Exciting news earlier this month from the 2012 Mid-American Trucking show in Louisville, Kentucky (March 22-24) as Volvo and Mack formally express approval for the B20 (20 percent biodiesel mixed with 80 percent diesel). 

The report from BIOFUELS Journal adds that “With these two additions, about 65 - 70 percent of diesel vehicle manufacturers in the U.S. market support B20 or higher biodiesel blends!”

April 1, 2012 Colorado follows Texas this year adopting chemical disclosure law with added requirement for concentration reporting. Domestic flow meter manufacturer Max Machinery, Inc. answers Well Service Industry's call for high accuracy measurement of chemicals.

Performance testing of gas/electric fuel systems has entered a new era under the 2011 standards agreement. In July of last year President Obama announced an agreement with thirteen major automakers to reach a standard of 54.5 miles per gallon for all cars and light-duty trucks released by 2025.
 

In the Field:

The displacement of a PD meter is not affected by the speed at which it turns. So verifying its K-Factor and accuracy can be done at any flow rate that is convenient to the operator. This is an incredible advantage over other types of meters which measure flow velocity, such as turbines, ultrasonic, vortex shedding or mag meters. You do not have to establish a known flow rate and hold it constant throughout a test sample. All that is required to confirm the displacement of a PD meter is to pass liquid

The DOE announced earlier this week $6 million dollars for data in the analysis of performance of light duty Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs). Project applicants are to submit and fulfill designs that monitor FCEVs performance capabilities for up to 5 years. 
 

In January 2012, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) initiated a project to develop a standard for the testing of: Brake Component Hydraulic Flow Rate Measurement. This new standard will be researched and issued through the SAE committee for Hydraulic Brake Components Standards.

Max Machinery has released a full line of flow meters with ATEX, UL and CSA approvals. These precision flowmeters are classified for ATEX/IECEx II 2 G Ex d IIB Tx Gb hazardous environments, as well as U.L.’s Class 1, Division 1, Groups C & D. Domestic supply and a short lead time are offered for any of the pulse, quadrature, voltage and current output configurations.

Max Machinery has taken a major step in minimizing its carbon footprint by placing a 216 panel, photovoltaic array on their roof. The new array has been sized to provide 90% of the company’s power requirements. Oliver Max, co‐owner of the precision flow meter manufacturing company, explains “We have a large roof with a full southern exposure making us an ideal candidate for solar. Worldwide, electricity generation is one of the main sources of greenhouse gases and air pollution.
