California Air Resources Board Approves CAI Model 1312 to Measure Ethanol

From California Analytical Instruments, Inc.
 

 

The use of the subject 1312 instrument and its associated configuration in measuring ethanol exhaust and evaporative vehicle emissions has been demonstrated to be equivalent to the method specified in ARB Method 1001 of the "California Non-Methane Organic Gas Test Procedures" using midget impinger samplers and GC analysis.

The 1312 instrument may be used for certification testing, manufacturer in-use verification testing, manufacturer in-use confirmatory testing and ARB in-use compliance testing for E100 (100% ethanol), E85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline), and E10 (10% ethanol and 90% gasoline) test fuels as specified in "California Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures for 2001 and Subsequent Model Passenger Cars, Light-Duty Trucks, and Medium-Duty Vehicles, adopted on August 5, 1999.
