Sec.  1065.295  PM inertial balance for field-testing analysis.

    (a) Application. You may use an inertial balance to quantify net PM 
on a sample medium for field testing.
    (b) Component requirements. We recommend that you use a balance that 
meets the specifications in Table 1 of Sec.  1065.205. Note that your 
balance-based system must meet the linearity verification in Sec.  
1065.307. If the balance uses an internal calibration process for 
routine spanning and linearity verifications, the process must be NIST-
traceable. You may use an inertial PM balance that has compensation 
algorithms that are functions of other

gaseous measurements and the engine's known or assumed fuel properties. 
The target value for any compensation algorithm is 0.0% (that is, no 
bias high and no bias low), regardless of the uncompensated signal's 
bias.
