An exhaust sampler for use in evaluating exhaust emissions of an exhaust source such as an internal combustion engine which utilizes a calibrated subsonic venturi for measuring the exhaust or exhaust/dilution air flow rate. Controls are provided for selecting and controlling a variety of flow rates between or during test periods. The system also provides a variety of control methods for extracting a sample from the bulkstream flow of exhaust and dilution air or from raw exhaust flow.

Exhaust sampler and control means

A vehicle force measurement system for determining the force output of a vehicle independent of the radius dimensions of the driving wheels of the vehicle. A fifth wheel is utilized to provide an accurate vehicle speed reading. Torque and RPM sensors mounted to the driving wheels of the vehicle are used to determine the total power output of the vehicle and the total force output of the vehicle is determined by dividing the total power output by the speed signal from the fifth wheel.
