Instrumentation used in aviation and aerospace environments 

The aviation industry relies on precision and the highest quality of equipment; even the smallest issue can have detrimental consequences. That's why having specialist aviation instrumentation and measuring equipment is vital to protect safety and accuracy. 

From temperature fluctuations and high vibrations to strict regulatory oversight, such as EASA, UK CAA, and AS9100, aviation and aerospace environments present unique challenges that standard industrial tools are simply not equipped to handle. 

At GNW Instrumentation, we supply high-quality aviation instrumentation and aerospace measuring equipment that is designed specifically to support the challenging environments found in hangars, production facilities, and MRO operations. Our solutions help engineers and quality teams maintain accuracy, reliability, and compliance across every stage of the aircraft lifecycle. 

Precision measurement for aircraft manufacturing and maintenance 

Precision is one of the biggest factors to consider in aviation; it underpins every stage of aircraft production and servicing. Whether it's verifying component tolerances during manufacturing or confirming performance during scheduled maintenance, accurate data is essential for quality assurance and airworthiness. 

Our range of measuring instruments is designed for repeatability and long-term stability. We provide a range of products used for: 

• Verifying component dimensions and assembly tolerances
• Monitoring pressure in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fuel systems
• Supporting temperature and system performance checks
• Electrical testing, inspection, and system verification for avionics and onboard systems

Our aviation-grade pressure gauges provide reliable, traceable readings to support system testing, fault diagnosis, and regulatory compliance across critical aircraft systems, alongside our electrical test instruments that support continuity and performance testing. 

We provide aircraft maintenance instrumentation that is used across aircraft manufacturing facilities, MRO hangars, component workshops, and inspection departments, helping to support performance, efficiency, and aviation safety at every stage.

Weighing and load measurement in aviation applications 

Accurate weight and balance calculations are essential for aircraft safety, performance, and regulatory compliance, including CAA and EASA requirements. From component handling and assembly through to maintenance and operational readiness, aviation weighing equipment plays a central role in ensuring aircraft operate within the approved limits. 

Our aviation weighing equipment and load cells deliver precise, repeatable results in both static and dynamic environments. This allows teams to manage sub-assemblies, ground support equipment, and complete aircraft with confidence, all while maintaining clear records for quality assurance and regulatory documentation. 

Quality control and inspection equipment safety 

In this sector, aerospace quality control equipment is at the forefront of safety. Consistency, documentation, and verification are not an optional addition; they are a strict requirement. Each aspect of aviation operations requires strict inspection and tests to maintain compliance with internal standards and external regulations. Every one of our products is built with this consideration in mind. From dimensional checks and functional testing to electrical verification and system monitoring, our tools help reduce the risk of non-conformance and maintain a clear audit trail.
