure ports is also easily performed during regular maintenance. The H585 series uses safety shutoff, safety release, quick disconnects on four rear panel bleed ports and one purge port. All bleed hoses, valves, and fittings are rated to 5000 psi working pressure. The SKYDROL® compatible model (H585S) uses physically larger fittings to avoid inadvertent mixing of incompatible fluids. Also, all H585S electronic deck gaskets, hoses, and any required aircraft O-rings are SKYDROL® rated.

Independent Channels
The H585s independent pressure channel design allows maximum flexibility in hydraulic testing. Multiple testing configurations allow a complete view of the systems under test. Digital readout of each pressure avoids ambiguities associated with pressure gauges.

Instant Differentials
One-button differential measurements instantly reveal pressure differences between ports 1 and 2 and between ports 3 and 4 with the higher pressure port showing the differential. This feature greatly simplifies time-related bleed-offs and drop testing by automating required calculations.
