EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of GMW 16534 testing. GMW 16534 is a General Motors standard that specifies requirements for loose dirt and deposits on raw substrates, coated catalysts and catalytic converter assemblies.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure that these components are free of any loose dirt or debris that could potentially cause problems or malfunctions in the operation of the catalytic converter.
The standard defines loose dirt and debris as any foreign matter that is not firmly attached to the surface of the component and can be removed by tapping or blowing compressed air. The standard provides guidelines for the maximum allowable levels of loose dirt and debris on various components.
For raw substrates, the standard specifies that there should be no more than 0,1 gram of loose dirt and debris per square meter of surface area. The limit for coated catalysts is 0,05 grams per square metre, and for catalytic converter assemblies the limit is 0,025 grams per square metre.
The standard also provides methods for measuring the amount of loose dirt and debris on these components. These methods include collecting loose material using a vacuum, weighing the collected material, and calculating the amount per unit surface area.
Compliance with GMW 16534 is important to ensure the smooth operation and longevity of catalytic converters. Loose dirt and debris can block or damage the catalyst, resulting in reduced performance, increased emissions and potentially costly repairs.
