BLRT Bond Loop and Joint Resistance Tester

MK Test Systems BLRT loop resistance tester is an automatic computer controlled portable system and offers dramatic reduction in testing times by automating and simplifying the test process. The BLRT systems have been specifically developed to replace the LRT loop resistance tester, and are approved by The Boeing Company.

The BLRT offers bonding resistance measurement (DC), loop resistance measurement and joint resistance measurement.

Use the BLRT to perform simple, rapid and automatic test and measurement of:

• Loop resistance and integrity of cable shields
• Loop resistance and integrity of bonding straps
• Joint resistance of any joint in the loop being measured
• Bond resistance between structural elements.

The BLRT includes manual mode and automatic mode. In automatic mode the user can download a test requirement and automatically create a test sequence. Measured values are analysed for pass or fail, retested if required, and test results delivered on a test report and uploaded to the users results archive, guaranteeing traceability.

Please contact us to discuss the appropriate model for your application.

Approved by The Boeing Company
Our BLRT bond, loop and joint resistance tester is approved by The Boeing Company for use on unfuelled aircraft. The only alternative equipment authorised by The Boeing Company to conduct loop tests is the LRT (models 906-10246-3, 906-10247-3 and 906-10276-3) which uses ageing technology, is cumbersome and prone to damage. MK Tests BLRT was developed specifically to resolve the inherent issues with this legacy equipment, and we have worked closely with The Boeing Company to achieve this milestone approval.
