Mobile Source Emissions
Mobile Source Emissions Standards
Federal, Provincial and State vehicle emission regulations require certification of tailpipe emissions to prescribed levels. These regulations mainly deal with in-use certification for currently owned and licensed on-road vehicles. High pressure precision
gas mixtures, in various concentrations, are also supplied to original equipment manufacturers for new engine certification of internal
combustion engines (ICE).
A wide range of high purity gases and calibration standards, blended to the manufacturers exacting specifications, are available. In-use testing is traditionally referred to as Inspection and Maintenance (I/M)
testing. I/M automotive calibration standards are referred to as “BAR” mixtures, and are defined by the California Bureau of Automotive Repair.

7000 Series Gas Cabinet
The 7000 Series gas cabinet enclosures are used to store gas cylinders and to mount gas delivery panels for the safe use of hazardous gases. They provide a low cost method to contain any gas releases and achieve compliance of NFPA Standards municipal and customer safety codes.
Features and Benefits
- Safe storage of compressed gases and delivery systems
- Gas releases are contained and vented to an exhaust system away from workers
- Optional Gas leak detection systems can be linked to an alarm and/or emergency shutoff
- Safe use, dispensing and handling of hazardous gases
- Clean laboratory appearance, since cylinders are kept inside enclosure and not in the workplace
- Meets NFPA requirements
Design and Construction Features
- Doors and windows that close and latch automatically; exhaust vent located on top of cabinet
- Air inlet louvers
- Internal UL approved fire sprinkler with protective coating
- Adjustable cylinder brackets
