This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.ISO9835:1993(E) BSI 07-1999 1 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a method for measuring the black smoke index of an ambient air sample. The method is based o

13、n the staining effect of particles which is produced when a sample of air is drawn through a filter paper. The method is intended for the measurement of a black smoke index in the range 6 to 375 in the ambient atmosphere. It is based on the measurement of reflectance. The method does not measure the

14、 mass concentration of particles directly. 2 Definition For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definition applies. 2.1 black smoke strongly light-absorbing, particulate material suspended in the ambient atmosphere NOTE 1The major contributor to black smoke is soot particles;

15、i.e.particles containing carbon in its elemental form. 3 Principle and theory Air is drawn through a filter paper and the reflectance of the stain produced is measured. If it is assumed that reflected light from the surface of the filter paper has passed through the layer of light absorbent particle

16、s twice, reflectance from the filter surface is analogous to the absorption of light by particles suspended in air in accordance with the equation where Thus, rearranging equation (1): The method specified in this International Standard can be used to measure the absorption coefficient on any filter

17、 material, but the conversion of absorption coefficient or extinction coefficient to what is, by convention, known as the black smoke index, is purely an arbitrary operation which is carried out by reference to tables or graphs. For further explanations, seeAnnex A. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Sampling equipmen

The leakage across the filter and valves (if used) shall not exceed2% of the total flow rate. The filter holder should be of a design which will provide a homogeneous particle layer

22、 on the surface of the filter medium.

45、 Law, which states that equal fractions of the incident radiation are absorbed by successive layers of equal thickness of the light absorbing substance. This is represented mathematically by the equation where The absorption coefficient, a, refers to light of a particular wavelength and its value va

46、ries with the wavelength of the absorbed radiation. Thus, equation (A.1) represents the transmission and absorption of monochromatic radiation in a particular medium. A.2 The theory of reflectance measurement During sampling, air is drawn through a filter medium and the collected particles produce a

47、 stain on the surface of the filter paper. It is clear that most filter materials present a barrier to the radiation, therefore there can be no transmission of light and it is necessary to measure reflectance. Thus, to employ Lamberts Law (see equation A.1) it is necessary to assume that the surface

48、 of the filter material underlying the deposit acts as a perfect mirror and therefore the radiation passes through the absorbing layer twice. The staining power of the particulates on the surface is measured by comparing the stained surface with a blank, unexposed surface. The intensity of the incid

49、ent radiation, I 0 , and of the transmitted radiation, I, can be replaced by R 0and R, assuming that the reflectance, R 0 , of the unexposed filter material is analogous with the incident radiation, which is not actually measured. In fact, the difference between the incident radiation and the reflected radiation is due to scatter, which can be assumed to be the same for both blank and exposed filter papers and therefore ignored in terms of reflectance measurement.
