The APCLT is required to check aircraft pressurized cabins and canopy seals for leaks and for the ability to control aircraft cabin pressure. The pneumatic cabin pressure leakage tester will provide the means to meet the requirement and is required by the RAAF. The pneumatic cabin pressure leakage tester is a portable unit that runs on facility supplied compressed air and that can supply various combinations of air flow and air pressure to check leakage and pressure regulation in aircraft cabins and canopy seals. Hydraulics International, Inc., as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the APCLT, is the only source with the requisite knowledge, technical experience, and production-level data to produce these components.
