Preferred Label : isokinetic sampling;
Detailed label : isokinetic sampling in atmospheric chemistry;
IUPAC definition : A technique for collecting airborne particulate in which the sampling device has a
collection efficiency of unity for all sizes of particles in sampled air, regardless
of wind velocity and direction of the instrument. The air stream entering the collector
has a velocity (speed and direction) equal to that of the air in the gas stream just
ahead of the sampling port of the collector.;
