Canister Preconditioning System C2K

Do your canister procedures meet EPA and CARB requirements?

C2KThe 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 I Suppliers, and Government and Independent Test Laboratories.

Designed to support testing for both certification compliance, 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 loading stations and scale bays.

User Friendly Interface
The C2K uses a Pentium®-PC based control system and operator interface running Windows XP®.  APS's SureTestTM software provides an intuitive graphical user interface for ease of system operation.
