Division 7.2.1.2 Batch sampling

In batch sampling, a sample of raw or diluted exhaust gas is continuously extracted and stored for later measurement. The extracted sample shall be proportional to the raw or diluted exhaust gas flow rate. Examples of batch sampling are collecting diluted gaseous emissions in a bag and collecting PM on a filter. In principal the method of emission calculation is done as follows: the batch sampled concentrations are multiplied by the total mass or mass flow (raw or dilute) from which it was extracted during the test cycle. This product is the total mass or mass flow of the emitted constituent. To calculate the PM concentration, the PM deposited onto a filter from proportionally extracted exhaust gas shall be divided by the amount of filtered exhaust gas.
