Claims
- 1. An exhaust gas sampling method for analyzing exhaust gas of an automobile, using a flow rate detector mechanism using a variable venturi therein, comprising the following steps:diluting the exhaust gas from the automobile with fresh air from outside; sampling a portion of the diluted exhaust gas into a sampling bag at a certain ratio; and analyzing the diluted exhaust gas being sampled, wherein a flow rate through said flow rate detector mechanism is changed in a phase of mode for measurement, so that at least a final dew point in the sampling bag approaches a predetermined temperature within a predetermined range of temperature.
- 2. The exhaust gas sampling method as defined in claim 1, wherein the flow rate through said flow rate detector mechanism is changed in the phase of mode for measurement, so that the dew points in the sampling bag are averaged.
- 3. The exhaust gas sampling method as defined in claim 1, wherein the flow rate through said flow rate detector mechanism is changed in the phase of mode for measurement, so that at least the flow rate through said flow rate detector mechanism does not exceed the flow rate of the exhaust gas during measurement.
- 4. The exhaust gas sampling method as defined in claim 1, wherein the flow rate of the sampling is changed depending upon the change in the flow rate through said flow rate detector mechanism.
