UNDER ISOKINETIC
When the nozzle velocity is less than the stack velocity the results
will be biased high due to the inertia of the large particles.
Nozzle
OVER ISOKINETIC
When the nozzle velocity is greater than the stack velocity the results will biased low
since the larger particles break through the air stream and bypass the nozzle.

PRINCIPLE
A sample stream of the gas is extracted from the main gas stream at specified sampling points for a measured
period of time, with an isokinetic controlled flowrate. The volume of gas collected is measured, and a pre
weighed filter, which is then dried and reweighed, separates the particulate matter (dust) entrained in the gas
sample. Deposits upstream of the filter in the sampling equipment are also recovered and weighed. The
increase in mass of the filter and the mass deposited upstream of the filter is attributed to particulate matter
collected from the sampled gas. The ratio of the mass of the particulate matter collected to the volume of gas
collected allows the flue gas particulate concentration to be calculated.
Sampling plane and sampling points
1. sampling line
Line in the sampling plane along which sampling points are located, bounded by the
inner duct wall
2. sampling plane
The sampling plane shall be as far downstream and upstream as possible from any
obstruction that may cause a disturbance and produce a change in the direction of flow
(disturbances caused by e.g. bends, fans or pollution abatement equipment).
3. access port
A minimum diameter of 125 mm or a surface area of 100 mm × 250 mm are
recommended, except for small ducts (less than 0,7 m diameter) for which the port size
needs to be smaller
