Key Findings

All four S3 prototype units (C303-1# through C303-4#) passed every functional checkpoint recorded across the first 20 hours of the piston cup lifespan validation test, with all pressure and timing measurements remaining within specification. Data for Hours 25 through 40 were not yet recorded at the time of report generation.

• Test Subject: ETENWOLF S3 Cordless Tire Inflator (semi-finished / bare unit)
• Test Purpose: Validate piston cup (皮碗) service life under repeated inflation cycles
• Sample Count: 4 units — C303-1#, C303-2#, C303-3#, C303-4#
• Checkpoint Interval: Every 5 operating hours
• Data Recorded: Hours 5, 10, 15, 20 (Hours 25–40 pending)
• 130 psi Inflation Time Spec: 15–60 seconds (all units passed)
• 130–160 psi Inflation Time Spec: 12–35 seconds (all units passed)
• Max Pressure Achieved: ≥ 160 psi on all recorded cycles
• 160 psi Hold Pressure Drop: All units remained well above the 159.0 psi minimum (≤ 1.0 psi drop from 160 psi) at every interval

Test Overview

Test Equipment & Setup

Test Procedure

1. Pre-Test: Label and identify all four semi-finished S3 prototype units as C303-1#, C303-2#, C303-3#, and C303-4#. Confirm pressure transducer calibration and timing system readiness.
2. Cycle Operation: Subject all units to continuous inflation duty cycles representing the intended piston cup lifespan validation protocol.
3. 5-Hour Checkpoint (and each subsequent 5-hour interval): At each checkpoint, perform the following measurements on every unit:
   1. Check 130 psi inflation pressure using the pressure transducer (Test Item 9).
   2. Record the elapsed time (seconds) for inflation from 0 to 130 psi (Test Item 11) — acceptance: 15–60 s.
   3. Verify maximum achievable inflation pressure ≥ 160 psi using the pressure transducer (Test Item 19).
   4. Record the elapsed time (seconds) for inflation from 130 to 160 psi (Test Item 21) — acceptance: 12–35 s.
   5. Record the stabilized pressure value (psi) after a 36-second stabilization period (Test Item 25).
   6. Record the residual pressure (psi) after holding 160 psi for 30 seconds; verify pressure drop does not exceed 1.0 psi (Test Item 27).
4. Post-Measurement: Log all readings in the functional test lifespan data sheet. Note any anomalies in the remarks (备注) column.
5. Repeat at Hours 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40.
6. Acceptance Criteria: All six test items must remain within specification at every checkpoint for a unit to be considered passing. Any out-of-spec reading must be noted with a problem description in the remarks column.

Test Data & Results

All recorded measurements at Hours 5, 10, 15, and 20 are within specification. No anomalies or failure events were noted in the remarks column for any unit. The 130 psi cut-off pressures are consistent across all units, deviating less than 1 psi from the nominal. Inflation times for both phases (0→130 psi and 130→160 psi) stayed well within their respective windows throughout all recorded intervals. The 30-second hold test showed pressure drops of approximately 0.1–0.2 psi in all cases, far below the 1.0 psi maximum. Data collection for Hours 25 through 40 had not yet been completed as of the source file date (2025-06-30).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the piston cup lifespan test for the ETENWOLF S3 tire inflator?

The piston cup (皮碗) lifespan test is a mechanical endurance validation that runs four semi-finished S3 units through continuous inflation cycles and checks six functional parameters — including cut-off pressure accuracy, inflation speed, maximum pressure, and pressure retention — at every 5-hour interval up to 40 hours of total operation. The goal is to confirm that the piston cup seal maintains full performance throughout its rated service life.

Did all four S3 prototype units pass the lifespan functional test?

Yes. All four units (C303-1#, C303-2#, C303-3#, C303-4#) passed all six functional checkpoints at Hours 5, 10, 15, and 20 without any out-of-spec readings or reported anomalies. Data for Hours 25 through 40 had not been recorded at the time the source file was exported (2025-06-30).

What is the maximum allowable pressure drop during the S3 hold test?

The S3 must not lose more than 1.0 psi over a continuous 30-second hold at 160 psi. Across all recorded intervals, the observed pressure drop was approximately 0.1–0.2 psi per unit — well within the 1.0 psi limit — confirming strong seal integrity in the piston cup assembly.

How long does it take the ETENWOLF S3 to inflate from 0 to 130 psi?

The specification requires the S3 to reach 130 psi from zero within 15 to 60 seconds. During the lifespan test, all four prototype units consistently completed this phase in 23.97 to 38.24 seconds across the first 20 hours of testing, indicating stable pump performance with no degradation trend observed in the recorded data.
