Austchrome’s Hydraulic Assembly and Testing facility has been established and is maintained to ISO 4406 standard for Contamination control. This ensures Hydraulic Groups that are assembled and tested in Austchrome’s facility are free of contaminates that can greatly reduce the working life of the group. QA testing of each group is carried out with hydraulic assembly to ensure the group meets all operational requirements and is free of contamination.
