Division 3.3.1 Calculation

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

PM shall be calculated using the following two equations:

PM=Vmix+ Vep× PeVep× d

where exhaust gases are vented outside tunnel;

and:

PM=Vmix× PeVep× d

where exhaust gases are returned to the tunnel;

where:

Vmix
  • is the volume of diluted exhaust gases (see paragraph 2. of this Sub-Annex), under standard conditions;

  • Vep
  • is the volume of diluted exhaust gas flowing through the particulate sampling filter under standard conditions;

  • Pe
  • is the mass of particulate matter collected by one or more sample filters, mg;

  • d
  • is the distance driven corresponding to the test cycle, km.

    1. 3.3.1.1Where correction for the background particulate mass from the dilution system has been used, this shall be determined in accordance with paragraph 2.1.3.1. of Sub-Annex 6. In this case, particulate mass (mg/km) shall be calculated using the following equations:
