Catalytic converters became a part of the vehicle exhaust system in the mid-1970s to meet emission regulations mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Since the introduction of the three-way catalyst, engineers and scientists have worked to optimize the performance and durability of these devices to meet increasingly stringent emissions and durability . . . → Read More: FOCAS Ages Automotive Exhaust Catalysts

To kickoff the “Emission Solutions in Transportation” Conference in Ann Arbor, MI this October, the American Filtration and Separations Society (AFS) is holding seven short courses on October 15, 2007, including “Filter Testing – Engine Emissions and Particle Counting.”

The “Filter Testing – Engine Emissions and Particle Counting” course will provide practical information on testing associated with . . . → Read More: Conference Offers Filter Testing Course

The Model 357B65 high-temperature, piezoelectric charge output accelerometer operates in temperatures ranges of -65 to +900º F (-54 to +482º C), and is designed for vibration studies in the high-temperature, ambient environments found in power generation turbines and equipment, aircraft engines, and automotive vehicle engine test and exhaust systems.

The accelerometer connects to laboratory-style charge amplifiers . . . → Read More: Accelerometer Geared for Exhaust Tests
