Description
When conducting emission testing, determining the weight of particulate matter is a key task in the automotive industry and a base for measurements regarding air quality standards. As the regulations become stricter hence affect several industries, it is crucial to determine the weight of particulate matter accurately.
Process -
Particulate Matter is captured on filters which have been preweighed in the laboratory, sent for processing and then backweighed in the laboratory again. Sample and data integrity are paramount for accurate results.
Challenges -
Fragile samples are difficult to weigh accurately, and often static charges can influence weighing results. The two-stage weighing process must be carefully monitored to ensure mistakes do not occur.
Solutions -
METTLER TOLEDO’s dedicated filter kits and antistatic solutions provide optimum weighing conditions.
