 | | | Scientists routinely measure a fuel's upper and lower flammability
limits to determine fuel performance, handling, and safety. |
Essential to providing robust and environmentally friendly automotive fuel systems is an understanding of:
Fuel properties Material compatibility Component capabilities
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) engineers evaluate fuel-delivery components and systems with respect to a wide range of emissions and safety issues. SwRI provides the following services:
Helium- and fuel-leakage testing Hot-fuel handling Permeation testing Vapor management Canister testing Hydrocarbon compound analyses Upper and lower flammability limit determinations
For more information about emissions and safety issues, or how you can contract with SwRI,
