Emissions Laboratory
Transportation Research Center Inc.'s proving grounds has emissions testing capabilities including exhaust and evaporative emissions testing within our 24,000 square foot emissions laboratory.
|
The laboratory which is located in Building C on the grounds of Transportation Research Center's (the Center) Research Park. The Laboratory provides engine- and chassis dynamometer-based exhaust emissions and fuel economy testing, hydrocarbon speciation, and particulate measurement to any SAE, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), California Air Resource Board (CARB), or other industry standard.
Experience:
- Gasoline, diesel, and alternative fuel engines and vehicles
|
- Light-duty vehicle, motorcycle and all-terrain vehicles
|
- Lawn and garden utility to heavy duty diesel engine stand testing
|
- Exhaust and evaporative emissions certification: EPA, Air Resources Board (ARB) and Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)
|
- Fuel, additive , lubricant and aftermarket parts validation
|
- Intake valve and port fuel injector deposit testing
|
- Fuel blending, storage, and dispensing
|
- Fuel and lubricant analysis
| |
- Fuel system component durability and fuel compatibility testing
