OBS-ONE PM unit
On-board Emissions Measurement System
The OBS-ONE PM Unit is an on-board emissions measurement system designed to collect and measure particulate matter (PM) in real-world driving conditions. It uses a high-precision partial-flow gravimetric sampling method paired with real-time particle monitoring. A built-in venturi flow meter ensures accurate proportional sampling even during transient exhaust flow conditions.

Why Choose OBS-ONE PM unit
Certified Accuracy – Meets EPA CFR Part 1065 subpart J for regulatory-grade PM measurement.
-
Compact & Vehicle-Ready – Compact, lightweight, and easily mounts on vehicles with a modular, front-access design.
-
Dual Measurement Capability – Offers gravimetric filter collection plus real-time PM concentration tracking.
-
Integrated Control – Operates via the unified HORIBA ONE software platform for streamlined system management.
