Real-Time Continuous Monitoring Results

Met One GT-640

1998 Laboratory Tests—The Met One GT-640 was not available for these tests.

Field Tests—Only one GT-640 was available for the field tests. Results (figure 13) show the instrument overestimated the mass concentrations by 10 percent in the field environment (slope = 1.10) when compared to the FRM. The R² value was poor at 0.35 but only 12 data points were obtained.


Graph: Field data results for the met One GT-640. Gravimetric concentration versus Met One concetration.

results from the 1999 field tests.
