Testing Methodology
This test is currently used for measurement of particulate in diesel trucks' stack exhaust in California. The equipment consists of:
- Telescopic pole (9-12 ft) with laser/optical measurement device
- Triangular shaped apparatus for exhaust pipe measurement
- Hand-held computer with recording/printing mechanism
- Bung placed directly into exhaust stack
Test Procedure
- Truck placed in idle position
- First measurements calculated at idle
- Tester steps on accelerator and holds at set RPM for approximately 5 seconds
- Test repeated several times with computer recording results
- Final report calculates particulate/opacity of diesel exhaust under load
Results: Base Tested After STM-3
The test results show significant reduction in smoke opacity after Cerma STM-3 treatment was applied. This demonstrates the technology's ability to reduce harmful diesel emissions and help vehicles pass California's strict smoke opacity standards.
Why This Matters for Diesel Owners
- Pass emissions testing – Reduce smoke opacity to meet California standards
- Reduce environmental impact – Lower particulate matter emissions
- Improve engine performance – Cleaner combustion means better efficiency
- Extend engine life – Less carbon buildup protects components
