A full inventory of quality equipment and instrumentation is imperative to the success of the emission testing project. LEHDER maintains a sizable annual budget for the acquisition of new source testing  
  equipment. In addition, existing equipment is routinely maintained and calibrated in accordance with standard operating procedures before and after each field project. Equipment that does not meet operational or appearance specifications is repaired or discarded.

An approximate inventory of LEHDER’s emissions testing equipment and instrumentation is listed below:
