BASIC INFORMATION

  • Make & Model : Measured value output FSN (filter smoke number), mg/m³ (soot concentration) Measurement range 0 to 10 FSN Detection limit 0.002 FSN or 0.02 mg/m³
  • Department : Mechanical Engineering
  • Location : ME-
  • Category : Category - III
  • Status : Functional

PRINCIPLE:

The basic principle of the smoke meter is in measurement of exhaust gas emissions sucked through a filter paper. The blackening of filter paper is measured with reflectometer and indicates the soot content in the exhaust gas.

APPLICATION:

The smoke meter readout displays the smoke density giving a measure of the efficiency of combustion. This makes the smoke meter an excellent diagnostic tool to ensure proper maintenance of diesel engines for improved fuel economy and protection of the environment.
