With an eye on real driving measurements, which is included in forthcoming European emission standards for vehicles, Matter Aerosol will unveil the new NanoMet3 for solid nanoparticle counting and classification.

The US-based InterTech Development Company, which designs and makes solutions for leak testing, functional testing and test-centric assembly, is to  announce a breakthrough technology for audit testing, inspection and lap applications. Its new M1075-121y Universal Audit Tester promises to do the job of many specialised instruments – ideal for quality control in the lab.

Meanwhile, Mangalore-based Canara Lighting Industries will shed new light on crash testing with lighting systems for auto crash test facilities. High-speed photography for automotive crash tests calls for an efficient and effective lighting system.
