C2K - Canister Preconditioning System
Do your
canister procedures meet EPA and CARB requirements?
The
Analytical Process Systems, Inc. Canister Test System (C2K)
guarantees test compliance per the US EPA CFR 40, 86.132
and California Air Resources Board - Evaporative Emissions
Standards and Test Procedures. Since 1992, the APS C2K commands
the largest worldwide installed base from automotive OEM's,
tier suppliers, and government and independent test laboratories.
Designed
to support testing for both certification compliance and
research and development the C2K utilizes recipe driven
and user configurable test procedures and a robust data
acquisition system designed for report generation. The modular
platform supports simultaneous testing for up to nine independent
stations.
User
Friendly Interface
The C2K uses a Pentium®-PC based control system and
operator interface running Windows NT®. APS's SureTestTM
software provides an intuitive graphical user interface
for ease of system operation.
