Abstract Information :
A wide variety of methods can be used for PM measurements. Commercial instruments employing transmissometry, laser light scattering, charge transfer and beta ray absorption are all available and the choice can be overwhelming. Some instruments carry European approvals, some comply with US EPA standards and some do both. No one method is ideal for all applications - the best choice depends on the emission limit, the nature of the process and availability of skilled personnel to service the instrument. This paper will review the physical principles underlying the most widely-used measurement techniques and recommend the most appropriate choices for several common measurement scenarios.
