ISO 11060 Schlieren Photography Aerodynamic Testing
The ISO 11060 standard specifies a method of using schlieren photography to visualize and measure the aerodynamic characteristics of an object. This form of testing is particularly valuable for aerospace and aviation industries where precise aerodynamic data is crucial for design optimization, performance enhancement, and safety assessment.
Schlieren photography allows us to observe variations in air density within a flow field by creating a pattern of light and shadow that corresponds with changes in the refractive index. This makes it an ideal tool for capturing shock waves and other phenomena critical to understanding aerodynamics.
At Eurolab, we employ state-of-the-art equipment to perform ISO 11060 tests, ensuring that our clients receive accurate, reliable results. Our approach involves a series of steps: initial consultation with the client to understand their specific needs; detailed specimen preparation tailored to the object being tested; rigorous calibration and setup of the schlieren photography system; execution of the test; and finally, comprehensive analysis and reporting.
For quality managers and compliance officers, this service offers a robust method for ensuring that products meet stringent international standards. R&D engineers can leverage ISO 11060 testing to refine their designs through detailed visualization of airflow around components. Procurement teams benefit from the assurance that suppliers are delivering compliant products.
The process begins with specimen preparation, which involves cleaning and positioning the object precisely within the schlieren system. Calibration is crucial; it ensures that all measurements align accurately with ISO 11060 requirements. Once calibrated, we capture high-resolution images of the airflow around the specimen. These images are then analyzed using advanced software to determine key aerodynamic parameters.
Our testing capabilities include not only visualizing shock waves but also quantifying their strength and location. This information is invaluable for optimizing designs to reduce drag or enhance stability. We can also perform tests under various conditions, such as different angles of attack or Mach numbers, to provide a comprehensive aerodynamic profile.
The results from ISO 11060 testing are presented in detailed reports that include all relevant data and recommendations for improvement. These reports serve as valuable tools for continuous improvement processes within organizations. Compliance officers can use them to ensure ongoing adherence to regulatory requirements, while R&D teams can build upon the insights gained.

Scope and Methodology
The scope of ISO 11060 schlieren photography testing at Eurolab encompasses a wide range of applications within the aerospace and aviation sectors. Our methodology adheres strictly to international standards, ensuring that all tests are conducted with precision and accuracy.
The first step in our process is specimen preparation, which involves thorough cleaning and precise positioning of the object being tested. This ensures that any anomalies or external factors do not influence the test results. Calibration is a critical component; it aligns all measurements precisely with ISO 11060 requirements.
Once calibrated, we proceed to capture high-resolution images using our advanced schlieren photography system. These images are then analyzed in depth using specialized software to determine key aerodynamic parameters such as pressure distributions and shock wave locations. The results provide valuable insights into the design and performance of aircraft components.
We can also conduct tests under various conditions, including different angles of attack or Mach numbers, to generate a comprehensive aerodynamic profile. This flexibility allows us to meet the diverse needs of our clients across the aerospace and aviation industries.
The methodology is further enhanced by our integration with other testing services such as CFD simulations and wind tunnel tests. These complementary offerings provide a more holistic approach to aerodynamic testing, allowing for a thorough understanding of airflow around products.
