Ametek TCI - Mike Palmer, Director, Americas (518-689-0222),
Petrolab (a division of Ametek) specializes in research and new product development for a combination of petrochemical and chemical test instrumentation and accessories. When the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency introduced the Clean Air Act, strict mandates were placed on gasoline fuel quality. Petrolab initiated the design of a new, portable tester to rapidly and precisely determine the RVP-equivalent vapor pressure of fuel samples per specifications by the U.S. EPA. The resultant design, as manufactured by Grabner Instruments, is now the U.S. EPA's referee analytical instrument for Clean Air Act enforcement. Petrolab enjoys an intensive collaboration with UAlbany faculty and students.
