Stationary source emissions, Method 2: Determination of total particulate matter – Isokinetic manual sampling – Gravimetric method

AS 4323.2:2023 sets out an isokinetic manual gravimetric method for the determination of particulate matter emitted from stationary sources. The method provides a measure of both the concentration and mass emission rate of particulate matter passing through a stack for a defined sampling period.
