ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for controllably admitting a sample volume of engine exhaust into a bifurcated, closed-loop opacity chamber and wherein the exhaust sample is controllably directed away from the internal optics via symmetric flow inducing air guides. A pulsed light source is controllably directed through the opacity chamber and exhaust sample and the detected light is compared to a reference level so as to determine a relative measure of the sample's opacity. Attendant control circuitry permits the selected display of corresponding sample opacity and density values.
