Final report on an experimental evaluation of remote sensing based hydrocarbon measurements: A comparison to fid measurements
The purpose of the study was to intercompare hydrocarbon (HC) measurements performed by a number of different instruments: a gas chromatograph (GC), a flame ionizaton detector (FID), a fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), a commercially produced non-dispersive infrared analyzer (NDIR), and two remote sensors. These instruments were used to measure total HC concentrations in a variety of samples including (1) ten different individual HC species, (2) twelve different vehicle exhaust samples, and (3) three different volatilized fuel samples. The twelve exhaust samples were generated by operating two different vehicles on a dynamometer. Each vehicle was operated at different times with three different fuels.
