Dufournier

Operating worldwide for 21 years through a network of local agents, the French company Dufournier is a leading industrial group in tire testing, measurement and performance analysis. In the last few years, three complementary activities have been developed: Dufournier Testing (standards and R&D tests); Dufournier Industries (development and manufacturing of test machines, related services such as maintenance, calibration and training); and Dufournier Technologies (detailed analysis of performance on the data obtained). Thanks to its tire expertise, Dufournier can provide detailed analyses of performance and tire modeling (Pacejka MF 5.2, TFWM+T).

Dufournier’s experienced engineers work daily with the various testing equipment they have developed themselves, such as the Skid Trailers Braking and R&D, Rolling Resistance machine and the AI3T. Today there is a real need to meet regulations to sell tires; the R117 homologations come into play. The company can perform R117 tests with its indoor machines: wet grip measurements with the Automated Indoor Tire Test Track (AI3T) machine; rolling resistance measurements with the Rolling Resistance Machine (RRM); pass-by noise measurements.

The R117 test corresponds to C1 and C2 profile tires and meets the ISO 17025 accreditation (COFRAC #1-6676).

The R117 tests are performed indoors all year round with unrivaled repeatability.
