About This Item
ASTM D8108 is the ASTM standard for determining particulate matter mass from light duty mobile sources using a gravimetric method. It provides a technical basis for measuring collected particulate mass in a consistent way, which can support testing, comparison, and quality control activities. By focusing on a defined mass-based approach, ASTM D8108 helps users evaluate emissions-related performance with greater repeatability and a clearer path to compliance-oriented documentation.
What is ASTM D8108?
ASTM D8108, titled Standard Test Method for Determination of Particulate Matter Mass from Light Duty Mobile Sources (Gravimetric Method), describes a test method centered on weighing particulate matter to determine mass. As a gravimetric method, it relies on controlled collection and measurement rather than indirect estimation. This makes the standard useful where a documented, repeatable approach to particulate mass determination is needed. It is intended to support consistent testing practices for light duty mobile sources and related measurement workflows.
Where is ASTM D8108 used?
ASTM D8108 is commonly used in testing environments that evaluate particulate matter from light duty mobile sources. It may be applied in laboratories, emissions test programs, and product development or verification workflows where gravimetric measurement is part of the assessment process. The standard is relevant when teams need a defined method for collecting and weighing particulate matter for technical comparison, reporting, or compliance-related review. It is especially useful in controlled test setups built around emission measurement.
Why is ASTM D8108 important?
This standard matters because particulate matter mass measurements often need to be consistent, traceable, and suitable for comparison over time or across test programs. ASTM D8108 helps reduce ambiguity by giving users a recognized test method for gravimetric determination. That can support more reliable quality control, better product evaluation, and stronger documentation for engineering or regulatory purposes. For organizations working with light duty mobile sources, it offers a clearer foundation for repeatable emissions-related testing.
