OBS-ONE PM unit

Overview

 EPA CFR part 1065 Compliance

On-board PM measurement for real-world results

OBS-ONE PM unit is the industry-leading on-board Particulate Matter (PM) measurement system. It collects PM on a filter paper, using a partial flow gravimetric sampling method, while simultaneously measuring real-time PM. A key feature of this design is the use of a venturi flow meter which enables
reliable proportional sampling and accurate exhaust gas flow measurement under transient flow conditions. Combine the GAS unit and PM unit to perform certification tests on heavy duty and non-road vehicles.

Features

For Certification

  • US EPA CFR part 1065 subpart J
  • Simplify data collection and post-processing regulation requirements by using this measurement method

For R&D

  • Easily compare in-lab test results with real-road test results
  • Support R&D by simulating real-world driving events in the test cell with the Test Automation System STARS

◎ The world’s smallest PM measurement system in its class*

     *As of July 2015. Based on our company's research.

  • Easily mounted on any vehicle (modular and front access design)
  • One-touch fitting for module and cable connections

◎ The reliable test method for high speed flow rate control

  • PM transient measurement by proportional sampling

◎ User-friendly design mounts easily on any vehicle
    (modular and front-access design)

  • One-touch fitting for module and cable connections
